Welcome to My Blog

Hello!

I am successfully being treated for major depressive disorder. Besides seeing my lovely psychologist regularly and my psychiatrist several times a year, I put a lot of effort into self-care.

I hope my journey and efforts encourage you.

If you are having an emergency, psychiatric or otherwise, go the emergency room or call 911 or your local paramedics. Call your doctor. Call the police. Call someone!!!!

You are worthy enough to be alive on this planet.

My Birthday was Great . . .

because I made it so.

When I got up, I opened the envelopes that I received last week. I opened the gifts I bought myself. I wore my new clothes and felt fresh and new. I went to my new part-time job. When I came home, I used a $2.00 brownie mix with chocolate frosting and made myself a pan of brownies. I read my birthday greetings that came via email and Facebook. I took half the pan of brownies to my dad's house. We ate brownies. He gave me a beautiful birthday card (and a check). My godmother tracked me down at my dad's and wished me happy birthday. Dad and and I watched our favorite t.v. shows. Then when I went home, I listened to the birthday message on my answering machine that my godmother left. I went to bed feeling all warm and chocolate-ly inside.

The next day I went to my job club meeting and told everyone I just turned 35, and they believed me! Then I told them my real age.
