Illahie: Depression Day 2 - Do I look better?
http://illahie.blogspot.com/2015/01/depression-day-2-do-i-look-better.html
Exploring life, faith, language and the world around us. Friday, January 02, 2015. Depression Day 2 - Do I look better? I had coffee with a friend today, a good thing for me to do because it is so easy for me ot hide out in the house and only communicate with people on social media. Anyway, this person had not seen me in person for some months and he said I looked better, that I was more animated. Hmmm? Stress - fluctuating between 6 and 9. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Exploring life, faith, language and the world around us. Wednesday, May 07, 2014. What remains of my family silver. Family Silver is a concept referring to the remains of what a family haves, in my case in my family we actually have family silver though very little remaining. Two pieces have belonged to me since I have been a baby, a pitcher and a shot glass. With my parents death what was left was divided between Nik, Beatrice and myself. The family silver I have is:. Five Spoons from the 1880s. In 1994...

Illahie: 365 Days of Depression
http://illahie.blogspot.com/2014/12/365-days-of-depression.html
Exploring life, faith, language and the world around us. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. 365 Days of Depression. So I went through 2014 in very deep depression for most of the year. I have struggled with how to talk about it and not be defined by it. What I am going to try in 2015 is to write about it day by day for the year. For my own benefit I want to measure how my mood was on any given day. Was I happy or not? Was getting out of bed easy? Could I get the mundane tasks done? View my complete profile.

Exploring life, faith, language and the world around us. Monday, January 05, 2015. Memories of my life before my 4th birthday aka the birth of Nik von Schulmann. I have a very clear images of my life as a little kid but before I was five I had no idea of date or times. I can within my mind connect a narrative of my life that starts somewhere around two and runs to today. I can remember my second birthday. I also remember my third birthday. I can remember Paul von Hahn's birthday's in 1968 and 1969 but th...

Exploring life, faith, language and the world around us. Friday, January 09, 2015. Depression Day 9 - I need to change my thinking. I need to deal with how I am thinking, I am letting my mind take me down and interfere with my life. What I need to do is change how I think, I need to fight against the easy path to following the negativity. Can just changing my thinking be the answer to the depression?

Illahie: Depression
http://illahie.blogspot.com/2014/06/depression.html
Exploring life, faith, language and the world around us. Wednesday, June 04, 2014. Where do I start? I have bad depression. It has been very bad for the last five months but it has been around consistently for years. How bad? I am not sure I can admit that in public. I was in denial about it for most of my adult life, even when I got some treatment in 2009 I do not think I truly accepted it. As part of my process to try and improve my mental health I am going to try and write about my depression. I h...

Illahie: Volcanoes in the Pacific North West
http://illahie.blogspot.com/2014/12/volcanoes-in-pacific-north-west.html
Exploring life, faith, language and the world around us. Saturday, December 27, 2014. Volcanoes in the Pacific North West. As someone born in Vancouver in 1965 volcanoes became real for me when Mount St Helens. I think until then the idea of volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest was just not real for people because it had been so long since there had been an eruption in this region. The nearest was Mount Lassen in Northern California in 1915. But this region is very much an active volcanic region. Subscribe...

Illahie: Depression Day 8 - Stress
http://illahie.blogspot.com/2015/01/depression-day-8-stress.html
Exploring life, faith, language and the world around us. Thursday, January 08, 2015. Depression Day 8 - Stress. This depression is causing me no end of stress in my life. It is hard to get things done with depression and that then causes me to feel stressed which then deepens the depression. Repeat ad naseum. I feel like I am in a Catch-22, the depression causes stress and the stress inflames the depression. Ultimately I have to figure out how to fix both at the same time. View my complete profile.

Illahie: Depression Day 5 - Headaches and Isomnia
http://illahie.blogspot.com/2015/01/depression-day-5-headaches-and-isomnia.html
Exploring life, faith, language and the world around us. Monday, January 05, 2015. Depression Day 5 - Headaches and Isomnia. Headaches and insomnia - is this part of the depression or does the depression cause them? Either way I have too much of either. I am operating on an average of about 6 hours a night at the moment - not enough to do what I need to do. It means I only have one usefully productive day in three. It is rare to get two good days in a row. It is as if you mind is using my body to attack ...
