My Uncomfortable Mind

     It has been awhile since I have written.  Life is going relatively well.   Part of me, is very happy, that warm weather and sunshine, may finally be approaching New England.  But the other part of me, remembers the summers of past, and how I felt.  Summer is…

     I started writing this blog, to let other people with Schizoaffective Disorder, and/ or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, know that they are not alone.  I also wanted others, to get an insight into the mind of a seriously mentally ill person, and realize, that people like me, are completely…

     It is late at night, as I write this blog, and the sounds of The Rolling Stones, on my stereo, are attempting to drown out, the sounds of the rain, thunder and lightening, outside of my open window.  It’s a little frightening, as the lightening has struck close…

     I am feeling worn-out, these days.  This peri-menopause thing, has destroyed my appetite and my ability to sleep.  I am basically struggling to get through the days.  I feel like I could crash and burn, at any time now.      I did call my psychiatrist, yesterday, and…

     One week ago, on a cold, rainy, windy Friday, I went to my doctor’s appointment, by public transportation, only to be told that my appointment was for the following Friday.  I told them that I was very upset because they gave me inaccurate information.  So, they agreed to…
