Trudging Along Alone
3 years ago
In real life, I am reticent and I have all but mastered the art of ambivalence. So many things are going on and to top them off I do not know if I am coming out of an episode or going in to one.
I feel like it could go either direction right now. I dread the road of depression, the mere thought of fighting through another one is painful, but in a strange sense, it is almost comforting.
The threat of yet another episode is looming over my head. The strange part about it is I am not sure which type of episode. For the most part thus far, I have been fighting against it and treading water, but I’m only doggy-paddling now. The urges to pull away from everyone and everything are getting stronger, but the desire to get closer to some people is still holding its ground.

2009 – Another New Year
3 years ago
Another year has come and gone. 2008 went rather quickly. Overall, it was a decent year. I’ve had better years, but I’ve had a helluva lot worse as well, so I’m not bitching. There were many vicissitudes, as usual, but nothing overly catastrophic.
The greatest thing of 2008 for me was my brother’s release from prison. The worst thing was the loss of Nick’s friendship – I lost an old friend and a newer one, but I reconnected with some very important people from my past. I also made some new friends who have stuck by me through some drama and who have brought a lot of fun to my life.
It has officially been over a year since the last time I self-injured. WOOHOO! GO ME!
