i ponder whether or not i should have settled down and had a husband and a family. but when i go through these melancholy patches, and have sooo much anxiety over what my logical mind sees is really nothing too major, but my emotional mind is completely overtaken, and i write in terribly composed run-on [...]

it seems like this place has gotten a little melodramatic as of late and i guess i’m going to decide to be okay with that. normally in life i would force myself to shift gears and sing and dance and fight a way to be entertaining. but, i feel like i am always, “on.” i [...]

One word or two for that phenomena? I have such a headache now. I know he didn’t do it on purpose, and it wasn’t a misjudgement on our (the Special Ed Para Professionals whose care he was in) part, it’s just comes with the territory. You think you made some progress in your work, and [...]
