Keeping busy to distract yourself? I get that, and yes numbing with alcohol, I used to do that once in a while, but I get more depressed. I'd rather have coffee. I want to live where I'm vacationing, this is my second time here. I had plans but they've all gone to pot. This ''friend'' who was in my country but is in this country is not helping as planned. I did talk to someone today about buying a cheap house. It'd be better to rent, It's not practical though as I'd lose my health care and have to pay the govt here every month (not a huge amount but still) and then what do i do, buy my meds out of pocket... not a great idea. I hope you can figure this out so you can be happier. Please don't end things. One thing I'm learning is no matter where we are we are still the same inside. Yes it's nice to feel warmth in the winter, but it doesn't solve my problems. I apologize for talking about me, but I'm trying to understand how you might feel ''home'' is not where you are. Hugs @seabird
I'm fatigued upon waking up, but the good part is that I remembered much of a detailed dream, including emotions and thought processes in it. That's something I rarely do anymore, it seems since the increase in my psych meds. One of them was discontinued
last week, so I hope this is an indication that things are changing back, closer to normal.
peace

No worries in fact thank you because you talking about you helps me get additional perspective on myself. Plus, it's good to let things out here. Safe. I'm grateful for SF. And for living where I do, in a nice and peaceful situation.
Sorry your friend isn't helping. It takes a considerable amount of thought and then courage to take a big leap like moving country. It's great you are on vacation in a place you enjoy.
Yes I agree about alcohol causing a much more sever depression. It wreckes all sorts of things in our lives and bodies. It helped kill my brother.
hugs back @toomuchreality

A lot of things really, but above all else, very deeply grateful for everyone and everything that has ever been “good and right” in my life, and in a way even some of the more “challenging” people and things too because of the invaluable lessons I have learned from those experiences.
It has been a challenging last few weeks for me. I had heavy bleeding (related to my menstral “cycle” even though it has never been regular) and ended up going to the hospital to see what could be done about it. They prescribed me some pills to take when it was really heavy like that, then I was able to get in quickly for a pelvic ultrasound. After that my doc also wanted me to get a blood test to make sure it wasn’t anything to do with that.
Finally, on Monday (a week ago today, it was on the 12th) I went to my doc and he told me I had uterine fibroids. Now I am waiting to be able to see a gynecologist to discuss options about “what to do about them” but won’t even have the appointment for a couple weeks still. Once I get the appointment then it probably won’t be for at least a couple months from now. I am just really hoping in the next couple months that there won’t be a lot more of those “heavy bleeding” days, it is very stressful dealing with that. It’s making me worry about going out (having to “walk” everywhere and all) so ya it is making things very challenging for sure. Still, it has actually made some very positive things happen in terms of my family. They are finally seeming to make a real, sincere and caring effort to me, guess all it took was a potentially life-threatening thing happening to me, yet my many years of struggling with mental health was never addressed with nearly so much love and supportiveness. Ugh. I know we’ve come a long way from even 10-20 years ago in terms of acknowledging “mental health” and the importance of it, but sometimes it definitely still feels like it has a LONG way to go.
Anyway like I said in the first paragraph, despite these challenges, I feel so grateful that the sincere, deep, caring love and support that I’ve always needed so much from my family is finally being truly given to me

Here for, and pulling for you, as always, I hope you do so very well know... Take care and keep on forging ahead, as you always have done in the past, and I have no doubts or concerns about anything with you. For your attitude always has had, and always will have, a positive effect on me, when it comes to inspiration, or one of that which I can aspire to. So thank you once again, @JMG - for the update. And we shall now wish you a fond farewell, or good evening, at the very least! So long, and until next time.
