Feelings...

There've been a lot of articles over chemsex parties & how they're refueling the HIV epidemic.  This isn't just an American phenomenon.   This piece is about the issue throughout Europe. Chemsex isn't really the problem, it's just a symptom.  

Whether a chemsex party or gathering of backwoods types to shoot-up, the reasons are pretty much the same.  These people are looking for escape.   They need contact. They need not to think.  They're drowning in their own misery & trying to escape even for a few moments in a very dangerous way.   Giving these people other options, opportunities, or even just some compassion & acknowledgement might go a long way.  These people feel disconnected, alone & hopeless.  They need an out.

Less judging & more understanding is the path to helping this situation.

PS - Starting to feel better.  Hope it holds.  That crap sucked.

Gloomy Day In August...

I woke up to another overcast day.  It's being a cool August so far.  I appreciate the lower temps, but the grey skies are rough on me.  I never do well with dreary weather.  I was already nerved out & these gloomy skies didn't help matters.   I hate to gripe, because I do like it being cooler.

I seem very out of touch with everything right now.  I feel like I'm sort of walking somewhere else than in the room I'm crossing.  I'm not relating to things well right now.   I look at myself sometimes & wonder who the hell are you?  I don't really know the answer sometimes.

Just trying to do this post today is taking a lot more concentration than I seem to be able to muster.  I couldn't find any articles & I really didn't want to moan & groan more.  Maybe that's what I have left.  I hope not.

I'll try to be in better spirits tomorrow.

Cya...
