Being Nice Is Screwing Up My Life!

This is another update to the SIL Post.
Y’all made me do some self-assessment thinking with your comments and encouragement to help crack-head, dillusional, grief stricken SIL.  I let myself be swayed by the image in my head of birds singing, butterflies landing on my shoulders, rainbows in a clear blue sky, and the voice of [...]

pharm-party: everyone welcome

In case some of you missed it, please read an informative post at Furious Seasons about the drug industry’s involvement with The American Psychiatric Association.
There is also mention of what may be a newsflash to some of you; the DSM-V and the slime (my words) who have a hand in writing it. (I’m sure that [...]

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 [...]

What A Wicked Web We Weave….

I wish I was a spider
weaving a web of delight
weaving it in the daytime
weaving into the night
I’d weave a web so intricate
I’d spell your name in my silk

you’d melt with my caliber of ilk
So spin your yarn as I spin too
my web of delight as I go
you never knew [...]

Life Changing

Stephany mentioned an article that came out in the Official Journal of The American Academy of Pediatrics (she linked to it, so I won’t) that was about *my words* the feeding of anti-psychotics to kids. Many most of whom aren’t mentally ill, and not the least bit psychotic. (They probably need a time out [...]

Someone Kill Me Please

This_isn’t_going_well
It is 4am, I’m “importing” our blog….uncool. Now I seem to look as if I am the author of all of our posts. The author names did not transfer over… (evidently the program cannot do that, now I am the fucking program)…and that is just for the ones that are importing, key word “are” [...]

Negligent or Ignorant?

I’m talking about our doctors. I can’t decide if the majority are ignorant and don’t educate themselves in the drugs they give or or if they are negligent and don’t give a rat’s ass what they give us.
