I of course had to tell Maya and Robert about the new diagnosis. Robert came to see me after he took the boys to school; I can’t tell y’all how awesome he’s been about doing my job for me. Ok, the drug test part wasn’t great, but it’s not like I wasn’t expecting it. I … Continue reading Telling Maya and Robert (again)…and Going to the Psychiatrist (never again lol)

A New Diagnosis
When I got to Dr. Oliver’s for my session the next week, he seemed kinda excited as he escorted me from the waiting room to his office. “I think I need to change your diagnosis,” he said, even before I sat down. “I did some more research into cases like yours, and I’m now pretty … Continue reading A New Diagnosis
Maya and Robert Find Out As Well
There was still the problem of how – or what – I was going to tell Maya and Robert. I’d burned through the migraine excuse a while ago, and I was seriously afraid they thought I was on drugs. I was right. I was having another morning when I couldn’t get started – they were … Continue reading Maya and Robert Find Out As Well
Joyce and Keaton Find Out
Dr. Oliver’s initial diagnosis was depression. He said that he didn’t think I was like Travis and had a ‘mood disorder’ (apparently you can just get depressed and have a mood disorder, as opposed to Travis who gets depressed and manic.) Still, he said he wasn’t ruling out that possibility, as it turns out I’m … Continue reading Joyce and Keaton Find Out
Introducing My Therapist
So what was it like going to the therapist for the first time? From what Travis told me, a lot of therapists see their clients (that’s what we’re called, not patients) on Zoom, but he prefers to see his therapist in person, and that office offers both options. Dr. Oliver said he wanted to see … Continue reading Introducing My Therapist
Anyone Know a Therapist?
It would be great to report that, after Luke’s diagnosis that I was depressed, everything suddenly got better, but that’s not what happened. If anything, it made me even more depressed because now I got to be depressed about being depressed. I missed getting up with the boys the Monday after we got back from … Continue reading Anyone Know a Therapist?
I’m back — and I’ve got a problem
I may not have felt 100% in the weeks after I had my first 'migraines', but there were no mornings where I couldn’t get out of bed, at least for a while. Not until Keaton’s birthday, which me, Travis, Dani and Jesse had a whole thing planned for. Pretty much out of the blue, I … Continue reading I’m back — and I’ve got a problem
I’m Back
Hey y’all. So I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything on the blog. I’ve been going through some pretty serious shit and I haven’t felt much like writing. I’m still on TV, however, and I’m still looking out for Jacob and Matteo, and me and Joyce are still together. Keaton’s still my best … Continue reading I’m Back
