Breath in the Air
I'm here. Yes, I've survived...and continue to. I'm not unlike a lot of people. I get down, some days - real down. But, I think a majority of people get that way sometimes. Yet, the sun does come up, and I am still breathing, fighting.I often have wondered if I have some sort of clinical depression. But, I seem to think that in life, it's the natural ebb and flow of emotions. Most days, I'm not that down..and I'm hardly ever that up. I'm pretty even keel. But, pile a birthday, onto some family issue, onto a Ross incident, onto a bad day at work and I'm 6 feet from the edge.
Why do I write about it? Because..because I want everyone to know that being sad..being depressed is normal. That I know others out there feel the same way some days..but, we fight..we get passed it - it is possible to get over it. I appreciate all your thoughts and comments.
Today I move forward but, some days, I think maybe 6 feet ain't so far down.

I get that depression knowing that
I cannot have what I want. That is
the love of a man. I think that is
the same prob that you have. I try
to keep my balance, it just is so
f------ hard and I don't get any
kind of sex. Period. Just staying
alive. Nothing but JO.
Best to get outside yourself to the extent possible and help someone else, or at least pick up the trash on your local streets; something like that.
Probably not many of us are totally satisfied with our lives, but, to quote Mary Poppins, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever."
Do what you normally do, find a young guy to hookup with, to distract you for a moment. That usually cheers you up.
Yup, we all have our ups and downs and I don't think any of us are truly satisfied with our lives; there's always something left that needs attention.
We've all met people who are perpetually happy, and they seem as if they've got life by the balls--everything is perfect. They usually are the ones to give us advice about being happy. Personally, they make me want to puke…
But it's also interesting to see what happens to those exact same people when things start to go wrong. They come unglued and impossible to be around.
