TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

Mandatory Two Week Break from Blogging… and Most Other Things… Doctor’s Orders…

So,,, being Bipolar means sometimes you are manic and sometimes you are depressed and sometimes you are both. And sometimes you need to stop the stimulation from so many things and get threatened with hospitalization. I am not the fun, spendthrift, creative, on-top-of-the-world-manic but the irritable, really-can’t-do-this-anymore, depressed manic who is just barely functioning. I no longer know what I am doing. For example, I have bought so many bottles of the same things, my husband pointed out, that both of us will be dead before they are used up.

And, so, I am not to blog (and other things) at all for two weeks. I might peek at your posts but can’t do any responding or posting. A post will appear Labor Day weekend because that was written a long time ago and scheduled to go live by itself. I will answer any comments when back. Will be very curious about you all and your posts. It is a truly good group of people… the WordPress Bloggers. And I will miss most of you very much.

Happy Labor Day weekend!

  11. Take care. Hope to see you soon. I too have had to stop posting and reading as I am presently travelling from place to place, which is pretty exhausting! Indeed, as you rightly say, Word Press is a nice place to be!

    • Thank you, Margaret. I am treading carefully. Need some more time but am planning a very revelatory post this month sometime. You might understand it. Few will. Anyhow enjoy your posts. You seem a lot stronger than I am. I think you don’t think of yourself as strong but you are.

        I don’t for one second believe I’m stronger than you are. You’re still here and still fighting… you’re just in a challenging season right now but you will move past it. I’ll be thinking of you while you’re taking some time out x

      • Thank you! But if I am remembering correctly, you have children. Something that beyond my capabilities plus with all the mental illness in my family and my husband’s, I didn’t want to bring someone into the world who would possibly suffer worse than I or my husband have. I feel supremely blessed to have married such a wonderful man… a retired psychiatric social worker and musician with a heart of gold.
