For the first time ever in our time together, T asked me how I felt about something. At the moment, I was about to maybe finally access a feeling (sadness) but it disappeared as I smirked and said, I can't believe you just asked me that. She at least had the decency to blush.

Am I mentally ill, or just a sane man having a normal reaction to a difficult job?
How can one tell?

It's been over a month since I've seen a therapist. I should have gotten a call about the new referral two weeks ago but I haven't heard from them yet. I'm sort of losing the will to do things and I'm tired of everything. Getting up in the mornings is really difficult. Going to university is really difficult. Cleaning my room is really difficult. Cooking is really difficult. Answering emails is really difficult. Writing this is really difficult. Talking to people is really difficult. Being around people is really difficult. Studying is really difficult. Everything is so difficult. I'm utterly depressed. I even cried yesterday night (and I hardly ever cry). The only good things that has happened recently is that my assessment has started.

"I always say that the opposite of depression is not happiness but vitality, and that depression has to do with finding all of life completely overwhelming. It's a poverty of the English language that we only have that one word, depression, that's used to describe how a little kid feels when it rains on the day of his baseball game, and it's also used to describe why people spend their lives in mental hospitals and end up killing themselves. But clinical depression really has to do with the feeling that you can't do anything, that everything is unbelievably difficult, that life is completely terrifying, and a feeling of this free-floating despair, which is overpowering and horrifying."
- Andrew Solomon

I'm a prisoner in my own mind and not having anyone to talk to about all of this is starting to tear me down.

Sorry for whining/complaining.

Hope you're well,

neutrino

In th hospital...not psych, medical...don't ask, it's personal. They sent a t n because I've been "stressed". They did tell him I'm t proof. What ever, 5 min talk no biggie. So why am I still crying an hour later? I'm like "Shane, Shane come back Shane!"
(Old movie reference)

Why am I so pathetic?

Wikid - good to hear from you. I know the movie quote but I have never seen the movie.
If it means you might like to talk to their therapist more, may I gently suggest just tell them to get the therapist back to you?

Hey Wiki... thanks for checking in.

I don't think the tears are pathetic. like SD said... if its helpful to talk to someone than ask for him to come back... Maybe you aren't so T proof as you think...

Wikid, thinking of you. I hope so much that you start feeling better physically and emotionally. Asking them to send the T back does not make you weak, just as crying DOES NOT make you pathetic. You have a lot going on.
Thanks for this!

First world problem - my avocado was not ripe and eating a crunchy one is a pain.

They have that problem in the third world, too.
But here's a first world solution: microwave.

I did not know you could ripen an avocado in the microwave. I have put the others in a brown bag.

Not ripen. Cook. At least it wouldn't be crunchy.

Hey Can'tExplain, I can definitely relate to your question. I have been diagnosed with situational depression--basically I become depressed and anxious because I am in a difficult situation. It's hard to know how to go forward, to remain motivated; hard to keep all the balls in the air without motivation. Regardless of whether this is "illness" I have been finding therapy helpful. Hope things work out for you.

For my post-therapy hangover days, I taught a pretty lame class in front of my supervisor and get my evaluation tomorrow.

Wiki, big hugs to you! Crying sometimes just has to happen, a cleansing of the ducts and nasal passages. If 5 minute T can help, I say bring them back. You are a strong women who carries a lot on her shoulders , it's nice to alleviate some of that weight by talking to someone else. Missing you, glad you checked in with us. Sending you good vibes

My first word problem was that I cannot spell and made several attempts before I got avocado done correctly.
