I vehemently REFUSE to sit at my computer in a pool of self pity any longer. I am DONE with that!!
My God, soldiers come home from the war with missing limbs, disfigurement--they run marathons and start new organizations!!! What did I do when I came home from 'non-war-zone' deployment? I had a wonderful son to welcome me home, great physical health, $$$$ in the bank, perfect credit, friends who were still interested, contractor plans for a newly remodeled house, a great job waiting for me-the whole dept. welcoming my return, only so I could subsequently QUIT...great univ. scholarship and opportunity...How the f*uck could I complain because I had anxiety????
So maybe those soldiers were not prone to depression, maybe they don't have the family mental health history and abuse history that I have had, or maybe they did, but you know what, if I COULD do the things I have done in the past 2 days, why CAN'T I do anything I put my mind too???? If I COULD spend 5 hours itemizing my federal taxes, get my car fixed, go to numerous meetings and appts., cook great meals..shower every day, etc. etc. if I could do all that, then why is it so impossible for me to do EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING I WANT TO DO AT THIS POINT ON??? If I can force myself to do those things, why couldn't I force myself to do everything???
Screw that. There's much to be said about mind over matter. This is not to imply anyone else can, but like I said, if I could FORCE myself to do the above, why shouldn't I be able to force myself to do everything else? As far as 'anyone else can'--some really can't, medically--BUT - we ALL can CHOOSE faith. yes, that's something we all can do. We have the choice, and I choose faith. This is not to be confused with religion -I follow none.
I'm like a cat; I have 9 lives. i have been soooo close to being killed in several accidents, including freak accidents. SOMETHING is looking after me. If I was meant to die, I would be dead. Letting myself spiritually die is no different than being dead!!!
So tomorrow, 2/13/09, is the first day of my new life--Life #7.

Pride....an interesting concept. Something 10's of millions of poor people in the West and Eastern worlds want too. The United Nations say's we should have this. Read on.. This, for Dr. M. L. King:

"Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride..."
