I am not feeling too well. That is to be expected though. It’s the new medication. My doctor told me that for the first week or so I might even feel worse than normal. Nothing to worry about. Just have to get through that, then things should be better. Right now I’m feeling very drowsy and the world seems to be swimming before my eyes. Which is kind of a funny sensation anyhow, so I’m not bothered.<\/p>\n
I will try to get pictures of the goat kids up soon. If they would just stop spinning around my head and floating through the air…<\/p>\n
The Fume left me a comment:
\nNo insult intended, but maybe getting off your butt and doing something
\nother than cuddling animals all day would be better for your depression
\nthan eating pills.<\/p>\n
There is a world out there! DO SOMETHING, make it yours, instead of slowly wasting away at a playground for kids. <\/i><\/p>\n
Now, I do believe it was meant well, but it’s not really helpful. First of all I am not at the playground all day. I have spent a lot of time there the last couple of days because of the new goat kids, but I’m not normally there for hours every day. Unfortunately. And about the pills, it’s a common misconception about depression that you can just “pull yourself together”. Or get off your butt. Real depression is not always that easy to get over. And I do think I am suffering from a rather severe depression. So that’s why I’m taking the medication. I am not expecting it to cure me and make my life wonderful. But I am hoping that it will correct some of the chemical imbalances in my brain. And thereby give me the strength to improve my life in such a way that I can find happiness on my own. And I know that no matter how “normal” or fixed I get I will still want to cuddle animals as much as possible. That is happiness to me, REAL happiness. And that’s precious to me. Hopefully I’ll be able to overcome my social phobia and get a more normal life, but the day that I won’t have time or desire to sit and play with goat kids is the day I might as well call it quits.<\/p>\n
There are enough drones in the world as it is.<\/p>\n
Oh and the playground isn’t just for kids. There are plenty of adults, older than me too, who visit there a lot. And even for the kids it’s not just “a playground”, it’s an important social alternative to their life in the concrete ghetto-like complex they live in. It functions almost as a daycare and an after-school home and a place where the kids can learn about responsibilities, duties, tolerance and animals. Among other things. Much more than just a playground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
