For Lola from Piers

PROVE IT, HERMY……

If only I had energy to do that proving!

Lola, I appreciate your concern. I have no idea why I stay so depressed right now. Maybe I am the chihuahua of the body, taking the depression from them as they go night night. I don’t know, but I don’t deal with it well, obviously.

I know I hurt Mikey’s and probably your feelings earlier, and for that I apologize. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. It was a good thought that maybe everyone went to sleep. In fact, it makes me wonder why I didn’t think of that. After all, Mikey drops over sleepy late at night and Hank takes over, so why not?

I don’t really know how to maintain positivity, if that makes sense. I don’t know what to do when I get depressed, except just BE depressed, which usually makes me irritable as hell, too. Got any suggestions? I’ll listen, on here at least.

Mikey, I’m sorry. I hope that counts.

I struggle with depression all the time. I sometimes get a lift from the pills but that is only a surface cure. I try to keep myself up but the stuff with Malcolm hurts. Maybe it will help to know that the others inside you trust you enough to fall asleep and leave you in control. Maybe it is the time of day that gets you down. I have problems early in the morning and on weekends. Try asking the

others (thelma and barbara ) (not Oscar unless he is in a good mood) what they like about you. Thelma could give some good advice about dealing with the blahs. She has been around long enough. (do not tell her I said that) whatever you do don’t ask Velma. She stays depressed and in a bad state of mind.
