I love telling stories, but lately I haven’t been able to recall any that I haven’t told before. Then, it dawned on me that I’ve shared bits and pieces about how Maurice and I met and formed our relationship, but I don’t think I’ve told it all in one clear and concise post. If I […]
Wednesday’s Quote: Vincent Van Gogh
I’m doing something a little different this week. Instead of posting one quote, I decided to post this wonderful tribute to Vincent Van Gough. I’ve posted this before, but those of you who know my passion for Vincent shouldn’t be surprised that I decided to post it again. I’m sure I’ll post again in the […]
Writers Block
I normally wouldn’t post that I have nothing to write about… but I do have something to write about and that would be my inability to write. There have been days that its been difficult, but this has been more so. I’m suffering from a case of good old fashioned writer’s block. In addition to struggling […]
Wednesday’s Quote: Terri Cheney
“I actually stopped talking. I actually listened. So I knew that I wasn’t all the way manic, because when you’re all the way manic you never listen to anybody but yourself.” – Terri Cheney
Loneliness
Loneliness has been bugging me lately. It’s a strange thing. I believe, in most peoples head, the word “loneliness” conjures up a picture of a person sitting alone in a room feeling sad. That’s fair.

Wednesday’s Quote: Jane Pauley
I think I’ve posted this before, however, I think it applies to so many of us bloggers that it bears repeating: A diagnosis is burden enough without being burdened by secrecy and shame. – Jane Pauley
Peaceful Easy Feeling
Last week I mentioned that due to a series of panic attacks I did not get an essay turned in, so I did the math and determined that the best final grade I was capable of was a “C”. I discussed this with my professor and he encouraged me to drop the class and take it […]
Wednesday’s Quote: Melody Moezzi
“Telling someone who is manic that she’s manic is like telling a dictator that he’s a dick. Neither is going to admit it, and both are willing to torture you to prove their points.” – Melody Moezzi, Haldol and Hyacinths: A Bipolar Life
It’s All Good
Sometimes I look back on old posts and think I’m very negative. Too negative. Am I really always that miserable? The answer is no. I am not. Oh, I get some fucked up days… many of them, actually, but I probably have more good than bad. At the very least it’s 50/50. This blog is […]
