Yes, I've been having problems again, and of course I went into denial and tried to handle it myself - badly. At least this timeI didn't make Birdie suffer for years first.
I'm at the beginning of my third life. Parker and Kelsey should benefit from it.

But at least you're writing again -- every little bit helps. Use this blog to purge those doubts and bad feelings. I sometimes think about starting an anonymous blog so I can really rant, but then again, I have my journal (real paper!) so it tends to take the brunt of it. I find that so useful.
I can come here, too, because my blog doesn't link here.
Depression is hard and the tendency to self-medicate is not productive. Spill your guts in your writing and things will get better.
Thanks, Kate. It helps a lot to have friends who understand. Birdie has been a big help this time as well. She has finally taken in and understood that, even if she doesn't intend to do it, even if she doesn't believe she does it, she needs to stop correcting me all the time. I literally CAN'T take it anymore and let her know that last Wednesday.
There's always room for change in a relationship. If you're lucky, it's a lifetime learning process. As Waugh said, "to know and love one other human being is the root of all wisdom." Let us be wise.
