My Mind is Okay, and my Body is Fine

The Scarlet B Posted on May 31, 2016 by RaeynMay 31, 2016

  And by ‘fine’, I mean the ‘original meaning’ of Fucked up, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional… well okay, the fucked up part, at least. I’ve had headaches that taking paracetamol (Tylenol) made worse in spite of the fact I strictly limit … Continue reading →

The Best Sort of Mistake

The Scarlet B Posted on April 11, 2016 by RaeynApril 11, 2016

So apparently, I was incredibly wrong about something. It turns out that Dr. K wasn’t leaving — she was about to go on vacation and wanted the matter of my Seroquel resolved before she left! Oh man, I cannot express … Continue reading →

Mur Mur Murrr

The Scarlet B Posted on April 3, 2016 by RaeynApril 3, 2016

I’m sitting here being Annoyed as Fuck™® because I am anxious and it’s making me slightly depressed and they’re feeding each other back and forth. I’m sooooo not impressed. Like, getting the Seroquel sorted means that I’m sleeping well, am … Continue reading →

Well, That Was Unexpected

The Scarlet B Posted on March 24, 2016 by RaeynMarch 24, 2016

The good news is that my Seroquel is sorted out. It’s back to extended release, and the GP I normally see (Dr. N) flat-out said that his compatriot Dr. A lied about normal Seroquel versus extended release. I was pretty … Continue reading →

Really Now

The Scarlet B Posted on February 28, 2016 by RaeynFebruary 28, 2016

My current level of depression can only be described as such — if I could punch myself in the face repeatedly to make it go away, I would do it in a heartbeat. I am soooo not impressed with my … Continue reading →

Happy and Sad Together

The Scarlet B Posted on October 18, 2015 by RaeynOctober 18, 2015

The past week or two had reminded me that happy and sad are not the same thing as hypomanic and depressed. I’ve been a bit depressed, yeah, but I’ve come out of it enough to like, do more than basic … Continue reading →

For Every High, There is a Low

The Scarlet B Posted on September 29, 2015 by RaeynSeptember 29, 2015

And so on from that song that was in The Sword in the Stone. This line is the main one of interest. Which is to say yeah, I’m down. I’m keeping it together, but I’m down. I almost started sobbing … Continue reading →

Up, Down, Left, Skitter

The Scarlet B Posted on September 22, 2015 by RaeynSeptember 22, 2015

I’m not sure I can blame the increased dose of Depakote, but my fatigue levels are pretty bad right now. There’s probably some cyclical contributing factors as well, but man. I don’t want to move. I just sort of want … Continue reading →

World Suicide Prevention Day

The Scarlet B Posted on September 10, 2015 by RaeynSeptember 10, 2015

Like many (most?) amongst the Bipolaratti, I too have entertained the notion of killing myself. I’ve even had one incident since getting diagnosed with bipolar, but thankfully, only the one. Having said that, I’ve not trended much towards suicidiality. I’ve … Continue reading →

Freedom To/From

The Scarlet B Posted on September 7, 2015 by RaeynSeptember 7, 2015

I have now officially survived my first summer break as the mother of two children… both of whom have been doing their darnedest the last couple of weeks to get on my last nerve. I can’t say going down to … Continue reading →
