Correspondence

Recovery from depression has changed how I relate to people.

The unknown

Getting better at living with uncertainty.

Discomfort

Therapy is tiring, but it also teaches me how to rest.

Regulate

I seem very eager to judge myself for how and what I feel. What’s up with that?

Dungeons and dragons

What the Legend of Zelda illustrates about difficult journeys. We have tools and we are not alone.

A dish best not served

Depression and anger often go hand in hand.

Leftovers

Letting go of anything, even emotional baggage, is difficult. It is also freeing.

Through a mirror darkly

Dr. Ruth J. Simmons, noted leader in higher education and French literature scholar, gave an excellent talk at Rice University yesterday. It’s got me thinking about the “in camera” inspection I’m doing of myself.

What now?

The conference gave me something to work towards and something to look forward to. It also gave me the perfect distraction.
