"Remember that God has given us wondrous knowledge and techonology that can help us overcome grievous problems such as mental illness. Seriously mentally ill persons simply cannot, through an exercise of will, get out of the predicament they are in. They need help, encouragement, understanding and love...we don't say to persons with heart disease or cancer, 'Just grow up up and get over it.' Neither should we treat the mentally ill in such an uncompassionate and unhelpful way."
(Elder Alexander Morrison, Emeritus Seventy).

Still

Painfully truthful:

I could sure use a lift for my own hopeless heart..

I wish I could find a better way to remove all the filth that fills me up sometimes.

I want someone with me always.

I wish everyday were sunny and warm. I wouldn't take it for granted. I would relish every moment, I really would.

I wish Kendall was still my best friend.

I'm waiting for someone who really cares about me.

Sometimes I want a "good reason" to yell at someone..sometimes I feel like looking for a fight. I felt like that today.
But I would never. Not intentionally. Not pre-meditatingly so. Yes, I just made that word up.

I wish I didn't feel upset that Callie is still good friends with him. I wish I didn't feel alienated, cut-off and like an awful person because of it.

I hope, that despite myself...

At this moment...my own hope is just a glimmer. But it's still there.

I want to quit my job instead of having to try and fix the problems I'm having with my manager and working twice as hard as I already feel I do to prove to someone (who doesn't believe) that I'm more than worth anything having there.

I hope school isn't always such a thorn in my side. Not the learning...I love learning. But the technical, financial, administrative stuff.

I'd like to come across more shiny/sparkly things.

I wish people would stop pointing out how skinny I am and telling me they've noticed that I've lost weight.


Hum the tune to More Holiness Give Me and Have I Done Any Good in the World Today?
