this fabulous view was curtesy of a tropical drepression that may or may not turn into a typhoon (according to the weather woman)... it rained so hard that afternoon i was thinking i may never see a glorious sunset for the next few days. at quarter to six, the hellish raining stopped. then the clouds and sun for the next twenty minutes did it's thing. truely amazing to see how the sky changes with every dip of the sun into the horizon. this part of the sunset was just before the blue hour. had to shoot and focus fast... this (birght orange and yellow against blue)... only lasted about eight minutes. about three minutes after this shot there was no more... rain started again that night.

thank you and goodnight... viewing and commenting resumes tomorrow morning =)

And now I understand

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

 

Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you

But still your love was true

 

And when no hope was left in sight

On that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often do

 

But I could have told you Vincent

This world was never meant

For one as beautiful as you

 

Starry, starry night

Portraits hung in empty halls

Frameless heads on nameless walls

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

 

Like the stranger that you've met

The ragged men in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of bloody rose

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

 

And now I think I know

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

 

They would not listen

They're not listening still

Perhaps they never will

Herr K. betritt zögernd mit mattem Gang das Sprechzimmer. Seine Mimik ist ernst, von der Umgebung unberührt. Stockend und mühsam berichtet er: Er fühle sich stimmungsmäßig leer, wie versteinert, er empfinde nichts mehr, nicht einmal mehr Traurigkeit. Es fehle ihm Kraft und Antrieb, auch nur das Nötigste zu tun, obwohl er ständig dagegen anzukämpfen versuche. Obwohl er unendlich müde sei, habe er seit Wochen nicht mehr durchgeschlafen, die frühen Morgenstunden brächten die schlimmsten, grauenvollsten Stunden seines Lebens mit sich: Erwachend aus qualvollen Angstträumen beschleiche ihn entsetzliche Furcht vor dem langen, langen Tag mit seinen unendlichen Minuten, in denen sich alles nur noch zum Schlimmeren wenden würde. Das Aufstehen, das Heben der Beine aus dem Bett, bedeute eine Qual für ihn. Obwohl er körperlich gesund sei, fühle er sich wie abgeschlagen, sei appetitlos, verspüre einen Druck über der Brust und im Kopf, die Kehle sei wie zugeschnürt. Das Denken trete auf der Stelle, er könne kaum noch Zeitung lesen, habe an nichts mehr Interesse, falle ins Grübeln über Vergangenes. Er habe das Gefühl überflüssig zu sein, er sei für seine Familie nur noch Balast. Die Besorgtheit der Angehörigen mache alles noch schlimmer, weil er sich deshalb immer mehr Schuldgefühle wegen seines Verhaltens machen müsse.

 

When one of the blue days starts eating you alive

Am all alone and sad bored and have nothing to do

I have a headache from the minute I woke up

I know why

I didn't sleep

I only had 3 hrs of sleep

So tired

I play .. Recklessly .. creating a mess

With my nail polish

   

And then

I receive a message

Usually no body sends me messages

Only to ask about something

Or messages from the bank

Visa withdrawal

Ads

Etisalat annoying promotions

 

But when I checked the message

It as from a friend

I know her from Uni

We still sms each other

 

The message really made my day

She remembers me

No need to call me

But she sends me messages

That will always cheer me up

Jokes that drives me insanely hyper

The mood flips

180 degrees

First run on the Kelsey. Wood type + lead | www.depressionpress.org

I'm experimenting with taking my "scratch" painting that I do with a skewer and going to swirls, using a very fine pointy paintbrush. I need a better brush, one with just a bit more stiffness to it. Oh, darn. Another tool I just have to have. :)

 

This painting is 7" x 7" and is acrylic on cardstock. I tried to show how depression feels as described to me by a couple family members.

My friend died of depressions in 2001. When I was visiting my father's grave, I have also found his grave. I didn't know it before, because there was no funeral service. I was happy to read his name and to think of our friendship.

Took this image back to its original format, as I felt like it illustrated the feel better. The weight hovering over, flattening you. I liked the angles of the pose in the last one, but the quasi rigor mortis aesthetic was was more true to the theme.

 

Strobist info: Two flashes shot through diffusers, CR gelled CTO (color shift in post) and CL, angled about 30 degrees behind my head and feet. Radio trigger.

Hurricane Isaac has not been devastating, but lots of rain... Now it's Cuba's turn. At least I learned the expression "tropical depression" - that's when the Caribbean reminds me more of home than I like it to. Update: In spite of a milder version of the hurricane this time, 8 people has been reported to have died in Haiti due to drowning or being hit by falling trees and walls, a tragedy and a reminder what may happen when the big hurricane hits this vulnerable society.

An article from today's Helsingin Sanomat (the main newspaper in Finland):

 

LED lights in the ears may stop depression

 

Depression may be stopped in the future with strong LED light in people's ears, reports the newspaper Kaleva.

 

The Oulu-based company Valkee has developed a device, which provides light through the ear channels directly to the areas of brain that respond to light.

 

"In just four weeks practially all winter depression sufferers with severe depression and anxiety symptoms were fully cured", the CEO of the company says.

 

Light can be shined to the brain from the ear channel where the bones are very thin.

 

Professor Timo Takala characterises the method "at least revolutionary".

 

"All symptoms disappeared in a short period of time", Takala confirms the results from the test group.

 

"Light has direct biological effect and we now have clear proof of this."

 

The device has been patented in 2006. It should be available online and through pharmacies in early February.

 

I could not make the lamp stay in my ear, so I stuck it in my mouth. I am not sure if I feel better, but I will give reports on my progress.

They had this modern wallpaper in almost every room of their xray-institute

......I said I would come back at night

to paint at least ONE green leave on their dead trees ;-)

Depression is a complicated condition that arises and maintains itself in a way that's is distinct to each person's history, biology, thinking patterns, behavior, relationships and environment. In order to conquer it in a way that is sustainable each of those relevant domains may need to be addressed. This can take time and countless barriers exist. It's not as simple as just doing one thing and you'll feel better. We can't use ourselves as a frame of reference to understand someone else. What we can do is shut off our judgment makers and seek to understand. That sets the stage for any type of helping. Have a favorite theory? Put in on the shelf. You'll need more than one and that may not be the one. What's in the box? That's a great question. Ask it.

My fight with depression has left a heavy toll on my family, my few friends, my art and my psyche. Wanting to avoid every shop window or mirror in order to avoid seeing my reflection is one of the many symptoms of this disease. Learning to deal with this is another thing entirely and as such this is the start of a series which takes me out of my comfort zone and tests my wherewithal.

"I am—yet what I am none cares or knows;

My friends forsake me like a memory lost:

I am the self-consumer of my woes—

They rise and vanish in oblivious host,

Like shadows in love’s frenzied stifled throes

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed

Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,

Into the living sea of waking dreams,

Where there is neither sense of life or joys,

But the vast shipwreck of my life’s esteems;

Even the dearest that I loved the best

Are strange—nay, rather, stranger than the rest.

I long for scenes where man hath never trod

A place where woman never smiled or wept

There to abide with my Creator, God,

And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept,

Untroubling and untroubled where I lie

The grass below—above the vaulted sky."
