Hey folks, Well it's been a long time between updates, but I thought I'd drop in to wish you all a Happy 2011. This year has been pretty rough at times, but I seem to be recovering gradually. There is hope on the horizon. On a bad day it may feel like wishful thinking, but [...]

I'm currently in Brisbane visiting my father's family, motivated by my aunty's 80th Birthday. Technically, it's six months now since I began the Gupta Amygdala Retraining programme for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So I think it's time for a review. I say "technically", because I only really stuck to the programme for the first four of those [...]

There's some more research out confirming the association between XMRV and CFS. It's sounding more plausible to me, although I've no idea how I would have picked up XMRV. I wonder if it's possible to get tested for it, out here in far-flung Australia. Even if I was positive, there's no recommended treatment yet... so [...]

I cried myself to sleep last night; the mood swings were really getting to me, and I just felt really depressed about how stuck I feel being ill much of the time. Lee's advice yesterday to put my dreams on hold and avoid pushing on with the help of medication, while valid and helpful, sounded [...]

I'm  just going to go stream-of-consciousness with this one: Went to acting class today. We do "activities" and "doors", where we work together in pairs. One person is doing an activity in their lounge room, when the other interrupts at the door. The two of us dialogue using repetition, both attempting to get our needs [...]

In the beginning... The story of last weekend really begins on Friday evening. A bit before then in fact, when two girls from my acting class Vanessa and Monique, both expressed interest in coming with me to a psychodrama introductory evening on Friday night. I thought "Great, be good to have their company", and I [...]

I went to acting practise last night, and had a good time; it always gives me a lift. There's a girl there who I really like who has been quite friendly towards me, and I've been hoping to get to know her better. Last night I heard her say to one of the other guys [...]

I felt anxious in acting class today, and somewhat overwhelmed. Felt a bit pissed off with life and the whole emotional struggle thing. I still have a backlog of email to read & answer from my meditation retreat, and an overdue book report to write. Plus I haven't seen my family in eons. My tendency [...]
