We haven’t talked in a while..

Apologies for my recent absence from posting on my blog. Lately, I've found myself less motivated to update it, partly because it seems that only a handful of wonderful individuals take the time to read it. To those few, I extend my heartfelt gratitude; your engagement means a lot to me, and I'd love to hear more from you. As many of you are aware, I've been preoccupied with managing my weight. Currently, I'm hovering around 175-178 pounds, though my body has undergone some changes following the removal of my gallbladder a few months ago. Thankfully, the surgery went smoothly…

I Don’t Know What It Is??

I don't get why there are nights I cannot just sleep. Right now, I am waiting on CVS to fill a script for me, as they are out of the medication, and it is to help with sleeping. It will cost $80 but I am willing to try it to see if it will help me sleep. It is called Quviviq and like I said I am just waiting to get it filled. Right now, I am just sitting here listening to music and really wanting to sleep, so I will try that again in a few minutes. Hopefully, I will…

I haven't really had any issues since the surgery to remove my gallbladder. I have gained a little weight and that annoys me. I am a 48-year-old, slightly overweight gay guy. NO one is going to want me. Even if I am looking much better than I used to be. My mental health is under control. Other than that, things are all right. However, I am a very lonely person. Which leads to right there I have bad depression, like tonight. Feel empty and alone. Work is great since I to be a CS Process Analyst. It's a lot of…

I Survived Surgery

Well, it has been an interesting start to the month. I've had my gallbladder removed on 08/15/2023 and I am out on short term disability while I take time to recover. Sitting at the computer is limited. If I sit too long, then my stomach starts to hurt. My gallbladder was my first ever sugary. I looked like I was stabbed four times. Well, technically I was. I've included a picture of my battle wounds. They are healing nicely but I am still having some stomach discomfort and pain. Eating has returned to normal, which is fine. I am still…

I hope everyone is doing well. I am doing all right. I had a depression spell that lasted for a couple of weeks. I am now coming out of it. My mind is returning to normal. It's hard to explain. When I get that depressed, my mind goes to my dark place, and I withdraw from people. I had to explain that to my supervisor today. She understood. We had a brief chat today about everything why I have withdrawn. But today I came out of a dark place to see the light. I'm glad to be on the other…
