EPILOGUE- 10/28/01 9:45 A.M.

I forgot to change the clocks back an hour. I’m sitting here at work feeling foolish and lonely. My son pimped me last night; he said he was going to visit me then changed his mind. Nobody returned my phone calls yesterday. Thank God, Judy called me and we had a nice conversation.

I saw my psychologist yesterday. He is still challenging me which is good. I will see him again after the appointment with my psychiatrist for my disability evaluation.

My short term memory is failing me. Turn signals stay on, stove stay on, pills don’t get taken on time, etc… But for once in my life, I am beginning to accept the fact that I have a disability. That I am not normal. We are all different, yes. But, mood disorders leave one destructive when depressed or elated. I have to try to keep myself from getting depressed, no matter what the price. Of course, there is fine line which makes it very difficult. I’m sorry world, I can’t keep up with you. I need to take care of myself. As do each and everyone one of you. Whatever works for you is the key. Let’s accept each other and ourselves as we are and quit trying to change each other and ourselves to be something that we’re not. I once wrote, I Love Everybody. Well, I would if everybody would love me!
