I would like to first, that I am frustrated at the speed of connection at this site. Often it feels like dial-up. Don't seem to have this problem anywhere else.......

My depression is seemingly lifting. Been steadily suffering for two weeks. Only one or maybe two in my family understands and cares that I have a lifelong illness.The rest have no problem setting my despair in motion. Though my brother says he doesn't understand mental issues, I am suspicious that he purposely attempts to get me feeling bad knowing I will sink further into depression. He is a drunk so I don't know what he is thinking and feeling other than jealousy.It seems my father lives on in him.
I would hardly get out of these depressions as of late if it were not for my wife.I would most likely be heavily drinking also. She is such a blessing to my life. I feel I don't deserve such an extraordinary woman. Fate can be so incredibly mysterious. I am discounting myself again but I feel so terrible about myself after these episodes.

Time to regain my mental strength once again.

Alcoholism runs in families

and I'm convinced there's a strong correlation between sufferers of alcoholism and sufferers of social anxiety who self-medicate with alcohol

your family may understand more than they realize or want to admit

I am convinced too that alcohol and social inabilities go hand in hand propelling ones self to a life wrecked by havoc.

I seem to be slowly dragging my family kicking and screaming into an understanding of how dysfunctional we were and are. In differing depths of opinion everyone does realize our dysfunction better. However, to this day I am still the no good black sheep that they like to place the dysfunction on.

Okay.A little tired,I tried going bed early last night but I didn't get to sleep till about 5 this morning.Still proud of myself though,dragged myself up town to the library and paid a few bills.

Going to try and go up town again tomorrow for a haircut and go to the gym.It is helping staying off here too.

There are two reasons why this happens. One is "mob mentality" which basically means that anyone who appears different will be treated that way in order to separate the "in crowd" from the "outsiders". The second reason being why people want to be in the "in crowd". Peer pressure. Acting like a child is more important than being an adult, because being an adult is something people in general find hard to do. So to fit in you behave like the rest of the herd do.

Stiff as the proverbial board and sore in the hip. Just did a 10km on the cycle path. Still not 100%
