About Me

My photo
Massachusetts, United States
I am 41 years old. I have been married to my husband for 15 years. We have a son who was born in April 1996. We live in Central Massachusetts with our dog Maggie (a black lab we adopted from the animal rescue league) and our cat Sam (a stray that adopted us) I graduated from college with a BFA in Theatre in 1993 (hence the name) and for a few years pursued a career as an actress. Then life took over and I got married, had a baby and decided to get a "real" job. In November 2004, I was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's disease. In December 2004, I was hospitalized for surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. In December 2009, I was laid off from my job. In June 2010, my son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 14. Stick around to see what happens next!

apathy

I've written about this before.

Apathy is a psychological term for a state of indifference — where an individual is unresponsive or "indifferent" to aspects of emotional, social, or physical life. Clinical apathy is considered to be at an elevated level, while a moderate level might be considered depression, and an extreme level could be diagnosed as a dissociative disorder. The physical aspect of apathy associated with physical deterioration, muscle loss, and lack of energy is called lethargy — which has many pathological causes as well.

That's me these days. I just don't care about much except I do care about the fact that I don't care about anything. I suppose that's good.

I feel like I am stuck. I know what I need to do but either I don't know how to do it or I just to care to do it. I HATE feeling this way.

My life is good. I have so much love and goodness in my life.

I want to be that person who has so much motivation to everything that they should be doing.

As a mother
as a wife
as a person with PD
as a woman.

I started a new med today. I've taken one dose and it makes me feel "weird". We'll see.

Work sucks these days...not as bad as Sales was but just in general terms. I just wish I didn't have to work.

ok..that's it. must get back to work.
