Cipralexing Day 1 @5mg
So…I decided that with my dark thoughts before my trip that it might not be a bad idea to give the antidepressants another try given that my stressors are generally external and stem from people, from whom I cannot totally isolate myself. Whilst in Turkey, I got my hands on more Cipralex as it is…

I’m back…
Back to the grind. Trying to get my new schedule settled and to also re-evaluate my priorities each day. More to say. More to tell. But…am working on uploading the pics from the trip and then will update with

Update – Turkey
So, I had started to post on my days in Turkey, but then I decided to postpone them until I can put up pictures, otherwise, it isn’t as good to just read about it. Besides that, I need to have an abbreviated version of my pics since there are going to hundreds of photos to…

Spring Break!
As I typed the title, I realized it could have another meaning…as in releasing a mental break…. I guess my darkish thoughts have not yet passed, but lie hidden underneath with moments of peace, but with occasional reminders that it is still there. Anyway, spring break has indeed begun and I take off tomorrow for…

On a Happier Note…
Now that I’ve gone down the scary dark road, I’m trying to return to the lighter ways…. Last night, a friend and I went to dinner and our second Andrea Bocelli concert. It was a really lovely night out and just what I needed in terms of conversation and activity. The concert was just okay.…

Dark Thoughts…
Me and vodka do not really go well together. Whenever I have vodka drinks I end up feeling very very dark. With my already dark tendencies, especially of late (as you may notice in my posts), I get really hopeless about this life. Anyway, I have really been unhappy with everything and everyone lately. One…

Lately, the voice in my head is full of angry under and over tones. The other day I was in the car on the way to work feeling a really deep-seeded dislike of people. Not just a disgust with society or annoyance at the various A-holes on the road, but a truly raw “I can’t…

Lost Daughter…
Yesterday, I read this article on the blog “Lost Daughters”. It hit home in many ways as it relates to being caught between worlds and struggling to not only find my place, but to be accepted for the place that I have found. There is one place in the world where I felt totally ‘normal’…

Mental Health Day
So, yesterday, I called (wrote) in ‘sick’. Strangely, when I said that I had a migraine, I thought I felt one coming on and was worried that I actually was going to spend the day with a headache. However, thankfully it passed. It’s been quite a while since I took a day off that didn’t…

Latino Carnaval 2013
My Mexican friend, P often invites me to the Latin community’s events, but this is the first time I agreed to go. While I had expected a bit more craziness and partying, it was more conservative. Perhaps the location and country kept things tame. 🙂 So, we had a good time. The music was nice…
