I can still hear!

No this isn't an ad for Verizon wireless.

The voices are always with me and trouble me. I can push em out. I haven't been on top of that lately. I've been doing alot around the house. I finished the bench. The bridge is all assembled, it needs more water sealant. We bought a trellis for the monster rose rush. I have to put that together today. The Camry needs to be inspected. We have to drop it off at 8am. I also told them to change the oil.

The pool was warmer yesterday......68 degrees. Teddy, our monster dog jumped in with me 5 times.

Speaking of Teddy. We took the dogs to a park. As I was parking the car, I saw a dog in front of the car. It was Teddy! I looked at the side window, it was rolled down. He stepped on the button, rolled down the window and jumped out. It was a good thing we put a 15' lead on him. The window lock will be on from now on.

I know what's wrong with me. My shot is due on Wednesday. I always get "funky" a few days before the shot. I'm also worried about what to tell my pdoc about my fear of dying on the ECT table. I know nobody has ever died on the table, I don't wanna be the first.

I've slept more these last three days. It's because I overwork myself. I push too far and too hard. Am I becoming addicted to work? At least I haven't had a major anxiety attack.

My mind flows in circles. I will think of something for a bit then move onto something else. Then I go back to the original thought. It's a circle.

I worry that I repeat too much. I put alot of pressure on myself about what to write. Am I addicted to writing too?

I turned on some music. Music and journaling soothe my soul. If only for a time.

I quit alcohol, street drugs, and cigarettes. I have a great wife, a house with all the trimmings and two cars. I have a good pension. My bills are all paid on time. We have a nice nest egg. Yet I feel poorly. I feel useless despite all that I do. And I do alot.

Life doesn't suck. It just feels like I am not worthy of the things I want and need. I'm gonna tell my pdoc my secret wish. I will not reveal it here. Maybe that will liberate me.

When I reread that last line, my anxiety jumped. Just for a second.

I'm gonna post this. It took me two hours to finish this post.

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,

David

  1. David, I respect your honesty and dedication to your family, your writing and your advocacy work. Don't believe that negative voice that says you are not worthy of all that you have. Instead listen to the voice that encourages others to "Live, love, learn, listen."
