 I haven’t talked much about my hospital stay earlier last year except in some oblique references to some changes in my medications and just saying I was “institutionalized” for a stint. During my stay from April until June I not only got to go to the psych ward during my psychotic episode, but also be treated for a [...]

Happy Valentine’s day all. Ah, a day of love, inspiring that. It’s odd spending Valentine’s Day without an object of affection anywhere to be seen.  I am celebrating  my birthday in grand style on the 14th, so I won’t spend the day alone, anyway.  I’m having some friends over for a seafood feast of crab legs, [...]

I Made It

 If Sylvia Plath was right about anything in her short life, it is that you never know, never can tell just when the bell jar is going to descend and everything is suddenly going to go quiet. I narrowly escaped a hospital bed this time, but feel like it was by some miracle. I made a few [...]

Unblue Christmas

This is truly the season that taxes the souls of the bipolar and the mood disordered. Even “normal” people find this time of year to be a psychic burden needing if not Herculean strength to get through it all- then at least a steady supply of prescription drugs (alcohol will do for most) to [...]
