Well, the second edition of The Depression Cure is now available! This is the same book that I wrote this post about over a year ago. I don’t believe in digital content after Apple deleted my entire iTunes library for absolutely no reason, so I got the paper book at Barnes & Noble. This is…

Well. A million thanks to everyone for bearing with me lately! I know the October newsletter was very uninteresting. I did finally discharge on October 27, and am doing much better. Which, I plan to write some inspired entries very soon about that, but my faithful readers will know how I am with cliff hangers…

Well, this will be a short entry, but I wanted to post something in case people were biting their nails over how I made out. I’m still in the hospital. However, I’m on the mend and finally starting to turn a corner. I have several blog ideas, but they will probably not come to fruition…

For years, I’ve been saying that I don’t want to have to deal with traditional therapy; I just want to opt instead for AI and self-help books. However, it’s manadory to work with a human, due to “human connection.” Which would be great, except that Western psychotherapy fundamentally opposes one critical truth: Relationships are not…

Well, things have run into some hiccups. First off, sorry that Part 2 of the newsletter hasn’t happened. Other than that, I thought things were going terrific. VF was proud of me that I’d been out of the hospital for a while. I was in a crisis unit in April, and don’t remember the last…

The Four-Step Plan is still in place!! First off, if you’re reading this, thank you so much! Lately I’ve been running into issues where I put information on my blog, and then forget to actually verbally tell people what’s going on in my life. So, for example, I go back to substitute teaching next week….

Survivors’ guilt is real. It was over a year ago that I got out of HBM in Worcester, and it still haunts me on the day-to-day. I’ve asked myself why I can’t move on. And there are reasons. Obviously, it permanently changed my ability to trust providers and be open if I needed help. Worse,…

Hello everyone! Long time no post, it’s been crazy. In the first half of July, happy things kept happening. On July 2, I saw the cardiologist, since the PCP had previously given me some bad news about my heart. Well, the cardiologist looked at everything and declared it all to be a false alarm; my…

Yeah, it’s been pretty painful. Just one week ago, I was so hopeful going into the procedure. They had to put a stent in my right ureter. The last time this happened, I didn’t know that I was supposed to limit activity afterwards. So I was walking three miles each way to my highly-physical job…

Well. I’m here awaiting a procedure. They’re planning on doing lithotripsy and placing another stent for my right kidney. I am incredibly frustrated because I thought the stone would just pass by itself, but here we are. So, I thought I would type out my plan for my life, because why not? I definitely feel…
