such a long time since i've actually put pen to paper. it feels good. of course it will be put to the web later tonight (in the process of). something else which feels good; getting back at it.
revisiting old friends. music that is. U2's "The Joshua Tree." one of the best albums, ever. funny how music can take you to a place in your life, even if it was 20 years ago. remembering that time, emotions, people.
The Pretenders, Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors." heavy rotation as of late. why? i can't say. what i can verbalize is the comfort they bring. they make the uncertainty of my life a bit more silent. i cannot get enough of the aural. it feeds my soul...

melting point
it finally happened. yesterday. i knew it was coming and it did with a vengeance.
after a psychotic break i always have the feeling of not necessarily euphoria, but bliss, release or complete submission. there is one thing i have found which gives my psyche this release. unfortunately i cannot obtain this whenever i so very much need it. maybe when my brain shuts down, does the break, it knows what to look forward to; that blissful feeling, the submission, the letting go. is this why it happens? why i cannot contain my emotions? why i allow them to build up to this point?

please, no more...
Side-effects
Short-term side-effects, as with all glucocorticoids, include high blood glucose levels, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus or on other medications that increase blood glucose such as tacrolimus) and mineralocorticoid effects such as fluid retention. It is worth noting, however, that the mineralocorticoid effects of prednisone are very minor; this is why it is not used in the management of adrenal insufficiency, unless a more potent mineralocorticoid is administered concomitantly.
Additional short-term side-effects can include insomnia, euphoria and, rarely, mania (in particular, in those suffering from Bipolar disorders I and II). It can also cause depression or depressive symptoms and anxiety in some individuals.[4] [5]
Long-term side-effects include Cushing's syndrome, truncal weight gain, osteoporosis, glaucoma and cataracts, type II diabetes mellitus, anddepression upon dose reduction or cessation.
