Gone, gone, gone

Today has been a hard day, perhaps because yesterday was hard. I had a mini meltdown, due to various factors, and woke up this morning five minutes before I had to leave. That's always disconcerting. I fled out of the house, totally confused and disoriented, feeling depressed and addled. I spent half an hour in a dark room today in between meetings, just sitting with my head in my hands. I thought it might bring clarity, but I think some days are just sad days, and that's that. You just have to get through them, and know that tomorrow won't be as sad. I'm going to walk home from work, which will maybe help my mood, and then get into bed and read. The sooner the day ends, the better because -- to quote Scarlett O'Hara -- "tomorrow is another day!"

Liz,
Hang in there. You have a lot of friends on line and in real life that care.

I appreciate all that you share on your blog so that we know we are not alone in our struggles in being ourselves.

When I have days like that, sometimes I just call in sick to work. (Maybe that's part of the reason that employment has been kind of hard to come by lately.) Long walks have always helped me deal with mood problems, too. Long walks and, when I was younger, long bicycle rides. They seem to allow a glimpse into a different reality, and to set the imagination free.

I forgot to say in previous comment - Hope you feel better tomorrow.

I am having a hard day too. Kind of nice to know I am not alone although I'm sorry your day is sucking. I also hope to be in bed reading soon. xoxo

Have you heard of the "Welcome Back Awards"? If I knew you personally, I'd nominate you for the "Destigmatization Award," but beings that I don't I thought I'd tell you about it so you can nominate yourself. I believe you have done A LOT in this area.
