Why did they do this to me?
Why did they pick me?
Why did they think this was fun?
Why did they get away with it?
Where were my protectors?
Where were the people in charge?
Where were those that loved me?
Where were the people that believed in me?
When will it ever end???
I've had this idea floating around in my head for awhile. It seems fitting that I finished it this week, which marks a year since I was laid off.
This is my problem with unemployment. If I'm not busy enough, I have time to think - and that never ends well.
A series exploring points of crisis across the human lifespan, with particular regard to the middle-classes. The aim of the series being to externalise internal trauma.
Okie's came in '39
Seeking work for just a dime
Now, in Aught-Nine, still seeking work
But, a dime isn't worth the time

When you have depression, nothing is satisfying, nothing is funny, nothing makes you genuinely happy. There are only distractions.
Food doesn't taste good, movies don't make you laugh, people don't take away the lonliness.
Doctors keep uping the dosage as if a pill can grant you some sort of solution. It's just a pill. There's no way out.
From the Great Depression that is. The Bridge and Dam at Cumberland Mountain State Park is the largest masonry structure built by the Civil Conservation Corps. It stands today as a tribute to resilience as part of Homestead. History and beauty combined is a wonderful thing.
Is laughter really the ‘best medicine’? We all feel better for laughing - but is there any evidence it can really improve our health?
Are there really health benefits?
Laughing may make us feel better and more able to cope with the stresses and strains of everyday life. However, is there any evidence it has actual health benefits?
One large study, in Japan, researched 20,934 people aged over 65. It found those who reported laughing every day were less likely to experience heart disease than those who never or almost never laughed
A number of small studies have also suggested potential health benefits,for example that laughter may help:
Reduce stress
Improve learning ability and memory
Achieve improvements in memory, sociability and communication
Improve the ability to tolerate pain
Possibly reduce depression in older women
Improve mood and self-esteem
Improve quality of life for nursing home residents

My depression came back 3 weeks ago. I don't have much energy or drive to do any decent work. As such I will refrain from posting images until my health returns. Fingers crossed. Thank you for everyone's understanding. I have disabled commenting. It is not necessary to feel sorry for my mental health. On a positive note, I'm not yet suicidal. :)

The city has announced these two days to be on the watch for the flood that might be caused by the depression rain passing through.
La Paz, officially known as Nuestra Señora de La Paz (Our Lady of Peace), also named Chuqi Yapu (Chuquiago) in Aymara, is the seat of government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia (the constitutional capital of Bolivia is Sucre). With an estimated 789,541 residents as of 2015, La Paz is the third-most populous city in Bolivia (after Santa Cruz de la Sierra and El Alto).
Its metropolitan area, which is formed by La Paz, El Alto and Viacha, makes up the most populous urban area in Bolivia, with a population of 2.3 million. It is also the capital of the La Paz Department.
The city, located in west-central Bolivia 68 km (42 mi) southeast of Lake Titicaca, is set in a canyon created by the Choqueyapu River. It is located in a bowl-like depression surrounded by the high mountains of the Altiplano. Overlooking the city is the towering, triple-peaked Illimani. Its peaks are always snow covered and can be seen from many parts of the city. At an elevation of roughly 3,650 m (11,975 ft) above sea level, La Paz is the highest capital city in the world. Due to its altitude, La Paz has an unusual subtropical highland climate, with rainy summers and dry winters.
