A cool wind in my face
A lover beckoning me forward
Calling me into the darkness
Into the abyss
I look into it, long and hard
One hand reaching forward
One hand holding myself back

I am thinking about moving somewhere far away. It is just too expensive, and I need a change. I can't even live on my own anymore. Rent is ridiculous. Taxes are too. Plus, I really need a change. Everything reminds me of something negative that has happened to me. I've been hit with a lot: friends who have died, bad endings to relationships, and life is so mundane here. I've been sticking it out for a while. I know that I'll need to wait a couple of more years, but in the meantime, I think I'll try to visit different places. I'll have to space it out, but I need to really see what's out there. The place that I live, there's a lot of rude people. I need a more relaxed, friendlier environment than here. That would be more motivating, since not much opportunity is here for me anymore. I want to have a better quality of life. Just starting to think and brainstorm. It won't happen real soon, but I think this needs to happen.

Gord Downie will be missed. We will always have his beautiful poetic lyrics. I can’t choose a favourite song, there are many.
(Grew up going to Hip concerts in the 80’s and met them back stage once when I was 22).

I am doing ok. I feel fine. The weather here is rainy and gloomy though. Yet, I am doing ok. I like my light work schedule. I have more time to spend doing things I like. I am happy. I taught a class today. I talked to my mother and this made me happy. I have tomorrow off. I will go out and do some chores.

Today’s the day. Meet new pdoc. Feeling anxious in a normal manner but biggest irrational paranoia is she’ll say I’m a big fake and making everything up just to have attention. Doesn’t even matter if I read my ramblings over past 8 months and I know I need help I still have this paranoid thought.

Still working on anew place to live. Very stressed we are running out of time. Going to look at another apartment tonight. Husband and I have been disagreeing on things. He is going to have to lower his expectations. We are not in a position to be to picky. Anyway I don't know what's going to happen. Hugs everyone

Yes, in depression.

Met pdoc. Went well and I feel reassured to have her in my corner. BP 2 diagnosis, starting me on very low dose lamotrigine with intent to increase up to 100mg a day. But just 1 25 mg a day for first 2 weeks. Follow up in 5 wks to increase dosing. She gave me her phone number too which gives me confidence too.
It’s confirmed what I’ve suspected this year but still sad and scary to have it confirmed. She also said it’s imperitive I get a full 8 hrs sleep a night.

THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!!!!

The shadows call me
Whispering words that slide into my ears
Like smoke under a door
Come to me
I want to
The darkness waits, for me, with the patience of no other

Sigh...depression is really bad today. I’m fighting urges to overdose and to hurt myself. Fortunately I’m at the end of the month on my meds so I only have a small supply. And I intentionally don’t keep things like razors and box cutters in the house. I could break a glass but that’s too much.

I had another hospital dream last night, thank god no self harm though because that would have messed up my whole day more than it already was.

I distracted myself by grading tests. Now I’m talking to the guy I’m seeing. That’s helping distract me too.

Maybe tomorrow I will wake up and be fine.

Going to pdoc tomorrow, I have no idea what to say. I know it'll probably result in more zyprexa and lamictal. Can I really tell him I thought light would come out if I cut myself. Last week I wanted to OD. Now I think I'm fine except for my double ear infection that I have yet to see the dr about.
