This is just a quick and undeveloped brain fart. Not finished of course... _ An image prompt is a common exercise for writers. One takes a random image and writes something about it. It must be a very brief writing. Here are just two I did as a drill. First the image then the...

Sleepy.

Today I began reading a new novel:

I do not know and I rather not think of what might happen.

I see a psychiatrist once a month. I've been with him for at least 8 years now. He is a specialist - a diplomat in the field of Psychiatry. I am disabled so the government helps me with cost both for doctor visits and the very high cost of medication. But my main source of aid is my family. They...

Panic attacks are the worst. I use cognitive exercise: breathing very deeply and very slowly as I take a brisk walk around the block. I try to think of calming places like a beach setting or humming a relaxing tune in my head as I experience the dreadful attack. I also take meds for the...

Good! I do the same with my writing.

Anxiety is a mental disorder, absolutely! I have that junk too. Bipolar disorder, Anxiety and ADHD round out my main mental issues. Other crap like thyroid and blood pressure problems are forcing my doctors (altogether) to prescribe me tons of pills. I take 16 dosages of medications...

I'll say this, as far as a cure is concerned there is a current project in Australia working with Cystic Fibrosis. Basically what they are doing is seeing if they can reprogram DNA and unsupress or resupress genes that lead to the patterns that cause genetic illness. Bipolar is a genetic...

Very destructive indeed! I can't tell you how many times (I've lost count) I have been hauled away by cops to the ward - cuffed, double-locked. If you never felt dreadful fear for your life, hang out at your local mental ward for a day or two. While in those places I was SCARED SHITLESS for...

As for the woman who might not be taking meds I will say this: It would be impossible for me to function without my drugs. My medication is like oxegen - I can't live without it. Also, some doctors say that yes that there is a thin line between schizphrenia and bipolar disorder while others...

Important to understand: Madness is craziness caused by a medical condition whereas craziness is not. So when I enter a manic episode I am becoming mad (or madness). Whereas going crazy is just, well, going nuts without having a medical condition.

I was dignosed with Bipolar Disorder 13 years ago and been able, thanks to doctors and tons of medications, to keep this evil monster under control for the most part. If it was not for the medication, my oxygen, I would live in blackness each minute of every horrific day. I had such a a very...

Yes I've been there at least once. :P (look where I'm from beneath my avatar) :giggle: Check out Lincoln Road, lots of cool shops and great food; tons of hard bodies walking to and fro too. (Just keep your belonging within eye shot, and please don't talk to strangers!!) Also don't be...

If I were to own a dog, he/she would be a mean mother: A Pitbull or Rottweiler with strong muscles and sharp teeth will suffice. :cool2:

Cat's, if you haven't heard, love to eat fish. In the ocean my felines will have a feast. Just make sure they are wearing their scuba gear. :laugh2: Now if Jaws sneaks up on them, their nine lives will be swallowed up in one gulp. :eek3: I like dogs too. They can be trained to sniff out...

Insomnia, again! I stayed up last night reading and writing as normal. I added two new scenes to my story (a short novel...maybe longer) and brushed up older ones. I am construction a story skeleton or outline. Once that's finalized, I'll then put some meat on the bones by injecting all...

Note: I am being playful with this thread. :-) With ALL the certications in pocket and a college degree as an ASL terp, will my family (future tense) have gourmet food on the table or just bread and water (and hungry tears)? Another Note: Heck I'll translate for free...I am just a little...
