Entropy

[zander_nao]

I don't like life's tendency, or at least my life's tendency to work in diminishing spirals... I mean it wasn't always the case. Things got better and better from middle school to high school and through college, but... The real soul healing moments get spaced further and further out and they have to be worked for so much harder. I don't know what

Well, first I will commiserate and say it is that time of year for seasonal depression (or higher rates of depression in general), and I feel ya there. The holiday season is rough, especially in retail, but I know this is more of a general life dissatisfaction post. I'm struggling through it too.

But I also have to leave some encouragement here! You're an amazing person and I think there are great things out there for you. Until then, if we don't know what the "point" is, we can say it's just that old chestnut of trying to do things that make you happy in life. You've always been great at seeking out new things to enrich yourself and your experiences, whether it be food, shows, music, or hobbies. Just keep at it as best you can, my friend.

Having been able to get my brain rebalanced with some sleep, I feel half way better. Work was fairly reassuring, though in a strange way. It's so weird to have all these people that know the situation is really imbalanced and difficult, but then to feel that communal strength to push on and that, for the most part, everyone understands and is on the same team. It's just the exceptions that are depressing.

Big Hero Six continues to make me smile days after seeing it.

We shall persevere!

Ugh.... Don't even get me started. It's the every day Hum-Drum of life. I thought I was going through a mid life crisis and I turned 30! What the hell I hope I have longer then 60 years of life. I need to make my mark on the world. I was and still am having a rough time with life. I found out that I was borderline type 2 diabetic but I have strived hard the last 90 days to change that. My A1C which is your blood glucose level was a 8.3, That's high. I have since then taken a look at multiple ethnic groups that have a low low level of Diabetes in their community and have emulated that with diet and exercise. I have since then dropped my A1C to a 5.4 my doctor was really impressed that I did it with out medication (Met Formin). I may be suffering from depression which could be true. (I am a current case study for my doctors protege student and the subject of her final thesis). The trade off being that I don't have to pay her for my pills or visits. (Yay small town!) I have Days where I spiral out of control. My thyroid is horribly

I followed you perfectly, though I'm sorry you're having such problems. I'm really proud of you that you were able to change your A1C so much! That really is impressive. The living dangerously worries me, but I can understand it as well.

I think you've always been in a lot of different places at once, that's probably what made you stand out so much to me when we were younger.

My thoughts are with you on what you're going through.
