I’m sorry. I’m not ignoring anyone. I’m just so depressed. I can’t get out of bed most of the time. I don’t shower very often. I don’t know how long this post will be. I see all your messages and I’ll get to them soon. All I do is cry now. I can’t decide if … More Still Here…
Ready. Set. Sail! So….I’m still waiting on some more responses from people. Let friends and family know. It’s been two months and I’ve only received a question from one person. I’ll give people until the end of this month. This is really disappointing guys. Not gonna lie.
Ready, Set, Sail! Hey there everyone. I’m back with a quick update: not much going on. Honest to Christ stability is so boring sometimes. Does anyone else get that feeling?

Ready. Set. Sail! Hey there. I know. I’m sorry. I said that I was going to reveal the big reveal on Friday. Now you’re mad. And now I’m in trouble. By the way I had a dream about the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones last night. I don’t even watch that show. What … More What The F***?

Hi. I’m back. Well this is awkward. Akward? Awwkwaaard? I don’t know how to spell it. Leave me alone! Sorry, I should probably give some context. I’m extremely depressed. I need help. I got a new job a few weeks ago and in my hypomanic attempt to be the best employee possible I think I … More Depressed
Hey, I probably should’ve said this forever-ago but I’m taking a hiatus from blogging. Not trying to copy anyone else but yeah I’m kinda over blogging. But it’s better than writing about the birds and the rainbows and bullshit. That’s boring. If I feel like coming back I will. But I got nothing to … More A Now A Word From Our Sponsor…
Ready. Set. Sail! There’s this weird unsteadiness I get whenever I think about my blog. It feels almost unnecessary but at the same time crucial to the bipolar community. I write mostly about a symptom hardly anyone on the planet has. Heck, some days, I don’t even believe it. Maybe I’m just weak. Maybe it’s … More Feeding The Fire: New Year, Same Issues
Ready. Set. Sail! HOLD UP! Before we go anywhere, I’d like for you to go to the comments section below and catch me up on what’s going on in your life.
