Welfare is a big scary unknown, but it can be there to catch you when you're falling.
Non-profit sector work pays well, I think and they need smart people.
you ARE smart. is there anything you can do like freelancing until you get your feet under you.
maybe I can pay you to write babble-posts for me. oh. wait. I think I better write them myself.
This is all so very very unfair. keep feeding your dog/s? and yourself and keep your strength up. You are smart, and you have talents. You can make it trhough this.
Even if your pdoc is too logical (I sympathize) they come from a place where they want to help. My pdoc (whom I recently have had tensions with) gave me free samples today after an insurance snafu. It was so kind I almost started crying.
Gazo- can you do me a small small favor today? just one thing, well two, because you have to do it, and then post about it.
Will you keep your eyes open for something beautiful? Then will you tell me about it?
Sometimes in the midst of the most ugly feelings in the world the presence of beauty can be experienced in stark relief. or it just provides relief.
I'm just blabbing on. feel free to stop reading whenever your eyes start hurting
That suggestion was given to me by a very kind friend who used to post on these boards, curtm. I still remember the day when he told me to find a beautiful thing on my way home from work (I had a devastating depression last year). I still remember what they were. 1) the smell of some fragrant and unidentifyable May flower) 2) my stingy landlord had planted a tiny ring of impatiens around the maple tree outside my window.
That's all. but I still remember and I still smile. miss curtm, though. He's busy, I think?
best to you, and take the best care of gazo. We'll keep in touch, okay?
