Its the little things in life that make me truly happy. Little gestures that make me smile and know just how lucky I am. Little things in my every day life that just swell my heart. Here are a few pictures over the past week or so that just made me smile. *Note: The note was next to my computer from my 17 year old daughter* What things made you smile this week? At a friends cabin I spent a lot of time driving yesterday (8 hours) It was a beautiful day for it! And my biggest smile this week was finding this note from my 17 year old daughter next to my computer ..read more

Are you finding yourself not enjoying things that normally bring you joy? Is your sadness deeper than usual? Here are a few of my personal signs that the depression side of Bipolar Disorder has arrived for me. Hopelessness: I feel like everything around me is hopeless, everything I do is hopeless, my future is hopeless. Dread/Disinterest: I have this deep down dread of doing anything outside my home. I have no interest in doing things with my friends, no interest in going to gatherings, and no interest in doing things that I normally take part in. Irritability: I am irritated. Different irrit ..read more

I haven’t been feeling myself for a while. There has been this nagging voice that something is just not right. And no matter how quiet it is or how much I try to completely silence the voice. I can still hear it and it is working itself into a louder and louder sound that is getting harder to ignore. I am not quite sure what it is exactly that I am feeling. I tend to lean towards the fact that it is probably some sort of depression. But I feel like it is much more than that. No signs of mania or even hypomania. I just feel emotional, sensitive, down, and I feel taken for granted. I feel hopel ..read more

I have had this plant for about 10 years now. I have no idea what type of plant it is. It has always just grown with the green leaves and grew long like a type of climbing or vine plant. It has never flowered before. A few days ago one of those little white flowers came out. Today there are three on the same end of the vine. I have no idea why it flowered, but it gives me hope that anyone can bloom or grow if it is just cared for in the right ways ..read more

Writing has always helped to untangle the web of chaos inside my head. I write and form thoughts on paper when I feel like I am unable to form coherent thoughts inside my head. Somehow as my pen works its way across the paper my writing takes shape and makes much more sense than any of my thoughts ever could. I have often said or written about how I write faster or type faster than my conscious mind can think, I sometimes re-read things and wonder when I wrote it, or where the thoughts came from. When I write or read things I can feel the words. I feel the depth of my thoughts after I write th ..read more

I feel like I’m drowning and I am unable to swim strong enough or fast enough to break through the surface Or perhaps I’m falling headed towards the earth at the speed of light and my wings are much to bent to fly I’m suffocating in a tornado of emotions of spinning objects and chaos all around and even with all the air surrounding me, I cannot breathe My mind and emotions are out of control confusion, disorientation, unclarity I no longer know where I begin or where I end ..read more
