My Uncomfortable Mind

     I felt completely miserable for a few weeks after quitting my job.  My sleep cycle was wrecked.  I never wanted to eat.  I was crying a lot.   I felt hostile towards my husband.  I couldn’t really help my friends that were in need of help.  I was…

     I had thought that after I resigned from my job I would feel great relief.  I was dead wrong.  I am greatly suffering inside my soul, instead.      This past week. I had a few days where I slept all day and all night.  And then, I…

     As you may have read, in the last blog entry, I resigned from my job.  I was working, as a Meat Clerk, at a supermarket.  I had been there for 5 1/2 years and always felt secure in my job, until about 10 weeks ago.      No,…

     I have been out of work since April 4, and it is now May 16.  Oh my Lord, why is this recovery so slow?  When will I be back in remission again?      I have a few things to write about, but my mind is still not…

    This is the beginning of my second week, at home, since being discharged from the hospital.  I had spent 5 days on the psychiatric ward.  Like most patients, I have needed this time at home, to become well again.  There is a fair amount of aftercare needed by…

     I have been out of a hospital’s Psychiatric Ward, for a week, now.  I am doing fair. I am smiling, on the outside, and trying to enjoy the company of friends, but I’ve also been in denial, of what has been going on in my head.  I am…
