Free Falling Into The Darkness

I am sorry for the lack of posting lately, as I think I mentioned in my last post I am ~~slipping~~ ~~sliding~~ free falling into another depression, which in part means I am pretty withdrawn from the world. I mean even with going to work, I may be out of the house (even though it is really the last thing I want to be) but I am just going threw the motions with a fake mask of if not happiness (as I am all to aware that said mask sometimes fails) of at least thing being all ok and good over all, even though in reality they are not. How ever underneath that mask I am more detached from everything that is going on around me and even any conversation I may (or may not be
having) as for it to seem to be going on in a separate world one that dose not really pierce into the one that I occupy, it feels the best I can manage to put it like you are almost dead like one is caught in between the world of the living and the world of the dead, but you are more dead then alive. Not only that but I also no longer really fallow anything let alone news and politics, as it all just seems pointless and even though when the times are good it is a passion of mine, like everything now it brings no joy into my life, and I simply no longer have the emotional or mental energy let alone will to devote any time to it. Even my YouTube subscriptions go pretty much unfollowed, as to watch them just consumes energy that I no longer posses, and they almost never bring any joy or light into my life, and if they due it is a torturous one that simply shows that what is no longer a part of my existence.

What all of this means is that I don't have any of the sorts of drive and inspirations to write about important events, activism or even social issues at all. Instead all I am left with if anything at all is relatively dark and unpleasantness that populates my existence, my mind and my soul, and is not something I think that any of you would really understand let alone want to hear about, so instead I don't blog. I don't want to be a appointment's to my followers but I also can't promise the sort of blogs that you guys want or would want to read. As much as I wish that I could promise that I will come up with something or that I will be back at it soon but I can't, as when I have to struggle to find the energy to find the will to keep living, I simply can't promise anything to any one as I don't even know that I will be able to keep it.

The Temptation Of The High

While being balanced mode wise is something that is good and something that I am glad to be, although I do wish that my medications made me feel less drained like I have been dragging a heavy weight around with me while I do things, in part because my mind seems to be sort of slow and just not totally with it at times leaving it to take a lot of energy to concentrate and get things done and that mental energy also has a physical manifestation as well, and is what tends to make me feel the most drained. while it is good to be balanced it is hard to not want to have a taste of the forbidden fruit that I have been brought down from having a minor taste of and that is to be on the more manic side of things. It is times like this when I know that the meds are keeping me from an amazing natural high, that it is so tempting just to stop taking my medications.

Mental Health Awareness

As some of you may or may not know May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and as such I thought I would write a blog post to try and help do my part to help raise awareness, and end the stigma of mental illness. I also hope to show provide some hope in the process. As many of you already know I have a mental illness, and that is Bipolar Disorder, which I was diagnosed with only relatively recently, about a year ago, although I have had it for a nice chunk of my life. It is something that while I am still just in the beginning stages of starting to understand and control, I don't feel that it is something that I should have to be ashamed of or have to worry about others finding out about it. unfortunately though there is quite a large amount of stigma that surrounds mental illness especially "serious mental illness", which they are for those that suffer from them (and those close to them as well) unfortunately though it also makes it sound scarier t...

The Attacks Start At the Last Minute

With only a week left until ballots mail out in Washington state, Protect Marriage Washington has started airing their first ad in what is doubtless to be a series of ads to run threw the election on Nov 6. as the Seattle times says about this time in the election cycle "for a ballot measure that isn't up on the air now is missing a big opportunity. Ballots mail out next week" and it appears that even though they are late to the race compared to the Approve campaign that has had ads running for months between Washington United for marriage and an ad run by Seattle Pride during the summer Olympics they seem to be coming out of the gate swinging using some of the same old tactics that have proven so effective in the past in scaring the public into voting their way. although this time they seem to have thrown in another tool to their approach ...
