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.
Thursday, March 5th, 2020 My first drink on my own I was in grade six. So eleven or twelve. I was a latch key kid and I went home for lunch and sometimes drank out of my dad’s vodka he had under the kitchen sink. I thought it was god […]
Saturday, February 29th, 2020, leap year. Is it weird that I want to hyphenate my name? I mean I have been divorced for 13 years, the same amount of time that I was married. What’s in a name? My kids. I want me to continue having their name. And I […]
Moonlight shines on rich red velvet curtains The room still with only the flicker of candles Heat rises from within Preparing for what would come Silver bracelets adorn her wrists Thick black leather caresses her neck Forced to her knees With her head hung low A submissive pose don’t you […]
February 8th, 2020 I haven’t had a chance to write for a while. I am not sure what happened, but I guess I have been busy most days going out to appointments or over to my mom and dad’s. I haven’t really been feeling creative either. I started talking more […]
Chapter 6 January 30th, 2020 Rebecca. She has no idea what she has done for me. She has woken my spirit. I feel it. Finally, inside. She sent me a link to a video on YouTube; “Aura Cleansing” I am still listening to it. I don’t normally listen to music […]
My Mind is not quiet I’m going to start a riot I can be blind But most often kind I’d like to be normal But that is too formal But you see it in my frown When everything is upside down My thoughts are abundant And maybe a little redundant […]
Two nights ago I was on the computer, It was about 1:00 am. I started feeling tired so I decided to go to bed. Except I actually didn’t take my meds but only realized that at 3 am. Still not sure if I had taken my pills, I took some […]
It was a cold drizzly evening, the rain froze as it made contact on the road and on the parked cars and shimmered in the glow of the street lights. Sammy was getting ready for her MRI for ten-thirty in the evening. Sammy was diagnosed several years ago with Multiple […]
My dear God, I will never un-see what I have just seen. I am not supposed to look or read the news, it is too devastating. My thoughts and prayers go to Australia, their families, their homes, their wildlife, their land. I can’t stop crying. May you be safe. I […]
January 5th, 2020 Wow, I just had a little cry. I saw that I had a new follower on WordPress, so I read a bit of her profile. She struggles with an eating disorder too, but her lengthy post was very positive and made me think about what I am […]
