A Little Update
Hey all!
I am so sorry about not posting more lately.
Well, let's see, where to begin? :)
Well, I have started therapy. Actually Tuesday was my second meeting.
I'm not exactly sure what the process is. I assumed (yes, yes, I know) that after the initial appointment that they'd ship me off to a couple of group therapy settings, but so far it's been one on one, which I actually prefer. It's an interesting process at the moment. I kinda feel like I should have more specifics to provide, but without knowing exactly why things happen I have no way of attaching a specific event in my life to the whole depression thing. I think she understands that it's just a matter of EVERYTHING surfacing, ya know? That it's not one specific event.
So she's got me started on this art therapy/journaling project (not this journal. An offline one). I figured I'd rock at it, but I'm kinda struggling. I keep over complicating the exercises, and feeling a bit self-conscious. When it comes to digital art stuff I'm solid, but freehand drawing? Drawing what I feel? I'm having a hard time illustrating feelings without turning it into really generic stuff. I suppose it shouldn't matter, but that doesn't feel like anything I would normally do. I guess it'll just take a while to get used to the flow of it all.
Anyhoo...
In a day or two I'll have new pictures to post as well.
After mom got her hair done we discussed getting mine done. I told her I didn't wanna go to get it done because I can't justify paying someone to cut my hair when all I really want is a trim (my hair has been all one length for years, and it works for me... it's comfortable). She's been trimming my hair for years, so I just had her do it. Unfortunately, she got a little scissor crazy. Well, I shouldn't say unfortunately because I actually kinda like how it turned out, but it's short! Eek. Too short for a ponytail. Then I dyed it burgandy, but the dye I used actually came out more black cherry, so it's bright/dark and short! ha ha ha
Seriously though, I think it looks better. I got into such a rut with my hair. I constantly had it back in a ponytail and/or ballcap (when I went to run errands or something). It's now too short to wear a ponytail without looking like I have some fuzzy growth on the back of my head! ha ha ha
Ok, well that's it for now...
I am looking into pdf creation for the ebook on the RD Hays site.
I'll write more later.
Ciao 4 now...
