Last night hard wind, could hear it thru the trees, whipping around the house. Dogs were restless. I think Red Dog hates the wind as much as I do. She fears it, she hides.
This morning, lots of emotions, tears, loneliness, sad, not understanding why I am feeling this way, not suicidal, no not that. I am way anxious, like a storm is coming, I am afraid.
Wanting to control how I am feeling and yet not able to. I don't like that either. I want to be fixed...I want to be well and stay that way. Maybe there is fear in all of this. I start doubting my ability to stay well, and yes I am talking to God about it.
I lay in bed, listening to that wind. Watching it blow the trees around. And I do not see beauty, I see fear, I see all the disappointments, the failures in my life. Things that I come to terms with everyday, today is just worse.
Today I need the hugs, someone to show how much they care for me. Someone to hold me and comfort me physically. I need the human touch. That's depression...in my world. Today, that's what it is.
I hope to climb out of this bed later on and do some more tiny sculptures. That is my goal. We shall see.
I have been on Face Book today. I found this interesting article, that I want to share with you. I hope it helps.
