Life is BUSY.
Unfortunate timing, as I’m experiencing a distinct funk at present, leaving me utterly drained. I’m an exhausted, heaving assemblage of emotional debris.
I have a residential week at University starting on Monday, (while working at night to keep things at the office on-track). As my dissatisfaction with my current professional role slowly smolders towards [...]

Home, sweet home

I sit down (collapse?) heavily into my favourite leather couch. Unable to entirely set aside my obsessive tendencies, I carefully set down my glass of mineral water on the allotted coaster so I can find it again amid the wreckage of my messy, neglected home. My dwellings have long-learned to adjust to the ebb-and-flow [...]

I frequently wax lyrical about the depths of despair I plummet to when depressed, but there’s a reason I fight the need to medicate my bipolar disorder – mania.
For me, when I’m experiencing it – a manic episode is a beautiful, beautiful thing. For those trying to live with me while I’m experiencing it – [...]

It’s been a tough month.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It’s been almost a month since my last post…
Oi vey! It’s been a rough month. It seems like every little thing has been conspiring against me. The tsunami of desperation has been poised ominously above my head, and every-so-often, come crashing down around my feet.
HATING my job. My [...]

Communicating with meaning is difficult. Concisely? Almost impossible (well *ahem* it is for some of us!).I completed a job application recently which limited the applicant to 350 word responses to the criteria. *ug*.
I was riddled with anxiety. HOW could I explain to these people in just 350 words that I was so much more qualified, [...]

Yes, yes, I’m still here. Thanks for the emails. I’ll do a proper post tonight.
My 2-Minute-noodles took 10 minutes to be ready at lunchtime today.
It’s a microcosm of the sort of week I’m having… The little black dog is nipping at my heels this week. Life seems like too much effort. It’s been hard to get [...]
