I've finally moved my mood back to the green zone. Although I'm on the lower end of "good", good seems to be where I am. I am, at least, as good as I can be considering the longterm sense of futile hopelessness that seems to be a semi-permanent part of my psyke now.

I want to sincerely thank everyone for the responses to my last journal entry. I am going to try to go the way of compromise, but I'm not sure how amenable she will be to that. I've been on DS maybe 15 minutes over the last two days and she still wound up berating me over it.
I'm back at work. I don't know if I was genuinely ill over the last couple days or just e...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

But don't you understand? Passion doesn't always count.
My brother was very passionate about everything when I was growing up. We always had to take certain routes in the car. It didn't matter if the routes took us on dirt roads and took us hours longer to reach our destination. He was passionate about lists. He would constantly demand that I give him my f...1 Recommendation16 Comments -

My mood is still sucky, and to be honest I'm having a little trouble identifying why. When my shrink asked me the other day I told him that I have been working for 27 years in the same building, have never moved more than two miles from my family home and am currently back IN my family home. The one bold move I ever made (marrying my current wife) in my life has turned into a nigh...6 Comments -

It's been a week since my last entry. I've become addicted to playing Oblivion on the XBox. It's a dangerous game, in that it doesn't seem to have an end.
I've surviving at work, and I'm kinda dying at home. No motivation. The house, as usual, is a mess. My step-daughter has gone vegetarian, which for some reason means that we ALL have to go ve...1 Recommendation6 Comments -

Not too much to say. Saturday I sat around like a slug, but on Sunday I got the bathroom cleaned up, washed my clothes, and THEN sat around like a slug. We watched two DVDs: Juno and Across the Universe. Both were VERY good.
Today was day 3 of my morning workout. 20 mins cardio vascular. I lost more weight. I'd like to do some weight training as well, but my...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

I exercised today as well, this time doing the cardio routine on the treadmill for 20 minutes and working up a sweat. My weight hasn't budged for a while. I'm hoping that will change soon.1 Recommendation2 Comments -

Well, a bit of a back slide. But then I ate about a jar of jalapeano cheese dip last night at a soccer meeting so I guess this comes as no surprise. -

...then do something else.
Yesterday, while talking to my therapist, I decided that my old routines weren't working. Obviously not working. I was going to work late, and my brain was mush when I got there.
So, I outlined a new plan. This morning, I implemented it.
I woke up half-an-hour earlier and went to the gym. The temptation this morning just to sit down at my comput...1 Recommendation6 Comments
