Last night I wrote about a practice of happiness, that I rejected the idea of writing as bland therapy – as a theme paper about my daily struggles. But that isn’t such a bad idea on reevaluation in the morning. What was I getting at? I want to work at something that is hard. Writing about the di...

It’s currently 2:18am and I have Gogol Bordello playing pretty loudly and I seem to be in a much better mood that I was yesterday. This is in part to getting a crapload of sleep today, talking to Blake until 5am yesterday morning, internet friends coming through with birthday presents so I don...

I’m going to be 30 in 9 days and due to that and the fact that I can’t seem to make art right now because of winter depression that apparently no amount of drugs can help, I need STUFF to retain my sanity and feel loved. There. I said it. Truly, I’m going out of my fucking mind thi...

This is not a good time of year for me and like clockwork, I find myself particularly mentally fucked these days. My shrink, whom I saw yesterday, has upped my medications slightly to help compensate, but I’m not optimistic that it’s going to make a difference. My mind is all over the pl...

I got them at Wal*Mart. Went to see my shrink today, she confirmed that Dr. Dickhead is indeed a dickhead, that this is his reputation. She thinks that if I fear him the way I do, I should probably get my family doctor to refer me to someone else. I don't know what I'm going to do. Honestly, I just ...

I decided to publish a "Loose Screws Mental Health News" post even though I said a few weeks back I wouldn't do it anymore. Eh, can I change my mind? "Yes I can." :) According to the Journal of Psychiatric......
