Haven't posted for a few days, been thinking about some things. Had therapy on Wed and the therapist thought it would be a good idea for me to join an intensive outpatient therapy, its like a step between therapy and hospitalization. He thinks it would help me meet people. I thought about it a lot and I don't think now is the time, although I do have the time, I think I need to concentrate on me first, then try to meet people. There is obviously something about me that keeps people from wanting to get close to me so I need to figure out what it is and how to fix it. That's why I started going to therapy in the first place. So on Wed when I see him again I will tell him I am not ready for that step. Hopefully he will be able to continue to help me.
I have also been thinking about what I want to accomplish in life. I complain about the state of things, like how the presidential candidates are raising millions of dollars just to try to run for president when that money should be going to the homeless or health care or education. People's priorities are so screwed up, it infuriates me! I want to do something about it, but what can I do? I am currently on unemployment so not really in a place to donate money to charities. I went on MySpace and started posting this blog there as well and I joined a brain tumor group on the site. I was reading some of the posts and someone quoted a study that found that many people diagnosed with brain tumors get in major financial difficulty, even when they have good insurance, there are just too many bills, or they aren't able to return to work, etc... My idea is to start a foundation to help these people. Now I know something like that will take a lot of money and many other resources, I would want to start a website so people could donate money and tell their stories and ask for money and I would need an investigator to make sure the applicants for the money are legitimate. I am going to start doing research on just what is necessary to start such a foundation and when I get back to work I will start saving money to get it started. It may take several years, but its what I would like to do. I just hope it is a reasonable goal for someone like me, but I am going to do what I can to make it happen. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to offer them, I will need all the help I can get!
