Welcome to my blog. I have been journal writing for years. I took a course in Creative writing and found I enjoy writing short stories and poetry. I write more when I am hypomanic or manic.
I went into Rehab for Alcohol Addictions and have been sober for fourteen years.
Shortly after I quit drinking I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2, I have since been diagnosed with Bipolar 1.
I enjoy talking about my story, for people to learn or relate. I try and have a healthy lifestyle and try to use my coping strategies. Life is just too boring without Bipolar, it is a blessing but yet sometimes a curse.
I am currently working on a book and dream of publishing one day.
I am so excited to have found Wordpress.
This is my new adventure.
She wakes up in the morning, slightly lost and slightly distraught. She misses her wings that come from just one sip. It brings her comfort and warmth like that of a long-lost friend. Memories to hold tight she takes another sip of the warm rich soothing drink as she remembers […]
Well hello. The usual, it has been a long time since I have posted. Perhaps it is overindulgence in making music, perhaps it is a coping strategy or perhaps it is the first time in my life that I feel included, accepted and celebrated. Maybe that is the real pull […]
It was the final straw. I hit rock bottom. More than depression (which is bad enough) but suicidal ideation. For those 15 minutes alone, for that 10-minute call with the distress center, with letters written to my doctors, with a message sent out to kids reaching for support. It finally […]
This is an original I wrote after my friend said change is coming soon my friend. It has had a great impact on me. It isn’t always what you are looking for but at the end of the day , change only comes from within. VERSE 1 Running, running, running […]
I am really appreciative of my followers, I find it very therapeutic and I hope I can help others by being honest. Also, when I write things become clearer, I send myself unconscious support, and I recognize things about myself when I write. I learn from it. And that is […]
Photo :shuttestock.com -Google search for butterfly pics Well, this year has almost gone by already. This year has been difficult, as everyone says at the end of the year. I don’t normally do that but it has a positive side to things too. I had cancer, follicular lymphoma, and discovered […]
I have yet to let you hear me. Here is a video of last now. This song bears a lot of emotion for me. I am a new guitar player since Jan 2022. SO far I am self-taught, and now getting mentored by several musicians. This song is a heartbreaker. […]
My Life Has Significantly Changed. October 25th, 2022 I do have a lot of things to post, I keep starting and then have to stop because of one thing or another. I don’t have enough time in my day they say, but I can’t /don’t /won’t moderate things. I have […]
When darkness falls upon me And the chatter is so mean Everything you have seen Just please stay right beside me Gather your arms around me When darkness falls upon me Far from me, I will always hide When darkness falls upon me. Shelter me from the shadows Trouble tricking […]
I am not sure if writing this will indicate freedom. Freedom comes in many forms. One of my favorite forms of freedom is about myself, and myself giving me freedom, not externally all the time. I am not perfect, I have no intentions of being perfect, in fact, I celebrate […]
