Thanksgiving birthday
Every 7 years, my birthday rolls around on Thanksgiving day. This is the year! I didn’t want to spend it alone, so I made plans to go see my family in Idaho. I figured it would be the best option to not sit home and feel sad. All week, I have been editing the gratitude…

Tired
It has been both busy and not. It has mostly been busy in my head. I have been feeling very tired and only able to accomplish one or two things a day. I have had several routine doctor visits with blood draws and more to come. I have had counseling appointments and was trying to…

Yet another Fall
Here we are in the middle of fall. It doesn’t feel that way in Phoenix as it was over 100 today. I am lethargic and tired. I feel lackluster and unable to make myself do anything, so I am writing. I have plenty I could do but lack the motivation to do so. I have…

Mental Health
The day after I wrote last, I woke up in a terrible state of depression. I was cutting down on the anti-depressant I was prescribed in Sweden. I had been taking it for several months, but I wanted so much to get off it. There are several reasons. One was I didn’t have a doctor…

Worthy
It has been a challenging week. Thankfully my daughter Rebecca and my granddaughter Shelby are here visiting. I have been incapable of doing a lot as the depression has hit hard but each day gets better. The long conversations with Rebecca have been therapeutic. We have been enjoying time in the pool, and meal times…

Swimming pool
This past week has been a lot of breakdowns and some breakthroughs. On Monday, I attended my weekly seminar through Landmark. We talked a lot more in-depth about this than we had during the forum and advanced courses. Our homework was to recognize them and then share with others. A breakdown is when something happens…
