Dec 2011

I know the depression, the effectiveness of my meds over the years waxes and wanes. At my worst this depression is a black hole that sucks the life out of everything.

I may have been fragile at some point in my life, but that's buried under at least forty years of scar tissue or hidden by autistic spectrum insensitivity. I'm not sure. The things that set me off don't seem to be related to what anyone says about me, it's more about what's happening. I HATE flying, I don't like parties, I'm constantly fidgeting, and all my clothes have to feel the same...

...enough of that, it's nice to see you here!
