Still here, just tired
Yup, I’m still around; I’ve just been too tired to blog lately. It is several hours before my usual bedtime, but I am already seriously considering crawling under my covers. The good thing is that so far I still haven’t gotten the flu that everybody else has. Exhaustion is better than exhaustion plus vomiting plus headache, but it still kind of sucks. I tried to fight the tiredness for a few days by not taking my meds exactly as prescribed, which was a poor idea, because it didn’t bring me back to normal, it just propelled me into a Zoloft-induced state of wakefulness where I felt like jumping out of my skin but I didn’t actually accomplish anything. I’ll take sleep instead of that, thank you very much. I don’t usually get enough sleep, so I just have to keep reminding myself that a temporary surplus of it is A Good Thing.

Here’s hoping you don’t end up getting the flu. Good luck. The flu sucks.

Most of you know me as “Dreamwriter.” I recently
Launched a new blog called, “Bipolar Speaks.” One day something came over me as I was reading websites called “Post Secret” and also a blog who had a post where they had quotes from other Bloggers with mental illness about how they felt.
It occurred to me that WE need an escape to let out our feelings and frustrations. I know that a lot of bloggers say what they feel within their own blogs, but you are welcome to share your thoughts, opinions, and feelings.
You are welcome to help raise awareness and put a stop to the Stigma that lies within mental illness. We can change the world - one story at a time.
I thought it would be interesting
To design a “Safe Haven” for those who battle with a Mental Illness; and allow them to come and let out their most darkest, painful, and emotional feelings. This would be a great way to spread awareness by letting society know what is REAL about mental illness.
If you are interested, you can submit a story or short piece as an “Anonymous” contributor, or if you don‘t care about what others think, then feel free to reveal your blogger identity; its purely up to you.. I tried this several times and the “Anonymous” button works and ends up in my email as an “Anonymous” comment.
The rules and regulations are in the blog within a post. Take the time to read them thoroughly and I hope that you become a constant contributor.
Remember, we all have things on our chest to let out and we all truly don’t want others to know. But now is an opportunity for YOU to speak up, speak out, and be heard!
I know that I have a lot of feelings and issues that I don’t want my husband, friends, or family to know about…this is my chance to get it off my chest and I WILL be a constant contributor.
Depending on the issue, I might submit the story under both “anonymous” and my name.
Go to “Bipolar Speaks” and look around, don’t forget to display the Bipolar Speaks button on your blog and link it back to us.
By the way, I still have my other blog, so don’t forget about me over there, too.

Hi. Can you help me? I’m trying to find (real) helpful, valuable resources for a family struggling and in a bit of denial at the moment. I am a child and youth worker…and they’ve been through the gambet. Any suggestions?
