Object: Nothing Important
Not much done yesterday, a bit on Robin Hood but not enough really. Have to
grade my students' papers to day and study for a Latin test. Well, that is the
plan. But Maria needs to get out so we will try to get the chair on the bus
(always a hassle) and perhaps see a film, Cheaper by the Dozen.
Still have not said yes to coffee date with the fellow student for tomorrow . .
.. need to do that, just scared actually. I'd rather face a room of lions
(literally) than a human being.
It is these little daily things, done well, that seem to offer health to one.
But by nature I am so intense and so driven to seek violent passion in living
that I find it quite difficult to find true satisfaction in these daily things
.. . . a curse perhaps.

It is these little daily things, done well, that seem to offer health to

one.
We get well by the amount of discomfort (of our symptoms) we are
willing to bear. Seeing someone for coffee is a triviality compared to our
mental health, and our mental health has to be our supreme goal. We do
things to get well, not wait to get well to do things.

But by nature I am so intense and so driven to seek violent passion in

living

that I find it quite difficult to find true satisfaction in these daily

things

. . . a curse perhaps.

Nervous patients look for exitement in devious ways. We isolate and
remove ourselves from so much of daily life that when we have an emotional
outburst (temper) life seems once again to have regained its vigor, thought
this is only temporary and we pay the price in more symptoms.
These are some of the insights I have learned and that have helped me so
much. Hope they help you too. :)

Nodding vigorously.

Yes, boy do I know this condition.

Do we ever do enough for our satisfaction? Depression makes me think I
should do even more than I did while well, but stops me from doing half
as much.

Have to
grade my students' papers to day and study for a Latin test. Well, that is the
plan. But Maria needs to get out so we will try to get the chair on the bus
(always a hassle) and perhaps see a film, Cheaper by the Dozen.

How collapsible is the chair? You said you could manage taxis - in Leeds
they're usually ordinary cars, not the special taxi-cabs, designed to
fit a chair in without collapsing it.

Still have not said yes to coffee date with the fellow student for tomorrow . .

I hope you can make it. It'll be a good omen for meeting me.

Can you channel the passion into energy? That's something we never seem
to have enough of. Maybe write something full of violent passion, in
Latin? How's your Catullus? ;)

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

I know part of it is depression speaking, but damn I need to work more quickly.
I am slow witted.

Ex does not like cabs because too expensive, so usually have to deal with bus.
I manage with help. If I take cab can do alone for chair folds.

<smile> true. I am very nervous about both.

Yeek. Not ready to write in Latin, but actually I do tend to approach the
writing as you suggest even though it is legal history which sounds dry. But I
guess I do more cultural history through the lens of medieval law -- and
violent and passionate it was. I pick neat subjects like hanging and death to
keep my morbid drives fueled. :)
