I read books. Scifi, horror, history or true life adventures. It takes me to another world so for a whike i can forget this one. I got through years of depression reading books.

Music, Especially Classic Disco Helps MeYet It Has Been a Very Long Time Since I’ve Played Any. I Guess It’s Because I’ve learned and Continue To Practice Acceptance and I Constantly Practice It As Best I Can To Accept Whatever I Have To Deal With. My other option talk to my therapist or my closest friends and that helps a lot as well.

With my diagnosis to prognosis there was no kind caring friends to chat with. When I moved out of a apartment to a new condo, the first thing I missed was my best criend coming score the hall for a chat and herbal tea, coffee is not in his diet.
I knew from the prognosis it would be a basic belief system that would guide. When all memories evaporated and the left leg was there but wasn’t my afternoon nurse did all he could to give me strength. When he realized that my life was hanging by a silk thread his goodnight see you tomorrow God willing was attached to the joys I bought to the nursing team and my challenging my doctors and his duty was to keep me alive so pull all the strength I had remaining’
I try to listen to uplifting music or ballads. The new Bruce Springston release is on repeat now.
