Time to Talk
I’ve made a pledge on the Time to Change website: “I pledge to help end mental health prejudice. I will talk about my own experiences with bipolar disorder and anxiety to help break down stigma.” The project is not only … finish reading “Time to Talk”

One Month Before Heartbreak
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to wrangle my brain to write a proper post of my own on this subject, but I urge everyone to go and read through the posts and links at One Month Before Heartbreak. Just to … finish reading “One Month Before Heartbreak”
Typing + tiredness = not working
Since I’m extremely tired today (I have new medication which is making me drowsy, hopefully just for the adjustment period, and every time I sit down somewhere relaxing I drop off!), I’m not going to say much again. I haven’t … finish reading “Typing + tiredness = not working”

N is for Nothing Much
I seem to have hit the mid-month blogging slump. Although on the plus side, I’ve also reached the middle of the month and I’ve blogged every day. Hooray! Today I went to the Bipolar group / course. Looks like it’s … finish reading “N is for Nothing Much”

C is for (The) Crazy
Or to be a little more politically correct, (my) mental health. I don’t have all that much to say about it, really, but I suppose it has been the reason for my sporadic posting over the ten months or so. … finish reading “C is for (The) Crazy”

Blogathon – sponsorship open til Friday
I’m all recovered from the Blogathon now, having got lots of lovely sleep Sunday night! I’m delighted to report that my sponsorship total is approximately £71 (I’ve been sponsored in pounds, euros and dollars, variously) – so far, that is. … finish reading “Blogathon – sponsorship open til Friday”
48: Q&A – Experiences with diagnosis
lunamorgan asked “What was diagnosis like? How did you get it all sorted, because from what I’ve heard, it’s really hard to get a proper diagnosis of bipolar, what with most people not seeing doctors during manic phases.” There were … finish reading “48: Q&A – Experiences with diagnosis”

46: A bit more on “normality”
Following on from my last post, I thought I’d just write a quick one (I hope!) covering what’s “normal” and not when you have bipolar. In my experience, that is. As I said before, “normal” is when you can function. … finish reading “46: A bit more on “normality””

45: Q&A – How do we know what’s “normal” and what’s not?
Ptyx asked me: How do we know what’s “normal” and what’s not? Before I got started answering that, I thought I’d better make sure I understood what she was asking, since there were a couple of different ways I can … finish reading “45: Q&A – How do we know what’s “normal” and what’s not?”

Which means that I’m not only one post behind. Hooray! Unfortunately, I can’t think of anything to say for this one. How’s everyone else getting on? I was really sorry to see that Renee had needed to get some sleep, … finish reading “43: The Elevenses Post”
41: A knitty post
Since I don’t think I actually posted here when I finally finished Mum’s birthday shawl, I shall do so now! I was almost a year late giving it to her in the end, so instead of it being finished for … finish reading “41: A knitty post”

22: Other Bloggers for Bipolar
I’m not the only person to be blogging for and about bipolar during the Blogathon. There are more people blogging for other mental health issues too. I’ve already linked to a couple, but I’m going to do so again because … finish reading “22: Other Bloggers for Bipolar”
19: Friends and Family: It’s Not Just All About Me
Finally, my first ‘proper’ post on a bipolar related topic! I’ve taken way too long over writing this… I need to speed up for the others! I’ve chosen this one to start with because it got the highest number of … finish reading “19: Friends and Family: It’s Not Just All About Me”
