Christie F.

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.

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 […]

June 2022 – Freedom?

Labradorite And The Moon-June 2022

Sunday, MAy 29th, 2022

Almost time to mow my lawn. I just found out the city actually encourages No Mow MAy. SO I haven’t mowed my lawn yet- which is what I do every year. The idea or purpose of it is to encourage bees and other insects to live, to have food after […]

A Gift For Me Too

Take it or leave it Is how I see it. Filled with despair Something funky in the air You turn your back When everything goes black When I need you most All you do is boast I have talents too you see I really love being me And our world […]

Update: April 9th, 2022

It has been a very difficult week for me. On April Fool’s Day, I got a call from the dr who arranged the biopsy on my lingual lymph node which is enlarged.  “I have referred you to the Cancer Clinic,” says the doctor. It is very strange because all I […]

March 28, 2022-What If

What would you do if you were told you had 6 months to live?  It’s the question I am asking myself after going through several tests due to “my lump”. Back in January, I noticed I had a lump; I kind of understand it is there to help fight infection. […]
