Well, I’m here to write about my Life Plans again. To start, I’m referencing some entries I uploaded over the summer. I have this “flipbook” app, which I think sort of works? But I’m backing it up with the files converted to jpg. If anyone is dying for the links to the previous entries, you…

Well, I’ve written about friendship on here before, and why it’s really hard to build when you have PTSD. So, I’m going to start by re-sharing some quotes from myself. I’m linking to the original entries, as well, but these are excerpts. From “This Could be the End” (Posted October 6, 2023)https://apostateturtle.com/?p=1224 “They don’t need…

Well, I’ve finally scraped together time to make this entry. I wish I had done it three weeks ago, but hopefully it will still come out okay. This is the first in a three-part series that I drafted out in my mind while I was in the hospital. (The next two will be on Building…

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,…
