toasted. What kind of jam?

I've had depression and anxiety all of my life. I've been diagnosed as a depressive, Post-traumatic stress disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, and most recently, Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The last diagnosis makes the most sense of them all. The severity of your symptoms worries me. I hope you can find help and direction, even someplace where medication is optional, or where they are more willing to work with you until you find something that works, preferably, if meds are mandatory, utilizing a variety of other techniques (like your mental focusing and other meditation, diet, exercise, and development of a strong support network that has knowledge and empathy for your situation). I don't know of anything in the Toledo area, but you might want to check out what services are available connected to a university, especially one with a good medical program. I, myself, used Wayne State University's Psychology Clinic. I received a full psychological evaluation for $100, out-patient and attend weekly counseling sessions at a sliding scale fee based upon income. I don't know if they can help you, but maybe they can give you some numbers of possible resources in your area. (313) 577-2840. Good luck! Best wishes, and please keep talking to us. There is a way out of every abyss.

Sorry, no. You should come up to Detroit.

Oh, and you too, gorgeousness.

As in finally comprehend? That's a lot to ask for. As in finally come to an end? Most certainly. At the nadir, is every which way up?

Always, my ex, Gen:

synedoche (I'll let my one word stand in for all the other words)

um, um, no comment. what's yours?

Green. But I can't wear it at my job. What's your favorite nine letter word?

If'n I has a proper pair of gloves to save me from the blisters. Got something needs burying?

Maybe you can find someone who wants an "arrangement", at least for the time being, one that fits her schedule, too. And then, maybe when your life slows down, it could be something more. I'm crossing my fingers for you.

That makes sense. I wish you the best in all your endeavors. You have to follow your heart, and if it's telling you career is the way to go, I can respect that.

Balance is better. But, if you get rich in a hurry, you could have the best mid-life crisis ever.

You have honorary membership already. But when you get back, we'll have to renew.

Yeah, I smoke too much to run. But once upon a time, I'd walk 12 miles a day. I should like to do half of that now. Damn conveniences of cars. Damn cold, brrr. But I would consider just walking one mile each day. That's a sane goal, I think.

Yay! {Do you wanna be a member? Do you wanna be a member?} special cuddles to whomever can name the cartoon that's from.

Do you want to join my club of unforgivable teases? I am having loads of fun starting things I won't finish.

Exactly. And?

Well, that's the fish eggs. Thought you'd never tried (from earlier post). I love 'em, too.

You should try the roe. It's surprisingly good.

Because the rest is too complicated to have so simple a solution. When does?
