Eye Twitches and Crazy Mail
My body has continued to make sure that I understand fully that I might not be outwardly stressed, but inwardly is — my right eye has been twitching as if it were trying to take flight for days now, and I developed a huge fever blister. Thanks body, here I am trying to take the high road on something causing me anxiety, and you make me out to be a liar! Hrmph! Having said that, I decided to quit waiting for Instagram to actually engage in customer service, and set up a new account. I think the only one of y’all following it was Laura, but if any of y’all are bored enough to want to see pictures of me, my kids, and crap on my desk, you’re welcome to come join the party!
Anxiety aside, I’ve been doing really well. I’m relieved that the current medicine combination continues to do such a good job of keeping my bipolar in line. I feel pretty solid, you know? And it’s been long enough since the current combination was put into play that I, for the most part, have kind of mentally blocked/forgotten what ‘normal’ felt like. I prefer this normal, yanno? The normal that has me smiling and laughing and being involved in my family’s life (or as much as crippling chronic fatigue will let me be). Naw, my only complaint on that front is that I still have no idea when I’m going to see my psych next, but I’m not complaining at this second because it means that it’s increasingly less likely that the letter is going to come inviting me to attend while I’m on vacation!
Wait, was was the crazy mail then?!
Now, the crazy mail was unexpected goodness. Even if it didn’t have its usual private and confidential across it, I just knew it was a letter from the mental health ward. To my massive surprise and pleasure, it was a copy of a letter from Dr. K to my GP (Dr. N) asking him to get on the ball with my ADHD referral. I got myself excited and misread it as saying that she’d organised the funding as well, but still. It’s amazing to see that she’s working so hard to push this through me. Yeah, I know that she said she was going to do just that, but it’s still edifying to have the proof in your hands. It’s still not a pinned down, confirmed and paid for referral, but it means a lot to me that someone is out there trying to help me improve my quality of life in more ways than one.
Anyhoos, it’s Monday, and that’s my ‘day off’, so I am going to get back to zoning out while the littlest has her nap. Hope all of y’all out there are doing well.

Great to see you back. Or, have you been back and I missed you? Either way, it’s wonderful to see, other than the twitching eye, that you are doing so well. Hang on and savor every second of it.
I’m trying to post a bit more frequently, but at this point with the aim of trying to get something up once a week. I’m definitely glad to be doing mainly well. 🙂
Wait, wait, what’d I miss? I’ve been floating around in a galaxy far, far away. Instagram? Something happened?
Glad your brain is behaving better! Hope it keeps up that way.
1. Instagram is now raeyncrafts, if you wanted to rebuddy up there. 😀
2. Been fighting to get my ADHD diagnosed for years. It’s really hard to get it taken seriously in this country because with the models having initially been based on males, it ignores that women continue to have it well into adulthood, and that it can get worse. I’m grateful that my psych works so hard for me on trying to get this taken seriously. I wish it wasn’t such a drama to get a freaking referral though. This is the third or fourth attempt that’s been made on my behalf to even get approved to go see the folks who do the diagnosis. :/
