People often compare Bipolar to riding a roller coaster. For some of us, the roller coaster may lead to one of those drop tower rides before it gets back on the roller coaster.

Repost from 2022

One thing I am always upfront about is my struggle with bipolar disorder. In recent years I've found myself drawn to restoration videos on YT. Be it paintings, tools, toys or whatever. Lately I've wondered why.

Restoration takes something damaged or ruined and patiently brings it back to an acceptable condition. Watching these reminds me that, however broken I feel, it can be repaired and restored. And somehow, that helps.

Seriously, people. Think before you speak. Have enough common sense and respect to those of us or here who are mentally I'll and struggle every day. Your comments are gross and uncalled for. Please change this behavior or, you know, continue and we'll know you're an asshole.

Despite the long and stressful day yesterday, only one bipolar cycling event and it was minimal.

I cooked dinner tonight. First time since last weekend. Progress.

I want to thank the well wishers from yesterday. It helped. I wish our health care system was better. That's where I should be for a while,

This has been one of my worst days in decades. If we had decent insurance or the money to cover it, I would have checked myself in.

Today's ability to function brought to you by clonazepam.

Written for their grandparents, Larkin Poe tackles in a powerful song, "Mad As A Hatter".

Please don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine. (let me keep what's mine)
Please don't come for me
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time
(let me have some time)
Please don't come for me
Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter...

Just gonna put this out there:
"Hi Ren" makes me squirm.
Powerful.


It's very depressing living in a country where
- prominent people want you outlawed
- prominent people call for your murder
- parts of the government agrees with the prominent people
- parts of the gov. actively attempt to eliminate you
- political agendas come before the people's well-being
- you can't afford physical health care
- you can't afford mental health care
- you can't afford to live

Four day weekends are a double edged sword. You get more time with your family/friends but that first normal day is hard. You can take off your caretaker mask and fall apart some.
