It’s The Little Things…

(Author’s note: I’m working on a post about a major breakthrough in dealing with my own physical pain, but it is taking a longer time to write than expected. It concerns new theories about chronic low-level inflammation as the root cause of numerous disorders, conditions and diseases.

But I need to write today, anything, just to keep my face in the sun so to speak. If you deal with depression of any kind you’ll probably understand that sentence, and facing the sun.)

The little things that keep me going. Little wonders in life that I can grasp for a moment and seem to remember forever.

The Loss of a Child: The Start of a Journey with PTSD and Gender Dysphoria

(Author’s note: I’m re-posting this essay as it is the pivotal point in my life. It cost me my life. What followed after this event was constant turmoil, and with the “help” of others (meaning just the opposite of course) I managed to screw up my life totally. I take that back, this one event screwed up my life forever.

I need to embrace the fact that I was not to blame, and that my thought process was always going to be influenced by what happened.

I’ve done my best and all in all there have been some very good times. Way too many bad.

I am letting this go.)

If someone were to call this minute and ask what I was up to, I’d have to bluntly say “I’m writing about being raped when I was 7.”

There that helped, it’s said and done. You don’t need to read on, but some of these details led to a lot of the problems…

When Pain Prevails (Part 17 in the Whiner Series)

I’m kidding about the “Whiner Series”. Kinda sorta.

When pain prevails, there’s no way to focus on anything as your mind is overwhelmed, or maybe I should say it’s more like being run over. Road kill. “Dead skunk in the middle of the road.” Will have to Google that lyric one day to give the proper credit. Not today, which means never.

There’s nothing else you can think about when pain takes over. Simple neurons that course through your body, constantly fire a single message to the brain saying “hey dummy, something’s badly damaged here that needs immediate attention.”

Like I need the reminder.
