update on escapism and cats

ok still trying o pull myself up, though I do seem to be climbing, so i've been having trouble coming up with full topics for blog posts, so here's a few updates on previous posts.

one is my cat, thanks to a vacuum kind of spot cleaner and finding a spray that seems to work for the carpenter (thanks to my good good friend jennifer) I think my cat is safe, the landlords still don't like it so he's on very shaky ground but there no longer actively telling me I can't have him.

second is that I think I gave the wrong impression in my escapism post, while I admit I overindulge in gaming and escpaism while my depression is flaring, I think I pretty much have it under control when my depression isn't killing my functionality. and when my depression flares I need the distraction, if I'm not gaming it's typically only a matter of time before I start doing things like literally researching how to suscessfully kill myself, I know why some of the common methods fail and I've spent time looking how to do them effectivly, and spent time thinking about where I could go to do it that would take the longest for them to find me (ideal situation being not finding me at all) and while I enjoy stuff like writting or reading, I basically need to build up momentum before they manage to occupy enough of my head to sufficiently keep those thoughts out, otherwise a part of my brain brings them up and before you know it, I'm thinking more about sucide then what I'm trying to read. gaming as the advatage of drawing me in sufficently right away.

furthermore I don't think I use it to avoid other things, if there's something specific on my mind I usually find a way of trying to deal with that (often thanks once again to my friend Jennifer) but a lot of times it's not stuff that I can, sometimes it's self esteem issues, and sometimes it's just the sadness thoughts of death, so I welcome anything that can bring something else into my head.

  1. It sucks when we get like that, I am realizing I am in my danger time right now. My Mom's birthday to her death day is when I get vulnerable. I am lucky right now, my work will keep me busy and the little ones are in activities that I can find so light to combat the dark. Hang in there Sweetie. I know I don't write alot, but I read and I pray, so remember us out here rooting for you. *kisses forehead*

  2. I'm very happy to hear that the suggested pet stain cleaner helped out. I have a lot of pets my self, so.. You pick up a few tips. lol

    I really hate to hear that you have crafted a plans for suicide in the past. and I know you already know this, but if you ever feel anything like that in the future, please get in touch with me. Chances are good you will be able to reach me. But I'm also sure you know that too. heh

    I'm glad I have provided you with a means to get your thoughts away from such things. And I will always be happy to do that again and again. it wouldn't feel right to me if I signed on and you were never there.

    Sometimes we both get busy offline, but never more then a couple of weeks. I think me and you have been friends around 4 years or so. I know I don't always have something to say, but just knowing your there too is comforting.
