notes from a drifting consciousness

[jinian]

State: I feel normal-sad a lot of the time, but I really seem to be losing track of how long it's been between things happening. It's hard to know what feelings are justified and what's just getting upset over nothing. I don't feel sad about my dad, just sad, and volatile in other ways sometimes, and not enjoying things I should. Currently

Ugh so sorry about the depresso grief.

I am not sure ' the DSM 5 says grief is now depression ' thing is as funny for you as it was when it first came out and ALL of my cynical-about-the-DSM colleagues/practitioners told me? For.me it made a similar response seem a little less scary. Also for me I was surprised that it HURT; hard to put into words what I mean bc it wasn't physical pain but more like it than other emotional pain.

Does it help to know that it really does pass? I hope therapy helps if you decide on it!

Other notes lovely though in my mind the tiny zoo has tiny animules, like pudu and other minature wonders.

The DSM 5 thing is less funny than the first thirty-seven times I heard about it, at least. ;)

I don't want therapy for the grief, I want therapy because I am also dealing with endometriosis and incipient arthritis, contemplating a major change in career trajectory, confused by my relationships, in a new city without much social support, freaked out about medical bills, and failing to do my chores. I can't cope with all that because of the grief.
