Wise Madness
We’ve been having midterms and I’ve had trouble finding the time to write. What exciting things have happened? On Friday night I went to see Alex Battle at Sunny’s at the other end of the universe, aka Red Hook. It takes an hour and a half to get there. I had never seen Alex but […]
The functional depression has been hitting me hard. I’ve spent too much of the last two days sleeping. Realizing that I forced myself to be proactive. I took a five-and-a-half mile walk through some neighborhoods I rarely go to. Going how I just choose to walk down streets I haven’t walked before. I wanted to […]
I need to go out today, but I need to write first. Why? I didn’t write yesterday. But why do I have to write at all? Because I love My Gentle Readers and don’t want to disappoint them. It was my treatment plan day in therapy. My score on the depression test went from three […]
Good morning, well good afternoon, would you believe good evening? I’m writing this only 12 hours late, it’s 9:33 PM. Remember the days I would bang out an entry every day before noon. There were semesters I banged them out before 8 AM. COVID-19 has a strange affect on time. It must have to do […]
I’m back to the blahs. I’m not as bad as I was on Thursday but I’m not right either. I was proactive yesterday and forced myself to take a walk. It was a beautiful day again and I know that helps. Unfortunately, the GPS on my phone got turned off so I don’t know how […]
Good news, I woke up this morning feeling much better. There’s always some residual discomfort after an obstruction but that’s minor. I’ve been able to eat normally today. Breakfast was scrappleeggsandcheese on pita. I put up a cold brew on Sunday when this was just starting. I kept it brewing until this morning. It tasted […]
Blogging in the time of COVID-19 is different. My entire schedule is different. Writing in the afternoon is becoming more common. I wish it wouldn’t. Notice I’m still saying COVID-19 even if the world is saying “Novel Corona Virus.” That causes too much confusion as there are many corona viruses and what applies to one […]
I was in way too good a mood during therapy yesterday. I know why but that’s not the most useful state to be in for the therapy to be effective. It’s not that I don’t want to be in a good mood, it’s that I want to time them for when I’m not working on […]
Welcome to a not feeling human until afternoon edition of Wise Madness. I discussed this with my psychiatrist yesterday and it finally got through my sleep dulled head that this might not be depression; that the reason I’m so sleepy is my sleep apnea. Depression and anxiety might exacerbate it, but I bet the main […]
I spent much of my therapy session discussing how I am having problems staying awake. I slept till noon this morning. I went to bed at 1 AM. This is becoming a real problem. How did I get by at NERFA? I’ve had two cups of coffee and if I let myself, I could fall […]
