Around this time, every day, I hit bottom. My head spins and feels heavy. I can’t concentrate—everything just feels like too much.
The only thing positive about these episodes is that I know they will be gone in a matter of hours.

Well, not so suddenly by this point, but for the past week or so, I’ve become incredibly paranoid about what I say here. I’ve got approximately 10 posts drafted, but have no intention to share them, at least for today.

I realize that many of the older posts, those originally published on Blogger, are messy and need to be cleaned up. It bugs the hell out of me.
I will not get that done right now, but I will get it done ASAP.

Obviously, that is tomorrow. I celebrate the day like a national holiday, no work, all play; I do whatever I choose, whatever moves me. I don’t necessarily plan ahead, except for a vague outline of the day.
What I am sure of thus far:

That’s the title of Marya Hornbacher’s latest book, with the subtitle “A Bipolar Life”. (It won’t be released until April 9th, but Dan scored me an advanced copy for my diagnosis anniversary.)
In that vein, I stumbled upon the Icarus Project today. I just discovered it wihle looking for ideas for my first tattoo, and [...]

I’m considering stopping my injections of Rebif. I know I probably “shouldn’t” but fuck, if i have to do them myself, I’d just rather find an alternative. I’m thinking that a monthly treatment, Tysabri or Low Dose Novatrone.
So, I’m trying to read up on both of those as a primary treatment. I know they are [...]

. . . and I found myself on Purtek’s blog this afternoon.
I can’t recollect that I’d been there before, but I also question my memory because it’s exactly the type of blog I would visit.

I have been away, if not physically, then mentally, since Christmas.

I’ve been neglecting this space, but it is only because I have been insanely busy with work. In the immediate future, I will continue to be this busy, if not more.

In the meantime, join the SWOP East team [...]
