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 ;-)
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.
"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."

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.
2018P52 Week 41: Mental Health Awareness
Depression is a dark place where one feels trapped. It's a helpless feeling and there seems to be no escape... or even the energy to seek an escape.
If you or a loved one is clinically depressed, you/they desperately need help to find a way out.
The BDI (which stands for "Beck's Depression Inventory" or "Becks Depressions Inventar" in the original German) is sort of THE standard diagnostic tool to measure, quantitatively, a person's level of depression. It consists of 21 questions, each of which has 4 possible responses, rated from 0 to 3. People answer the questions and the ratings corresponding to their answers are added together so possible scores range from 0 to 63.
BDI Question #13 is titled "Indecisiveness" and has the following 4 possible responses:
- "I make decisions about as well as ever." (rated 0)
- "I find it more difficult to make decisions than usual." (rated 1)
- "I have much greater difficulty in making decisions than I used to." (rated 2)
- "I have trouble making any decisions." (rated 3)
The problem with chronic depression is that, for me, both the first AND the last options are true! I have enormous difficulty with making even minor, trivial decisions, but this has been the case for as long as I can remember (I began treatment for depression, including both medication and therapy, at age 10).
So what does all that have to do with this image?? Well, you can probably guess. It's another image that shows 2 variations that I can't decide between. I think I want to make one of them available for sale in the form of limited edition prints, but I can't for the life of me decide which one (OR what title to use). This is the exact same scenario as my recently posted image with the highly-un-subtle title of “PLEASE HELP - NEED TITLE - NEED TO CHOOSE WHICH VERSION!!!!”
All I can say right now is “*SIGH* - not AGAIN!”
A follow up: I decided on the righthand version and titled it "Dark-Centered Egg Drop Soup (Restaurant at the End of the Universe)"

I visited my next door neighbour and she gave me this lovely old depression glass she had. She has quite a pile of it. I only took these, I have no room left for anymore dishes.
More than just feeling blue.

New research reveals what we don’t see when we’re feeling blue.
Sadness and depression have a huge impact on our perception of the world around us. When we feel blue or down in the dumps, we tend to feel less curious or excited about things. It’s as if the world has been muted, shro...

Manic Depression - Ian Dury
The mind is a very precious flower
That finds itself a strand amongst the weeds
The cause and effect is what you might expect
And going round the bend is where it leads
Sometimes it all falls into place
Other times it sploshes in your face
On occasion grafting wins the day
Usually you wear yourself away
Is this fair we ask ourselves as we get our headaches bad backs and complaints
Is this fair my little ones? Is this fair?
Oh no it fucking ain't
Whitby is a seaside town in Yorkshire, northern England, split by the River Esk. On the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea, the ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey was Bram Stoker’s inspiration for “Dracula”. Nearby is the Church of St. Mary, reached by 199 steps. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum, in the house where Cook once lived, displays paintings and maps. West of town is West Cliff Beach, lined with beach huts.
