Coming back from the other side of my Bipolar Wonderland through medication, creativity, and moxie.
I’m on a boat!
No, really. I’m on a cruise. So! This is a pre-written post whilst I am on holiday with my Darling Wife and the in-laws!
So, while I’m gone for six days and seven nights, or something like that, I thought I’d run through a few of my favorite coping mechanisms.
Today’s is the primary one: me
I’m getting ready for my holiday with my wife and the in-laws so… I’ll see y’all in a week!
Hydrate, take your meds, and be awesome.

2 Days Till the Cruise!
Quick entry because almost midnight and I’m exhausted.

Second day at work went well despite being absolutely exhausted. I had endless nightmares last night.
12,407 Days Alive
Today was the first day at the new job. It was really cool! I think I’m really going to like this job and I look forward to more training and finding my rhythm at the new place.
I’ve got a massive headache from what is likely caffeine withdrawal, so I’m going to bed.
I’ll write more tomorrow.
Take your meds folks.

Today was my last day at the University. It was bittersweet as hell. My coworkers threw me a little going away party and I, thank my not waterproof eyeliner, did not cry!

I’m exhausted and in agony, so this will be brief.

Two days left of my job at the University. Thanks to my anti anxiety medication, I made it through the day without getting violently ill.
Doubly impressive as I was still in shadow headache territory.

Today was not a great day. Woke up with a headache that quickly turned into a left eye haloed migraine. I was at work.
I was allowed to leave once I was safe to drive.

I had a lovely meal with my cousin Kae this evening. But I still feel absolutely drowning in anxiety.

A lot going on for the next fortnight. And I am scraping the bottom of the barrel for the energy for it.

I’m so glad it’s Thursday. Tomorrow is payday, which I’m also thankful for. And I’m thankful I can crawl into bed in about 20 minutes. I’m thankful for Sara who gave me an early birthday gift that included little Strigi the golden owl. I’m grateful my coworkers were bittersweet about my leaving next Friday for my new job.
I’ll miss them, but I’m thankful for the new adventure.
I’m thankful for my wife and Tink. For my friends like J, Bill6, Themis and Jay, Vera, DW, and Leo. For my godfather and my Chosen Family. My clan, such as it were. I’m thankful for my family who have been remarkable in my time of need when Daddy passed.
Take your meds, folks. Even when you don’t want to take them.
