It's Been A Very Long Time

Written by dkchi on
The last post was in December 2006. WOW! I could use the excuse of school again, and it wouldn't be soooo far off. This semester was tough, but it had nothing to do with the classes. It had to do with a recent diagnosis. Well, not actually the diagnosis, rather the illness itself. You see, I've been diagnosed as having dysthymia , or long-term depression, and anxiety . Another great big WOW! Of course, it explains a lot--especially the absence from here--and many other places, believe me. Thankfully, the anxiety is either the general type or possibly, post traumatic stress disorder . No, I'm ... Read Full Story

blah-day

today really is a blah-damn day. went downtown to the outdoor showing of "on the waterfront" with marlon brando. hadn't seen it in YEARS. thank goodness we've come a long way in filming and scriptwriting, altho it is a classic. but didn't even get home til 12:30am, and then not asleep til 1 or 2, which is sooooo late for this old girl. so, from previous posting " cat corner " you can see, rocky and lola seem to be getting on a little better.

Little Emotional Barometers

Written by beinwonder on
Any guess what the title is referring to? Children. In a forum I frequent (OK, the only forum I frequent), someone posted about hiding her sadness from her children. I responded similarly to the following: Don't. And decided I'd expand my thoughts into a blog entry. I'll start with a story about my son. After an upsetting phone call with a family member, I sat down and cried. Wesley noticed, said, "Mommy's sad," and broke into tears himself. He looked terrified. Rather than wipe away my tears and force a smile I said, "Mommy is sad right now. No matter how sad Mommy is, ... Read Full Story

Winter Chills Answer to Summer Prayers

Written by dkchi on
Right now, January 15, 2008 in Chicago, IL it is 25 degrees, but feels like 20. Living on the shores of Lake Michigan, it looks like a frigid hinterland outside the door. In preparation for the new (and last) semester at college, I've been cleaning and organizing my computer files. I've never asked, but I'm hoping that I'm not the only writer who has 3 and 4 rewrites of the same piece. During this exploratory operation, I discover a piece from the dog days of last summer that only too well typifies the schizophrenia of people. We ALWAYS want what we don't have--regardless. Alaska ... Read Full Story

There is no Escape for Dysfunctional Mother and Step-Father

Written by sakamato on
After losing a family member through their own negligence and inability to see clear signs that this person was in extreme distress, leaves them in so deep a hole that there is no escape. As far as I know their marriage has survived this tragedy but, then again, one wonders how stable it is. It would seem that the mother would have considered the oldest daughter (the one who committed suicide) to be the black sheep of the family as it reminded her of her first failed marriage. Also, the younger two children would have needed more attention at the expense of the oldest ... Read Full Story
