Things worth crying about
Jan. 20th, 2012 10:20 amI've got an appointment with the doctor this afternoon to remove some abnormal (non-cancerous!) growths on the left side of my noggin, and I promised my mother I'd tell the doc about my depression, which has clearly passed its apex yesterday, when I made some wrong moves at work, which have all been forgiven by everyone but myself. Thing is, mom wants me to see a psychotherapist, and I've had some bad experiences with one and hence do not really trust them anymore, nor do I feel well about airing my heart to total strangers, which is totally why I do it to you guys, sorry about that. XD It IS the reason why I made an LJ in the first place, and I've found it to have a reasonable therapeutic effect. Sometimes the problems just... rise above my head. Some personal, some national, some worldwide. A list of recent notable things I worry about:
( That's an enormous amount of text. No wonder I can't take it right now! )
As this next one is completely new, I'll keep this one outside of the cut. It's important to me.
General intolerance, religious or no
The obvious extremists (of whichever religion *coughcrusadescough*) aside, sometimes things that just piss me right the fuck off happen. Like where people are all one big happy community until someone stands up for her constitutional rights, but they don't conform to the majority anyway. Granted, this is a religion example, but the banner might just as well have said "Gays go home" or "Women should stay in the kitchen", where the majority were gaybashers or masculists. The effect would be the same, that this poor girl is now exposed to threats and extreme points of view. It's inspiring to see her keep being strong.
For clarity's sake, there are things that counter these bad moods, among others: Audition (escape into gaming), my friends (LJ or no) and people like @JessicaAhlquist, who show me that there's still people worth my attention.
