January 3rd 2024

Hello,

It is the beginning of another year. James and I are no longer a couple, the one is back in hiding, so I am again beginning my year alone and hollow. January and February just generally suck. My depression cycle is naturally low during this time to begin with, and since Greg (my mother's last husband) was killed it has been even worse. The deepest low of the year. I say depression cycle and deepest low of the year because I have mild bipolar disorder, and live in a cycle of ups and downs. I have a pretty solid view of when my highs and lows happen, and luckily the mid level times are more of my life than the extreme highs or extreme lows, both of which come with their own problems. Doing my best to keep my head up, ride out the dip, and remember that the other side is infinitely better. Well, Happy New Year, may it be filled with light, love, health and success, whatever that looks like for you.

Angela.
