I've been doing really poorly lately, to the point where I withdrew from the course I was taking, was not working, and my Mom was no longer willing to let me stay in the condo we co-own since I wasn't doing necessary housework. When I get depressed, I get really low and stop functioning. When this happens, I have, in the past, spent half a year with my Dad. I improve, remain stable for a few months and return to my condo. I then start to decline, usually within a month, sometimes two. Sometimes I end up in the hospital and sometimes my parents intervene and then I return to my Dad's place.
I've decided that maybe I'm just not the type of person who can live alone. I've talked to my parents, and my Dad and Step-Mom are okay with me living with them on a more permanent basis. My Mom would like me to get all of my stuff out of the condo by mid-August, possibly excluding furnishings, and she would then rent it out to students. It feels like a bit of a failure to give up living on my own, but it also feels kinda right, and I would still be able to get myself a dog as an emotional support animal. I'm just starting to come out of this depression. I was supposed to be off work for 2 months, but I might make it 1 month, then 1 month working one day a week, and 2 months working 2 days a week. My pdoc doesn't think I should work full-time. I'm also planning on going to Tae kwon do 2+ days/week to get some exercise. I'm going to get my craft supplies out and do some quilting, cross-stitch and card making. I may or may not tackle learning the guitar. I guess it's a good thing I have plans for the future. __________________ It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations.
