It’s been a while, friends…
Mostly because of good things. I’ve been busy and that’s good.
I’ve been working third shift which has been really hard, but overall good. I’m also still playing a lot of music with my band and things are going well with my boyfriend too.
So in terms of “functioning” I’ve still been making a lot of progress. I know there won’t be a moment when I feel “better.” I know it’s not as simple as that. At some point though I think I will gradually realize that I have found a bit of peace again.. and passion… Until then I just keep pressing on.
I read an interesting article yesterday about a man from Milwaukee who died just last spring. Parts of his story were strangely similar to mine, but overall our situations are a lot different. He, too, had been largely successful until his early/mid 20′s and then for seemingly no reason just crashed. I struggle with that a lot.. wanting to “recover” but not really being able to say what I am recovering from. It is so hard to find understanding. In a sense it was comforting to see that I’m not the only one…

Hello, stranger! I’ve been thinking about you a lot and hoping you were OK. I’m glad that you are. Third shift sucks…especially when you’re not used to it.
BTW, I deleted that last whiny post…I can do better than that.
Didn’t take my meds like I was supposed to.
Good to see you back, my friend.

I’m glad you are doing well. I was worried about you. It is always nice to know that you aren’t the only one
