Cry - Medication
I've been crying in the morning and afternoon for more than a week now. Sadness, disappointment and discouragement swirl within me. I'm grieving the loss of friends and family as well as thinking about my own death: growing older, sickness and dying. Then a strange feeling came to me about 5:00 p.m. I began to feel my mood lighten and I found some humor in life. This has been the first signs of optimism and fun that I've had during the past three - four weeks. I am taking more medication and maybe this afternoon it started to come together.

I just wanted to say that I've read through a lot of your posts and your ability to endure all that you've gone through and are going through is truly inspirational. Certain mental illnesses run in my family and I have seen firsthand how unbelievably challenging they can be to cope with. I know that medication is very important, and life would doubtless be impossible without it. Nonetheless, I think some 'internal' things (if medication can be considered 'external') might help too...have you ever read any of Tony Robbins' books? I highly recommend "Awaken the Giant Within". Some of it is a little much, but most of it is very inspiring and empowering. Meditation can also be very useful too, I think. Anyway, power to you. The world is a tough place for a lot of us...you're not alone in being alone...we're all alone together. Some of us are just more cognizant of it than others. Peace.
