Bipolar Swings – Define Depression
Depression is not as simple as “feeling sad”. You can break a smile but still feel empty. I heard someone give me an advice to “cry it out” but there’s nothing coming out. I can’t cry. At times I drift into thoughts where people I love would be better without me. My days of negativity can be burdensome. Why do I do what I do? What is the meaning of life? Why do we even exist? I’m hanging by a thread. This will not last forever. Nothing does. #BeingBipolar is an everyday struggle. When we’re manic, we can be productive, but our inhibitions are low. When we’re depressed, we need to have twice, thrice the…

Understanding Bipolar Disorder – My Story

Life Lately : Of Biglaang Budget Shopping to Deleting Traumatic Memories
It’s always been said that you can never move on something until you accept things as they are. If you’ve been following my blog for sometime now, you may know that some last year, I was able to escape an abusive relationship. You can check out my separate journal entry for that if you’re curious what happened to me. I got an alert from google that my photo storage is about to get full and that I need to delete pictures to retain memory. Sure, no big deal. Until I saw the photos. Deleting each picture made my heart felt like a pin cushion, and each picture deleted is a pin removed. It’s…
Sentimental Sundays – A Confession I’m Letting Out of my Chest
It’s not Sunday I know, I was supposed to publish this on Sunday but I failed the Marshmallow test again. I can never compete with anyone but myself. It’s a battle I’ve had, well we’ve had since we were born. To survive what we call life. I’m 29, a single work at home mom, and struggling. Why struggling? I have to be honest with you, everyone at least. I left my high-paying corporate job not by choice but by force. I was in a highly abusive relationship that left me emotionally and mentally unstable, stacking on top of my bipolar condition. The evil man manipulated me into leaving my job. Now there’s no…
