Buypolar Defense….

I’m truly sick of this nonsense! Chicks, it’s giving all of us a bad, bad rap. What am I talking about? The bipolar (which I from now on will call “buypolar” defense.
How many of us with bipolar disorder live day after day without managing to get our names in the news? Yes, there are times [...]

Depression Is…

 

    

    When Depression Owns the Heart
A depression so deep it finds a way into the Soul,
and travels through every pore of your Heart.
A depression so large it encompasses every bit
of your Reality,
and leaves Reality a cloudy memory.
A depression so dense it compresses every will
you once had,
and bows you down to accept it as it’s own.
A [...]

See ya there…doc

Physicians blamed the delayed care on shrinking budgets that have prompted many hospitals to either consolidate mental health services or shut them down completely.

Well that will get attention. Psych patient left to die. This hellhole is more than likely one of many.
I’m taking that horrific point and running with it…..I wonder what “physicians’” excuses are [...]

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Real Boogeyman…

I’m spittin’ mad. This is bullshit….
The Supreme Court struck down a law that allows the execution of people convicted of a raping a child.
In a 5-4 vote, the court said the Louisiana law allowing the death penalty to be imposed in such cases violates the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual [...]

…don’t get me started

because, as AC would say (and I’ve claimed this as my own) “I’ve got no filter today.”
Well, too late.
This is long; and I’ve got points within points….*that or I’m just really tired*

Life Goes On…..

Numb to real thoughts or emotions. I’m OK with writing silly stuff that doesn’t matter at all in the long run. But, the part of my mind, soul, heart, etc. that means anything is gone/hiding/killed/abducted or something.
And…..”deep breath”……I have kept this to myself because it is the nature of my beast. I had an [...]

Sorry About That

Two weeks ago I was at my neurologist’s office for my check-up. (I’ll leave out my trigeminal neuralgia rant on this guy for now) In the epilepsy department…he does okay.
He talks a lot. He likes to visit. He’s actually a nice guy. I have more of a problem with his office (it’s way [...]

Waiting For The Phone To Ring….

The television is on. The washing machine is running. I’m on the computer. Just an ordinary evening except…..
I’m waiting. Waiting for the telephone to ring. Even though I expect it, I’m sure that the sound will startle me and I’ll jump.
When the call comes it will be to let me know that she’s dead. [...]

Who Killed The Artist?

In my head are the colors,
that run to and fro
and they mix with the voices
i hear way down low
way down at the base
of my brain near the stem
are the voices that live here
inside me, yes, it’s them
They stay with me always
all through the day
and at night, when you think
they’d be put away…
they’re talking, and planning
and [...]

Welcome Aboard the Clue-Wagon

It seemed to me that even the title that caught my eye tonight was toned down, (much like the negative study results):
“Suffering from an Overly Sunny View of Antidepressants?”
“F-no, I’m sure not.” I thought.
I’ll leave it to the experts and cooler heads to analyze and write about this.
“studies on antidepressants showing negative results [...]
