A Follow-Up and a Twist

On Tuesday I went to the local SCA fighter practice. It wasn’t the nightmare that I had worked it up to be, and I got a lot of hugs from people that I didn’t expect. It was a good experience, and I’m looking forward to going back next week. There, there’s your follow-up. Now onto… Read More A Follow-Up and a Twist

Following My Bliss

Tonight I have made a decision about my life, and it’s not something that I’ve come to lightly or precipitously. But in order to share that decision with you, I need to tell my story, in part. From my earliest recollections, I was an outcast. The neighborhood kids allowed me to play with them, but… Read More Following My Bliss

A Poem of Perspective

Found this poem on 9gag.com. There’s no attribution, so I can’t pass that along, but this poem really speaks to me today.

Under the Radar

I’ve been quiet lately because I’ve had a house guest. Wanted to check in long enough to at least let my loyal readers know why I’ve seemingly vanished off the face of the earth. It’s a good visit so far and I’m establishing boundaries when I want some alone time, which is a step in… Read More Under the Radar

Sleepwalking Through Psychotherapy

I saw my therapist today. I was drowsy for the whole session – in fact, I came home and took a nap for about an hour – so I don’t remember a lot of details. I remember that we talked how I tend to let others, especially my wife, have their way about anything that… Read More Sleepwalking Through Psychotherapy

July 18, 2015: Three Good Things

1. Had an awesome turnout at our radio show tonight. Lots of interaction in both the IRC channel and Paragon Chat, and more listeners than we’ve ever had since we moved to this time slot. 2. For the second day in a row, managed to check off everything on my checklist. Go me. 3. Finally… Read More July 18, 2015: Three Good Things

Emotional Color Blindness

Yesterday in my Three Good Things post, I touched on an analogy I had worked out about depression, and mentioned that I’d be discussing it more in depth here. The analogy compared depression to color blindness. From what I understand, those who suffer from color blindness can see everything, but their perception of the true… Read More Emotional Color Blindness

July 17, 2015: Three Good Things

Been a while since I’ve done one of these. I’ve been running out of spoons late at night and I just can’t be bothered to expend the energy to come up with three things about the day that were good. Today has been a total wash, moodwise, but I’m going to force myself to get… Read More July 17, 2015: Three Good Things

One Small Step for a Man …

… one giant leap for his mental health. In the SCA, I’ve taken on the position of Event Support Services Coordinator for the region I live in (Texas and Oklahoma). This is a new position that I’m developing from the ground up, with practically everything involved with it a new function of our organization. While… Read More One Small Step for a Man …
