Quick update:
Things I need folks to sometimes poke me on if I don't mention them.
-Getting professional...perhaps medical help...for this round of depression. It hasn't been this bad in 14 years.
-Writing. Tied into the depression has been my unwillingness to write about anything but dance. I need to be writing about my life, the earthquake, the aftermath, and this year. It was my plan to write about it with aim for publishing.
Savvy people will recognize that this is coming up while D is here. Things have been bumpy but not a disaster...but pretty bad as I have had a total depression break upon being with someone I cannot hide my emotions from and who is not a fellow Japan earthquaker with the same mental walls as I have.
He's not unfamiliar with depression and understands this better than i could have asked for.
So does this mean I am moving to Austin next year? Things don't feel as sure as they once did but I think we will both be working toward that goal, more aware of the issues involved with such a move and the fact that neither of us is looking for a 100% monogamous life-mate. This means more talking about things going on in our life, more often, and probably a trip there around Christmas.
