I started blogging in 2021 with the intention of creating a scrapbook if you will of all my thoughts and feelings about different things I have experienced and if my Bipolar had any influence on my perspectives and opinions. I found that writing was the best way to cope with my extremes of Bipolar as it occupied my mind and focused my attention on the writing and away from the nonsense that I had reverberating around my head. It started with only a solitary word that I wrote but I was thinking about the words and not the nonsense in my head. Slowly the one word became 2, which then became 3 and so on until I was writing full sentences. From these I tried to make a paragraph out of them and join them together as best I could as they weren’t really in a narrative that was comprehensible to understand. Since this I have written 27 songs about Bipolar and associated things that it brings. I have written 3 short books too. I’m under no illusion about these being any good or great pieces of work but I am proud of myself for doing it. I’m an example of how you can make a negative situation become a positive one. I don’t have the answers for anything about Bipolar Disorder but I do have some insight into how to deal with things that I can offer to help others. I have been a far worse person than most people, meaning that I can help others and relate with them in their journeys, as I’ve come back from the abyss and I can now tell the story of how I attempted to get out of it, and maybe even give someone a chance to do it too.
My blog is a collection of accounts of Living with Bipolar Disorder, explanations of the medication used, links to the 3 books I wrote, funny bipolar memes, quotes from a selection of people, a lot of philosophy of the great Alan Watts (someone I highly regard and someone I relate to completely), songs of the day, music polls, stories of my escapades and shenanigans, Fight Club influenced perspectives on different topics, I have actually written a narrative using quotes from the film Fight Club that forms a different narrative all on its own that I’m pretty proud of, it’s pinned on my home page so it’s the first thing that you see.

I’ve attempted to write a book about my bipolar perspectives on life and living with bipolar along with my opinions on the world in general. I know that they’re not the best or the most interesting books to read but I have now written three books on the subject. They are all short in terms of what a book generally is but they are all about how I felt at the time. If you would like to read them I have attached a link below for you to download them off my blog. If you are interested in reading them I am very grateful for your interest 👌
I am a former teacher and somewhat new writer who covers topics related to mental health. Hello. Believe it or not, I have social anxiety and find writing sometimes easier--even though I worked in front of many people all the time. Dachshund fan.#Depression #Anxiety #Writing

Me personally, I love watching western movies, 80's movies (Molly, Ally, Judd, Demi) reading a lot and writing ( Only in Spanish) I got the book Untamed, the one that Adele made so famous. I also like the IATA posts for some reason. I started going out for walks again, for health related issues.
I enjoy time with my daughter and my animals ( 2 cats and 2 dogs) I just have this one friend who lives in Chile.
And also, I'm discovering skin care products. Some days I don't do anything related to the things I mentioned, but it's good to have options.
I hope your day is good, I hope you are the getting the love and support you deserve.
Rox.
I’m sorry this is late in the day.
