Yes, yes.  I know.  How often does our blood boil when someone asks us how we are doing, and we simply answer, “I’m fine.”  Well, I am here to tell you that answer is…actually, quite “fine.”  I swear.  Cross my fine little heart. I’m not sure how many of you have seen this film I [...]

Don’t Just Sit There! Do Something and Feel Better!

Right.  That one about, in doing something, even if it’s microscopic, it will make you feel better.  Not today.  Maybe I’m just tired. Right.  That one about making excuses.  Trying to ignore the fact that the above drives you completely bonkers at times? It feels like it’s constantly being rammed down your throat, like so [...]

I Think It’s Time to Go Back to The Med Blogosphere

February 19, 2011 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Blogging, Boring Posts, BPD, Cranky, Cutting, Eating Disorders, Health, Medicine, Meds, PTSD and Dissociative Disorders, Seizures, Therapy, Uncategorized

I’ve wanted to for so long.  I’ve been preaching it for so long.  I was there for so long before this blog took so many crooked turns and ended up here. The Med Blogosphere is safer.  Science. Not that Psych and Med can’t be combined. Lately, things have been nothing but pain. Maybe we all [...]

Just When I Try to Start Reading Blogs Again?

I’ve just gotten home from a really exhausting, anxiety-provoking, off-kilter…you know it…  Days. I didn’t even know if I could pull it off, but no choice! Hobble, hobble to Non-Arsey Neuro! I forgot some forms for the stoopid guvmunt when I saw him the other day.  When I called this morning, “Come in anytime! He’s [...]

Sometimes You Just Gotta Crash

Which apparently I am not doing so successfully.  I took a Valium earlier.  Pfft.  Then I took some Gravol.  Self-medication, anyone? Well, trust me.  After the last 72hrs, you’d be doping your own heads up with anything you could get your grubby (or clean) little hands on! It is truth and not rumour, that I [...]

Looking Out for Number One

Why do we have such a problem with this? Why can some of us never do this? If we’re such stigma busters, why do we find it so easy doing it for others, but not for ourselves? All we may end up doing is busting our own teeth to bits of dental shrapnel with steel [...]

Can We Cross Our Own Personal Boundaries?

This thought came to me today.  In a rather abstract fashion? Actually, pretty much everything’s rather “abstract” in my world, right now.  I’ve found myself in quite a state (again.)  And so it goes…? Indeed.  If only it didn’t have to go…anywhere? Except away! I’m working on that, though.  I’m fucking drowning, and if I [...]

Treat Every Day As If It Were Your Last

Ah, that old cliche.  Do any of us want to hear it? It popped into my head this afternoon, though. I’ve been kind of sick, lately.  However, more than “kind of” today! My gastro symptoms have come back with a vengeance.  I’m actually quite amazed how much, in fact.  I am in so much pain, [...]

Are Too Many Emotions Too Much to Handle?

January 29, 2010 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, BPD, Head Injury, Health, Medicine, Neat Neuro Stuff, PTSD and Dissociative Disorders, Therapy, You Decide

Yes, that question may seem rather academic, however, in asking it (and thinking about it), I wanted to become more “academic!” *laughing* In my “findings” and “highly authoritative opinion,” the answer is: YES! *grins* My jumping off point was really about processing your emotions, while simultaneously having to engage your brain in other activities.  I [...]

Every once in a while I get these certain types of emails.  I don’t know if any of you readers who blog do, as well.  If so, you know how they go: ” Dear <Insert Blog Name>, …blah…blah…useless…random…crap…nice…spelling…mistake… blah…blah…we…love…you… Signed,” Yep, sometimes they don’t even bother to put a name.  Those are the ones that [...]
