1. Wonderful! I can SO relate to the smallest things seeming virtually impossible-

Long periods of JUST making it out to buy cigarettes, booze and
the just the essentials, returning home to bed, the television and computer.
Not answering the phone, being embarrassed to call people back after LONG periods
of recluse- I mean how do you explain such things to people who have never been there?

This winter has been the worst in memory- I've always had dark periods when the
clocks change and it is dark earlier than during the "light months" as I call them.

Fortunately, I've got a med regime that is working for me at the moment-
Everyday is a struggle, but at least now I CAN get out to do a few things-
take a shower and heck, even put on a little lipstick.
BIG stuff for me.

Thanks- your writing is wonderful and I hope you continue to share more.
It really is cathartic.
