How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Thank you for seeing that. I’m glad that you and others in SF can understand. I have sought treatment, and as a result, I don’t want to admit that it’s my illness.
In USA it’s my fault for suffering, so I have been punished for being sick. I went to get help, but instead I was given restrictions for acting like someone in pain would be expected to act.
There is no help, and when I complained, they took advantage of my vulnerability to kick me while I was down, plus charged me tens of thousands of dollars for the ordeal. If the so called professionals who are entrusted with care of mental patients are allowed to do that, how much worse should I be expecting people such as employers or others who make decisions about me to treat me??? No- I must hide. I can’t afford to show my weakness.

It's finally warmish (big ISH) in London... so I got sick. No idea how or where I caught it, but it's bloody annoying. And I'm using more electric heating than in the middle of winter. 
I've got a painting to finish but can't seem to pick up a brush. I'm watching art history documentaries on youtube instead, and they are so fun and making me feel better.

@SillyOldBear Thank you so much for the meanings in those words are able to take the pain away. It does come down to moment by moment decisions to turn toward life. That sounds trite. But for now anyway that is where I sit with this. I also constantly wish it was easier for all of us. There's way too much pain in this world

I understand. I understand completely, I do... from where &/or why--you are coming from the place in which you do. For such horrific experiences and treatment at the hands of those who were charged with overseeing your care. That's why I always laugh, after the fact, when other say... "If only he/or she, etc. ~ would have gone and sought help??" (as if: that would automatically; & by default, take care of it!). Anyway, I don't blame you as I've said, for feeling the way you do. Always just keep in the back of your mind, perhaps other 2nd opinions out there who may exist. And maybe just one of them would be, or could be your right match, so to speak? I do realize the futility of it all, however. And so I can see, and appreciate your point of view. It's a societal issue. And the medical community is not exempt from sharing some of these same beliefs. For they are human, just like every body else. So as long as there is prejudice against us, in the real or outer world, then there will always be too, from within (their care facilities: hospitals, clinics, out patient & so on)...
a lttle under the weather but pretty much ok. my energy has been weird this week. i wake up with energy, a few hours later i'm very tired and around dinner time i have some energy with or without a nap, growing old is weird lol. a little frustrated because my 64 dodge still didn't start but i know it's just a minor issue so my son will help me get it started and bring it home saturday
