Zombieland
I heard “All You Zombies” by The Hooters earlier today- a blast from the past (mid ’80s?)- and it got me to thinking about how that describes so much of my life up to now. Because of my interpers...
Out of Hibernation
I’ve got an info session webinar with the director of the UB Rehabilitation Counseling program tonight at 6PM. I’ve procrastinated long enough and now it’s time to kick that process into gear. I...
So Much For That...

As I start climbing again, my biggest obstacle is ME. As much as I have worked to find my authentic self, the voices in my head persist. Voices that have been with me from my earliest memories an...

One of the big obstacles that I need to overcome as I move forward is learning how to be able to lean into the day after a night of unsettling dreams. Ever since I’ve been on Latuda I’ve had nigh...
Re-Entry
After taking some time away from “life “and allowing myself a chance to begin to discover who I am at this point in time, I’m ready to re-enter the orbit of daily living. I’ve done significant wo...
