Wolf and I have been in couples therapy for a couple of years now. He wanted us to go to help us, primarily and specifically, to improve our communication skills. I finally agreed and we set it up. The therapist assigned to us is phenomenal. I assure you my decision is NO reflection upon her,Continue reading “I left couples therapy. Here’s why.”

My 30 Day Challenge, Day 2
Off to a good start, I am. What to write about, today? I have consistently read and heard – Just write. It is the practice and the habit of writing one really is seeking. True, I guess. So I will write about what I have been thinking about. Last night, I went to see aContinue reading “My 30 Day Challenge, Day 2”
On the road, wandering, again.
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”
Stagnation, Stagnant and Me
Dear Diary, Clearly today is not my best mood. The weather is amazingly beautiful today. (I admit, given the number of storms we have had recently, this does NOT take require a lot.

As I write this, we are at the tail end of a storm which graced us for almost 48 hours. Again. Yet myContinue reading “Cabin Fever when one lacks housing”
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. I could be a disenchanted participant. What good what that really do? Truthfully, though, I am a little. Jaded as well. Welcome to a healthy amount of numbing oneself toContinue reading “Disenfranchised”
Some things do not change
Even during a national emergency, in a global pandemic and I, for one, find a funny comfort in that. Albeit, that funny comfort pertains to a demoralizing and frustratingly humiliating appointment, that is, simply, par for the course when applying for SSDI or SSI. Seeing a Social Security Administration doctor A little while ago, Wolf’sContinue reading “Some things do not change”
We struggle with … repetitiveness
Each for different reasons. Likely, no shock there. For Wolf, it is a trigger. How is it a trigger? It reminds Wolf of his father’s relentless questioning every time he left. For years. That relentlessness can wear on a person. It did upon Wolf. As for me, it became so repetitive for me to repeatContinue reading “We struggle with … repetitiveness”
