Passedexpectations- You may have a point. The theory homework I hate is giving me something to do with my mind right now other than being depressed.
Starla- I do hope you don't think I'm criticizing everyone who has a day job, children, and more responsibilities than I do. If I offended I apologize wholeheartedly. I only meant to say that I personally do not think I could cope with having that much to do. But it is good to know that in spite of having much more than I do on my shoulders, you feel centered and balanced somehow.
So, I suppose the general consensus is that it gets better, but not easier. What a foreign concept to me! I have always equated peace with a life free of any responsibility. It almost- only almost, mind!- makes me wish for the Victorian era, when the most common and widely practiced cure for a lady/s mental health issues was to send her off to the countryside and demand that she do nothing but lie in bed all day.
I fear I will never have a day when I can lie in bed all day again. And my fears just might be valid.
Yet the human mind and soul can tolerate and endure a great deal more than we believe it could. I can force myself to endure school and domestic responsibilities.
Forgive me for rambling. I appreciate your insight, both of you.
