THE UNWITTING VILLAIN

TD and I have been friends awhile.  I don’t mean just casual blog friends, he is one of those friends I can (and do) count on:  He is 1) Never too busy to talk if I need him 2) Isn’t scared of blubbering, hysterical tears and 3) Isn’t scared off by an emotional screaming cursing…

MASQUERADE

Helena is my truth teller. She doesn’t pry, try to fix me, or even know me that well, but she reached out and told me she understood. In fact, as of late, I have several bloggy friends who have formed a casual support group. Sometimes, something will trigger depression but depression doesn’t need a reason…

A TORNADO IN THE CLOUDS

  I am not a social person. I pretend to be sometimes if I need to, in fact, many of my closest friends don’t realize that when I excuse myself it is, more often than not, to calm myself down. All it takes is one moment, one word, one look the wrong way, and my…
