stuff & things.
When I was diagnosed last year, I read a shitload of self-help books and pretty much every major website that is devoted to psychiatry or psychology. Overwhelmingly, the number one non-pharmaceutical piece of advice that is given to bipolar folks is to get a routine and stick to it. The best book I read on the subject, Break The Bipolar Cycle, describes BP as an inability to handle stress and...
My mother had a procedure on Friday, and my whole weekend has been wrapped up in staying on top of her post-op med regimen and helping her late at night. I didn’t feel the enormity of the situation until after the procedure, when I had to help her get her clothes on.
My mother is an extremely strong woman, who doesn’t believe in days off. She’s always tackling a project, always...

Tracy McMillan: Why You're Not Married →
Just realized this article is from like, February, but someone posted it on my Facebook stream and I had to respond to it!
It’s been a while since one of these articles about why horrible, selfish career girls aren’t married have been published. I’m so happy we’ve received this gift. Let’s go down this list:
a. Mention of how shitty selfish women are — CHECK!

an update on meds
My winter insomnia, it is back!
I hate routine but my brain seems to fall into it no matter what I do. Every winter I go through this same nonsense. So, I am the kind of lady who can have a very long, full day of activity, eat a dinner full of carbs, take an Ativan, and then remain wide awake.
My other medication got increased and now my body feels so weird; like it is not my own. It’s a...

In any...

365 days.
I can’t be bothered to check the dates on this, but it’s been a year since The Event. The Event changed my life, gave the vague feeling I’ve had in my gut for my whole life a name, and put me on a completely new path. It led to the job at Eden, which has led to many great things.

“Here’s why I live in denial about my fertility. What the fuck am I...”
– The Fertility Denial Complex
This comment sums it up perfectly. What exactly should I be doing to solve this “problem”? And the truth is, deep down, when I think about it, I don’t really want children. I don’t think I could physically or mentally handle a pregnancy. I would...
