Hi there Dee. If you'll check the time I made this post, it's about 3:00 A.M. The rest of the world is sound asleep. Neighborhood is dark and quiet. I'm not up at this crazy hour because I feel like a million bucks. Just the opposite. I've been in your shoes too often. I'm not that bad right now, but boy can I sure relate.
Is there anything you've found in the past to pass time? For me the only thing is to have someone go to the video store and get me a handful of action movies. I don't really 'enjoy' them, because I can't feel joy. But they do occupy my time and distract my focus from my misery. Passes the time. Seems to me the secret is figuring out how to pass the day one half hour at a time. Any bigger chunks of time is just too much to deal with. Overwhelming. You know what I mean? I know you do. Anyway, is there anything that works for you to pass the time?
Thirty years is such a long time. What medications have you tried? What about now? Wish I had some suggestions. Past history might help. In the meantime, just know you are one of millions to visit that dark dark dark place. It's not as lonely and deserted at it seems. And it is just a visit, not a permanent stay.
I hate it when people say, "Have a good day". Or, "Have a nice day". Or whatever. No such thing. So I'll wish you my favorite line which seems more appropriate, understanding, and compassionate, and sometimes achievable..."Wishing you a smooth day". :) JohnL
