writing

For years, I was stuck inside a body that flinched at the world.

I carried trauma like a second skin — invisible to most, suffocating to me.

I had served in one of Israel’s elite combat units, and I came home with wounds no X-ray could show.

The symptoms were relentless.

Panic attacks that came without warning.

A heart that raced even in silence.

A mind that replayed things I couldn’t talk about — and a body that refused to rest.

I’d lie in bed and stare at the ceiling for hours, wired and exhausted at the same time.

No peace. No quiet. Just static.

At first, I tried to outrun it.

Then I tried to numb it.

And then I broke.

But one day — I picked up a pen.

Not because I thought it would heal me.

Because nothing else worked.

Because I had nothing left to lose.

And something happened.

The page didn’t judge.

It didn’t flinch.

It listened.

The writing didn’t “cure” me.

But it gave the pain a voice.

It let me shape the chaos.

It taught me that stories can hold what bodies cannot.

That was the beginning.

Of healing.

Of reclaiming.

Of finally understanding that I didn’t need to be who I was before the trauma — I just needed to become someone honest about what I carried.

Today, my novel Dog — the book born from that pain — is being published in the United States.

It still stuns me.

I didn’t write it to impress anyone.

I wrote it because silence was killing me.

If you’re out there, stuck between symptoms and shame — I see you.

And I promise: the page is waiting.

Hello friends, I’ve been working on many things lately unfortunately this app I don’t always remember, but I’ve been focusing on other apps besides the Meta platforms because I don’t like some of the chaos going on over there. I penned a blog this morning that is coming up in the next few days over on my website. Also, I did a podcast about a past relationship that is coming up on the 27th on my YouTube channel. I was involved in a Substack controversy which I didn’t go to Substack to be controversial. There’s been a lot going on in my life the past few days, but I’ve been getting through it and life is good today. I’m knitting and enjoying my coffee even though it is very fluently running through me. I’m also looking forward to St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow even though I do not drink anymore my current projects are in a green color way, which is beautiful since the weather is becoming warmer and I am making more and more projects with cotton yarn #knitting #Writing #lifeingeneral

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
