There are a lot of things happening in life that is making it all so much worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have still been writing, but it&#8217;s hard to cope with everything I have been covering. It brings up a lot of memories and feelings. It was a very hard time to go through, and it isn&#8217;t easy writing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lately, I haven&#8217;t wanted anything to do with anyone. I feel like everyone has ulterior motives for wanting to be around. I feel like no one really cares about me, and I don&#8217;t matter at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can honestly see why people give up. It would be easy to quit anything right now, even life. Every little setback feels like another mountain I have to move just to go on. I am having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and I am again feeling so alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would give anything not to have the mental health problems I have, so I could go to work and be like everyone else. Unfortunately, that&#8217;s not going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t know what to do about some of the things I went through these last few years. I feel like I should be one of the people who speak up. Some of this wasn&#8217;t right. I don&#8217;t want to think that anyone else will ever go through some of what I endured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know I am being vague, but I am trying not to get into too many details that are going to be covered in the book. I just wanted to give you an update on what&#8217;s going on with me lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am trying as hard as I can, but I don&#8217;t feel like I have a lot of support during a time when I need it.  Last year, when I wasn&#8217;t doing too poorly, I had all the support in the world. It seems to be gone now. Everyone did what they were supposed to do, and now that&#8217;s over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like therapy. I went to that for the last year and sat there every week, with nothing to say and nothing to work on. There really wasn&#8217;t any reason for me to be there at that time. It lasted for a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, I am down to once a month. I was supposed to be finished with this, but I have to keep going because I am seeing the psychiatrist for my medications there. Because of that, I am required to continue with therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I haven&#8217;t had an appointment in a while. I needed to cancel the last one because I couldn&#8217;t get telehealth set up. It was going to snow, and they wanted everyone to be seen using telehealth. I never got the link to set it up, so I had to cancel the appointment. I left a message, but my therapist never called me back to reschedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here I sit, not doing so well. This would be a good time to have me in for an appointment. My record shows how I have been doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t want to call them, but I guess I will have to. I am not happy with the services I have been receiving there anyway, where therapy is concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enough about that. I hardly come out of the house, and this has been really hard on me. This started right after Thanksgiving, and it&#8217;s been going on ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am not in the position to hold a job right now. I can&#8217;t even take a shower. I can&#8217;t motivate at all, and all I ever do is lay in bed, dissociated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t know how to make myself feel better. I used to go to the mountains to ride around and take pictures, but I have no car and no license. I&#8217;m stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now, without a job, I am really stuck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once again, mental illness has destroyed everything I was working towards. I was doing so well, and I really didn&#8217;t need this again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have been thinking a lot about advocacy. I think I would like to get into that in the future. The near future. I would like to talk more about what happened in my life and my experiences along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your interest. Take care!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sincerely, R.
