Ramblings on Life

Over the last few months I have learned a lot about myself, some of it was actually positive. I have been off from work for the last couple of months, due to a depression disorder. I don't have any idea when I will be going back, they say when I am cured..but that's like being in a tunnel and looking for the light at the end. The sad part that it has affected a lot of the way I conduct my life, my social skills and my creativity just to name a couple. I am trying to resurrect my creativity, if for no other reason then writing always makes me feel better. Writing has been a sanctuary for me, a cheap form of therapy. It has given me a way to cleanse my soul of all that was bad, and sometimes even the good that happened to me. Some days are better then most, today I figure must be somewhat good..I am here and actually writing. The social part was a shocker to me, I found out that for all of my social skills that I am basically disinterested in socializing with people. That I'd rather be alone and not be around crowds of people, so I guess they're saying is that I would make a great hermit. I didn't use to be like this, and I am interested in finding out where the train went off the track..maybe I will and maybe I won't. I think I will try to write more and keep everybody updated on my progress, who knows this might actually help someone to recognize the pitfalls of oncoming depression..and seek out help. Till then take care and have a great day.

Many of us share your feelings. I live alone, out in rural Indiana, few friends, hence "Solitaire". It's not so bad. Keep writing!!

Tim, you are such a great guy. I'm sure you are getting help and hopefully medication. We are all pulling for you. Keep writing and composing those beautiful poems.

yes,at times we all feel liked this.When I lost my hearing and talking about being depress this I was.
Would not go out and socialize and stay away from crowds.
Just wanted to be alone with Mike and that was it.
But there is always a but.Had to get out of this shell.
Either they accept me or not,that their problems.
So Out I came and return to my workout and tennis.
Still not big on socializing as most of the younger people do not have any interest with old folks.We are boring so they seemed.
Then they are the one who would have more problems as the grow older and the world situation that it is.
I have been through this and no I can say this is what I am.
Gay,Deaf,etc.Why should I worry about this at my age who cares.
Happy now and The Most Happy Fellar.
This probably not making any sense to you,but I think that you get the idea.No.Time slowly get out and try to compose yourself.You will be smart and knowing that you are with the writing and poetry.
Lot of this is going around.Wished you the best and take care.
You will come out of it.I have faith in you.Love ya man.Fredo

'That I'd rather be alone and not be around crowds of people,' For what it is worth--and remember I live around 300 old folks--I have found the older a person gets the more he feels that way--you aren't that old yet but take it into account-I noticed it happening when I was around 50.

Too bad all the lighthouses are automated these days. I don't isolate, but I do believe that lighthouse-keeper would be a really cool job!
