I'm doing awful tonight. I am so dizzy I can not stand on my own without falling. I have to have help going through the house. I dont know whats going on! Thank God I am not alone!!
 
Well in 6hrs its my weekend :piano:, its not been a bad week but loooong. Life has been pretty good to me recently so no complaints. Going to see my Dr. on Tuesday hope he's not feeling like a vampire this time.
 
I had my son spend the night last night and that is good. We had a fun morning and then bused into town because I do not drive. We met with my good friend and his son(my son's best friend) for coffee/tea at the cafe. Then He got a ride home and I bused to my volunteer shift of work at the food coop. That is good, but still somehow very sad today. Can make no art and Just accepting that now I am in soft middle age and divorced, unemployed, not interested in commercialism and have no faith in the system, or my gen-X peers.
it is raining all day and I wonder if its all worth it.
 
I quit my job Today. I hadn't been happy there for a while so once I spoke to my boss & handed in my key but I felt so much better.

I did toilets, washed floors, Dusted, getting ready for making supper, then it's computer books and if I can I'll sleep till seizures wake me. In that order

Remember any day above ground is a good day.
 
I am deeply depressed, I have had a cold for the past few days. I'm tired of being mocked, and I want my driver's license back. I know I need treatment for depression, but I dont want to go to the psychiatrist.

I went on a 5-mile hike today. I feel so virtuous now that I think I'll have a beer and watch some bad TV...

I love hiking! Can't wait to get my driving privileges back (in the next week - woot woot!!!) so I can go out into the Adirondacks again! They're only about 45 minutes from me, and I love it out there :)

Today is lazy so far though :) Hoping and wishing my foot stops hurting SOON so I can get back to running. It's been a few weeks without, and it makes me kinda crazy not being able to run! I may end up doing another one of my "marathon cross training" sessions... aka, three to 3.5 hours in the cardio room doing everything except running to at least build my heart to marathon condition (even if my legs might not be quite there).

I'm sorry :( I hope you get to feeling better soon! It may be a good day for hot tea (or hot cocoa, or whatever you like) and some chocolate :) Well, I know you posted this a few days ago, but if you're still feeling icky!

When do you get your driver's license back?
 
Life's New Season

@ShannonD & RunningGirl85: I was feeling a little less depressed, until my workplace terminated me today, lol. :twocents: I am making an appt w/mental health sooner than later--I kno I will be more vulnerable to depression now. I was light in a dark place for those 6 months!!! If there's one thing about E, it is that we are eccentric (in a + way). I will miss my pepz there. I will take the tea/hot cocoa suggestion. I hope you feel better ShannonD!! :) I do. At least we are all in it together; CWE brings me so much comfort. Tomorrow, I'm going 2 the law library :pfft: and I am going to become a clt of Epilepsy Foundation (try to utilize their Legal Defense Fund). B/c I just had another sz on 10.8.2012, it would be 05.08.2013 to reapply (6 months?). In the meantime, I am creating a petition on change.org. :clap:
 
Well I spent hours at the ssa building not being able to find my ID, but that's ok, they give me money from the state anyway. Just kidding. sortof. Anyway I was sitting next to this lady and she was raised in a lot of different foster homes. Now shes twenty and trying to get on ssi. So I talked to her for a while. Later, I came back to the same place where I was sitting, I can't recognise faces any more ( this is one reason people think I am crazy) I just asked her how she was doing and went on and on and on and she said you think that I told you I was raised in foster homes.oooooooops lol thats why laughing is essential. I told her I had serious epilepsy and I dont reconise faces. She looked at me point blank and said "To Bad" Living like this is a secret. But funny
