Oops! I forgot!

I cancelled the Staff Wellbeing Services appointment. My head is smooshed from today’s appointment and I’m in no mood yet for counselling. Especially when it involves five hours on a bloomin’ bus. Anyone would think we lived in the bloody outback or something.
So no, tomorrow I rest up and enjoy a rare and precious day [...]

Update

The psychiatrist just visited. She rang me with twenty minutes notice and we cleaned the house in a frenzy. Thank heavens for going-too-fast combined with obsessive cleaning needs. It looked beautiful.
But yes, Bipolar II, although I think we knew that anyway, didn’t we?
Relieved, exhausted and yet strangely calm sums it up for me right now. [...]

Stressed? You will be…

I woke up this morning and felt like my body didn’t belong to me. I was having to deliberate about each footstep and mentally tell myself what to do next. Even for really simple things like washing my hair. I just tried to call my friend, and she’s one of those people whose number I’ve [...]

Move over, Britney, it’s Amy’s turn…

I know that ‘column inches’ are literally used to calculate the media impact of certain stories. Occasionally you see counts where rather than inches, specific words are counted instead. This week the adjective du jour
appears to be ‘troubled’. Which of course means heavy-drinking/ drug-abusing/ victim of abusive spouse/mentally ill or all of the above.

So typical

I started this blog with the brave intention of chronicling everything that was going on, charting my moods, sharing my wisdom and all the rest of it, and it didn’t happen. There are a number of reasons, all valid in their own ways, but mostly it was just due to me being totally knackered by [...]

Crazy but it feels alright…

It seems that world and his pop-psychologist wife are all speculating as to whether or not Britney Spears’ recent and well-publicised ‘erratic’ behaviour might be symptoms of her suffering from bipolar disorder. I guess it’s possible; I mean, who am I to judge. I guess it makes a change from people in the public eye [...]

Are you sitting comfortably?

This is the first one. Except, it’s not really the first one. But it’s the one that officially marks the beginning. I realised while I was writing up my daily journal entry on moodtracker.com that my entries were getting longer and longer and less objective and thus a dedicated place to put all my psychological [...]

Seeking more space…

Slept late due to late night the night before, woke up feeling quite fuzzy. Went to town with Alma and bought things I did need (pyjamas for Thailand) and things I didn’t need (slutty shoes and more ‘bargains’ from Claire’s. And Sangria and pizza) Feeling very jolly indeed, me and Alma laughed lots and by [...]

Lost in time

Quieter day; physically very tired after trip to Manchester. Went to see Dr Lovely, was feeling OK but could feel myself getting overexcited. Had a quiet day out in town, sat by the sea and read – this was good for me, I think. Satisfied need for Acquiring New Things by joining the town library [...]
