Silent Storms

It's Alive

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and words. I'm a little better now. I still have a nagging cough, but at least I can sit up without turning my brain to soup.

The situation at home is currently kind of stressful. Darling has taken a turn into madness again, and it's all we can do to keep from strangling each other.

Living with a schiz partner is an exercise in dashed hopes. Last year, Darling has been committed to an institution twice. We had a doctor who gave us hope and then dashed these hopes by doing none of the follow-up work he said he would.

I'm trying my best to deal. I found it works well when I do not react to whatever he says that upsets me. Anger just escalates anger.

I'm being incoherent, I feel. When sanity and complete health returns, I'll be better.

I don't know if I'll be blogging again this week, but from next week, the schedule should be on track again. I just wanted to indicate that I'm still alive.

Thanks everyone.
