The Moratorium on Housing is Unfair
The eviction moratorium in New York, although much needed for some, is being misused by many. Again, not everyone. There is a population being left out and I am one of them. Who are we? We are the people who are being denied housing because I need housing assistance. Supportive housing, nonetheless!!! The article IContinue reading “The Moratorium on Housing is Unfair”

Disenfranchised
Today’s takeaway from psychotherapy. We covered skills and coping as well. Perhaps, when recognizing one’s own disenfranchisement, this is healthy, even normal. I suppose, Diary.

Feelings of …
Shame. Embarrassment. Humiliation. Yes, these ugly and uncomfortable emotions. I have twenty-five plus years living with these emotions or feelings. They suck! Truly, I mean that. I personally have lived with these feelings for decades. It is odd to be aware of them yet not Consumed by them. Where I have been consumed is inContinue reading “Feelings of …”
November 2020
The month was interesting, enlightening and, I daresay, informative. I could not have expected it. Our treatment team did. They pointed it out as one of our strengths. An odd one, if I may say.
