I Am Still Here and I Am Not

I figured that would be a suitable Post Title on the heels of the last? I don’t know what the hell I’m doing right now.  Falling back into the trap of staring at baby MacBook all day? I haven’t hit my night yet and I haven’t opened any apps…so?
Why am I making this Post? Because [...]

This morning I found out that I was considered for an award, and received an “Honorary Mention” from Psych Central. If you haven’t heard of them, they are pretty awesome. They have been recognized and received accolades themselves. I should have blogrolled them ages ago, but PA can be a little bit [...]

Ending the Cycle of Abuse

October 26, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Therapy, You Decide

I have discussed this topic with my sister who is five years my senior.  In fact, we have discussed it many times.  We both have a complete: “The buck stops here!” attitude about it, actually.  However, there are multiple, marked and varied factors at play for both of us.
Even though we both suffered the same [...]

BAD, BAD Seizure!

Alright, let’s move back a bit to the beginning of my day, prior to when I exploded last night.  Something was desperately wrong with me.  I felt like I was permanently living in a state of Orthostatic Hypotension.  I was so dizzy, felt so faint, and like you could knock me over by simply blowing [...]

New MP3

I seem to be in a bit of a blogging funk, which is fine.  It happens.  I’ve been trying to do a bit more personal writing, but I’m not so sure I’m producing much there, either! At least I’m thinking about it, though.  However, I still don’t want my blog to go “stale.”  Things just [...]

Stop the Presses! I’m Eating! And Toe Tapping to A New MP3 Too!

No, I’m serious.  This is actually worthy of “Breaking News!”
My body is weird.  At least from the inside.  I think it’s alright from the outside? *shrug* Still, I don’t eat.  This can be traced back to a variety of reasons.  However, in the immediate, it has tended to work “backwards” in a certain way regarding [...]

Some Sobering News

October 13, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Migraines, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, Self Medication, Therapy

After yesterday’s and last night’s excursion through an inexplicable form of mental illness torture, I did actually get a migraine.  Now, I’m not going to rant and complain and go all wingy, as in the last few posts prior to this one.  No, I have settled down somewhat.  I am now experiencing some other inexplicable [...]

What’s Left Then?

Well, the ADD is all pervasive.  It never leaves.  I could wake up with another Migraine From Hell tomorrow but we’ll have to wait for that?
So, within one bloody, fucking day, we’ve (I’ve?) managed to go through all of all my diagnoses.
This is some kind of record.  No.  It is a record.  This makes no [...]

I Am Very Scared Right Now

I’m sure I’ve felt this scared at some point in my life before.  Perhaps? Maybe? I don’t know.  Perhaps not.  All I know is that I am very, very scared right now.  I was chatting with a couple of bloggers last night, and emailed another one this morning who have gotten various bits of this [...]

A Bit More Change, A Bit More Me

Take a look at my outermost sidebar.  Notice anything different?
Just something for people to have a gander at, if they choose? It’s all true, I swear! Plus, if you like legalese, it’s all there with the rollover! Apologies for the graphic.  Hard to display “white on white.”  I didn’t really want to muck about with [...]
