Deep emotional turmoil,
or,
Fuck I am so confused
Fuck I am so confused about so much. I am so confused about
how Steven could simply not show up for work for three days as if there
won't be consequences-not having income, not having insurance, having
to pay back the money he received for tuition reimbursement, etc.
I'm just worrying myself sick imagining him engaged in some deep
emotional turmoil but being too proud to talk about it. Fuck, see
a doctor and get some pills.
This guy David came into the bank today, whom I know both as a customer
there and as a member of the YMCA. He recently finished whatever
is needed to become a certified massage therapist, and of course, he
offered me a free massage. I wasn't terribly excited about the prospect
of having a man's hands put all over me in such a context, but I really
don't care at this point. I need a massage. He came in to
the bank today, and as he was filling out his deposit slip, I went out
next to him and told him to give me a little something of the region of
my shoulders and neck. He did, and the amount of pain I felt
tells me that I really need a full massage. So, I am going to see
him on Thursday for that reason.
Someone from WSU called me today to tell me that they're still waiting
on my third letter of recommendation-the one coming from my Arabic
instructor at OCC whom I've been asking about it since like
November. I guess I'll have to call and harass him until he does
it.
I went back to Purgatory for dinner yesterday. I asked the elder
of my sists what she had meant when she said my younger sist was like
clinically depressed. It's something I've seen coming since she
was a child, and the symptoms just keep becoming more and more evident
the older she gets. I feel like I should talk to her about it,
but there are two major complications: 1) My family does not speak to
one another about anything aside from the most mundane topics 2) who in
the fuck am I to counsel anyone on how to deal with depression? I
haven't exactly done a great job with it myself. When a friend of
mines called me a month or two ago feeling suicidal (or so he said; I
doubt that he actually got to that point) I of course couldn't give him
any assurance that life will get any better, bla bla bla, because I
possess a disorder that tells me that it won't.
My broth called me today saying that he needs a loan. If he got
one through my bank, the interest rate would be 13.5%. I could of
course loan him the money he needs myself, but then I would have very
little of my savings left for myself, and I have no idea how long it
would take to get that money back. I never know when I might need
my savings; I might need to bail Mathew out of jail at any given moment
or have to be able to support myself if I outright quit my job until I
find another one. Bah.
the amistad,
steve,
