Making my way, every day; Walking the road, bearing the load. Making it a little, but not all alone; Starting a life, getting it going.

Just a man, pausing in his daily walk to ponder.



























A New Thoughtful Spot
 
Tuesday, January 29, 2002  
You know, I'm really beginning to be frustrated with these periodic bouts of depression (periodic in the sense of repeating, over and over again, according to a set time frame, and not meaning every once in a great while). It's just downright silly to have some silly little something drop me off the cliff into a sea of pain and anguish. But about every 10 days or so - lovely thought, that the period between bouts is shrinking now - I just get sent off the deep end. Maybe my friends are right, and I DO need to see someone about this, because I don't know if I can keep on going, always feeling terrible about myself. Of course, on top of this depression thing, I'm severely introverted and a perfectionist, which just makes things all the easier. Either everything is perfect (which still, for some reason is only just good enough), or everything is horrible and I'm a dismal failure. Gee, I'm almost starting to sound bi-polar now. Of course, there is always my theory about me: I'm teetering on the brink, holding just this side of the line that puts me in the nuthouse. And maybe I am just some whacked out nutjob, that needs a good counselor and a prescription for happy pills. But that's the coward's way out - pills, that is. If I can't take it on my own, there has to be someone who can show me the way - if for no other reason than that, if there is no better way, I don't think I want to keep on living the life I'm living. And so, I await my muse, my complement, my other half, and hope against hope that I'll recognize it when I come across it.
