Are you ok? (Comparatively speaking of course)

Simple answer: yes I'm okay. Date with death is not pressing issue like it was in October.
Longer answer: so much going on, increasing meds., moments of clarity and feeling like myself followed by the rest of the day or week feeling like I usually do, and the regular ol' whine about how much this disease sucks.
So there you have the vague weekly wrap up for the husster.
You? What's the word in your neck of the woods?
Thank you for asking after me. I forget how much I still need that. It is good to be reminded that it's okay to ask for help. Thanks.

moments of clarity and feeling like myself
Hey - this looks like progress to me! Enjoy those "moments". Write down what it feels like so when they are gone (temporarily) you can remember that they really do exist some of the time.

Husster?! That is great!
I say, whenever you can find something good to hold on to....do so! And, how great it's not all bad. Maybe holiday magic will happen!
If anybody deserves it, it is you!

> SharS,
Awww, danke. You know something I would like to hold on to but it's going to take a little logistical planning to make it happen. I have faith. I also have a temper, depression and a mouth on me so things might not happen. That is my lack of faith. Yin yang. Ding dong. Ping pong. etc.
At least I *know* good things do happen. = ))
Thanks for saying I deserve some holiday magic. For now I'll settle for a quietly growing love.

I'll need some prodding to write down the good stuff. I tend to enjoy the moments but not record them and being as fleeting as they are...whoosh...they're gone.
A definite reminder from time to time, as in "are you keeping up on recording the good stuff o' husster of zen?" would be helpful. What some call nagging I call reminding since I'm not as mindful as I'd like to be. Maybe meds, maybe mood, I'm definitely spaced out in odd ways.
Thanks for the important words. They ring ever so true.

Zen,
What can you do to find some sort of voice that might find you some peace?

I'm working hard on finding my voice and speaking up. I'm quite opinionated on many issues but when it comes to how I'm feeling I've learned that I'm not as in touch with that as I thought.
As for peace? Be with my godkids. Spend time with friends. Get back out in the ocean (you should have seen the swell today! the harbour mouth is closed due to the stormy ocean and surfers are riding a tight wave there...it is illegal otherwise and the only time surfers get that tasty wave) and surf. Train now for 10k next year.
Many thing I could do. I try and get as much done each day as I can. Some days I amaze myself and other days I'm wretchedly short but I'm learning not to hate myself because of that. Learning....a process not something I've already got down. I'm a student to my depression. Somehow there is a lesson in here somewhere, right?
Namasté
