Gift from Jesus
Out of town this weekend through Tuesday. Family party and psychiatrist appointment on Tuesday. I saw my oldest and closest friend, and it actually helped warm and heal my heart. There is just that much love and connection there.
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for that.
Alive
I’m checking in with you guys.
I’m alive. I’m okay… if I’m describing my emotional state. Maybe a little on the downside. The reason I’ve not written much, however, is due to the chronic physical pain I experience. I had a bit of an accident in the house, and basically everything hurts!
I guess I’m realizing as I type, that truly the pain’s got me somewhat down.
Anyway, I’m okay.
The point of this blog is to capture and share everyday life with these illnesses. Otherwise, there’s no accurate, true representation.
I will try harder to pull it together.
So… how are you? What’s up in your lives?
On Ice
So this is one of the things that impacts my state of mind.
Chronic Physical Pain = Fatigue = Emotional Fallout = Severe Depression.
Icing and medicating my knee and back simply because I went to see a film last night. Tired and feeling like I want to give up.
Shut Up
“Of course,” sarcastically said by the Bipolar who is tired of mental illness being used as the scapegoat… 😣😣😣
On a Common Mood Symptom
Article about hearing hypersensitivity according to mood. I’ve found that to be true. When people are talking and the commercials are blaring on the tv. It’s as if sand paper is scratching at your brain and eardrums. As if, it goes on one more second, your head will in fact blow and where there once was only white walls, now lives white splattered with strawberry jam.

On Genetic Activity – Confused and Noisy
Good article.
“Five major psychiatric diseases have overlapping patterns of genetic activity, new study shows”
On Big Pharma Moves
On Invisibility
On Anguish
“In struggling against anguish one never produces serenity; the struggle against anguish only produces new forms of anguish.” ~ Simone Weil
(Accurate description of anxiety felt with Bipolar Disorder, in my humble opinion and experience.)
