Hello and Welcome

This is my blog,... where I will, yeah, write about all the stuff that floats between my left ear and the right. Sometimes gets tagled up in the optic nerves and swings round the baser brain functions.

In short, all the crap I think about, wonder about, like, dislike, read, write, and generally just let verment between the neurons...

In this week I had been confronted with the reality of it, or rather and attempt at it. A family member of a colleague had been under treatment for bi-polar disorder and had taken an overdose of her medication. Luckily the attempt was just that and the quick actions of people in this persons life saved it. I remember going ice cold. Like a part of the arctic was pushed into my core. Several years ago, I had suffered from severe depression. To the point where taking my own life was not something to be feared, but sought. Anything to just feel again. It is hard to describe to anyone the feeling of not feeling. It’s much the same as explaining the concept of a world where God is not present to someone that devoutly believes. You just cannot fathom the depth of despair when you cannot feel joy again. Everyone is used to these emotions in their live...
