Haven't heard from Scott for a while. Are you okay, around? Just want to check that you are alive and at-least-semi-well.

That is an extraordinarily sweet thing for you to do.
I am alive and not feeling terrible. I'll take that for now. I explained to my doctor that I consider the reductions in my symptoms resulting from treatment to be little more than palliative. I impressed upon him that we should both be looking for something much closer to remission.
I haven't been motivated to participate on Psycho-Babble lately. I'm not sure why. Burn-out perhaps? It is difficult to ascertain whether my lack of motivation is burn-out or the effects of depressive illness.
Anyway, I hope your difficult journey brings you to a place that is uniquely yours and where you may find joy and fulfillment. I'm looking for a similar outcome for myself, although my journey will be uniquely mine. I wish that I could say that I were on the right path. I may not be, but I plan on continuing to place one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward.
Thanks for your concern.
- Scott

Could it be that babble now seems at times to be rather boring not like the times in the past when so many knew each other? Phillipa

I don't think that my lack of engagement is necessarily due to boredom. I think that it is more the result of my not having enough motivation to invest my limited mental energy to labor through reading and writing. I don't completely understand the reasons for why my level of interest has ebbed. For now, I pretty much look only for things that relate directly to my particular condition. One day at a time. I am certainly motivated to see Psycho-Babble remain a viable community, despite my temporary reduction in posting activity.

Sorry life is such a struggle still. Your hope and persistence are inspiring.
I'm managing amazingly well. Have gone from - how am I going to survive this - to - where can I buy flatware at a reasonable price?
I am moving in a bit over a week and my daughter is visiting for two days. So she and I will unpack, figure out where to put what. I'm kind of excited, actually.
