The Bloody Doors Off

I say this because I am 99.99999% certain that today is the 8^th anniversary of my breakdown.

Just consulted the calendar. It was today.

Tuesday, September 24, 2013.

And. I’m not so out of joint about it this year.

It only hit me as hard as it did because I’d initially thought it was next month, and swallowed hard when I caught the mistake.

That’s.

That’s kinda huge.

I mean.

Life isn’t perfect. I’m not pulling in a decent income. Resources get strained. You look for ways to cut expenses. That puts significant stress on us all. And given the date, well, I was afraid I was gonna spiral.

Nope. Not gonna happen.

I’m not saying the age of panic attacks and depressive episodes is over.

But I managed to deal with this particular anniversary.
