I’m Game!
I didn’t realize that I had been tagged multiple times. I should have! As I was saying to Angel, events that occurred during my depressive fog kind of jumble together. So, I’m still catching up. So, I’ve arrived at Angel’s Questions. Here’s the deal. I’m not going to tag, because I’m sure everyone has been … Continue reading
Through the Wood
I feel liberated! Something happened today. There was no click, or anything that proceeded it. It came as a light trickle from an empty well. I felt inspired. I started generating original thoughts again. The dense fog dispersed, and I could see once more. I awaken from an inky, dreamless slumber that lasted millenniums. The … Continue reading

My eyes weren’t even open yet. The pain was exquisite. My belly ached with hunger. Good. That means it’s getting smaller. My muscles were raw and sore. Good. They’re getting stronger.

Faded. Tired. Uninspired.
I’m in hiding. I can’t put my finger on it. What the hell is going on with me? I feel like I’m doing laps around it. Hotter, colder, colder, hotter. No matter how hard I search, I cannot get a grasp on the object of my torment. This has rendered me useless. Depression, as it … Continue reading
Why Self-injuious Behavior?
A response to carlanee’s post about self-destructive behavior. It expands upon the basic concepts noted in the reply. Most of the time, in the clinical world, it’s referred to as “self-injurious behavior”. That includes all kinds of harmful behaviors directed toward oneself across all diagnoses. It’s fact that SIB (self-injurious behavior) is often a behavioral … Continue reading
