I just picked up a book, maybe it picked me up I’m not sure. It’s called “The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life”, written by Julia Cameron. I came across it in the book store while looking through the Psychology section for another book, read a few passages within it …
I had another session with Gloria tonight (my counselor) and the conversation ranged from parental parenting, as in dealing with my Dad, to latent feelings of grief and loss. We even threw a little bit of emotional support regarding crying and “triggers” when it comes to loss, and the strong emotions that can come forward …
I’m recognizing my impatience in a number of circumstances lately and I need to determine if it is the particular circumstances and/or person involved, or is it me over-reacting to the situation? I will need to do some real soul searching. Mostly this seems to occur with my wife, and I certainly don’t want to …
Here I go again, when reading a book or article and some passage or concept strikes my fancy and my mind wanders, and wonders, and I feel the need to get down some thoughts. And need is not too strong a word. I almost cannot stand it and find it very difficult to focus on …
Seems like procrastination and Giftedness have some overlapping characteristics. One trait that is common would be taking on too many, or too big, a project or goal.

Morning has come and the sun is shining. The weather is warm but there is a cool breeze drifting through the open patio door, teasing my feet and legs. As I blog I try to think of what I may do today, perhaps go a get a new bike for Ma, I’d like us to …
I don’t know if this is really happening or am I just suffering from some form of persecution complex, an avoidance sensitivity of sorts. It seems when I pass certain others in the hall at work that there is all of a sudden this discomfort in the air, a chill, people begin stammering and looking …
Totally unrelated to my “condition” but….. My back/legs are exhibiting signs that they may revolt on me. Previous visits to both an RMT and physio have led me to think the issue may be in my back, specifically in the L2L3 region where the nerves exit my spine. I’m not in as much discomfort as …
The Blog name/description is new but the content will remain the same. When I began the exercise of writing this blog I thought I would be unique and name it “My Journey through Depression”, thinking I would be a trendsetter. Perhaps I should have googled the description beforehand as there are only about 5 million …
While reading on this topic I came across a comment from this section says “depression has been called a thinking disease” meaning our thoughts, particularly negative, can increase or move us into depressive tendencies. This made me think of the role of Giftedness in the equation. More food for thought. – Posted using BlogPress
