Look Maw, No Murders!

The Scarlet B Posted on February 20, 2016 by RaeynFebruary 20, 2016

Just a Spot of Psychosis…

The Scarlet B Posted on August 27, 2015 by RaeynAugust 27, 2015

Hear Yesterday, I was sitting here downstairs, basking in having the floor to myself. The girls were upstairs playing, when suddenly, I heard my husband’s voice. I could have sworn that he was upstairs chuckling at the girl’s play instead … Continue reading →

It’s in My Head

The Scarlet B Posted on October 7, 2014 by RaeynOctober 7, 2014

I have been having the worst headaches lately. They’re sitting there right below the migraine threshold, mocking me. Such is life with bipolar, eh? Now, I actually went to the optometrist last week. We were due for an eye exam, … Continue reading →

OCD and Self-Diagnosis

The Scarlet B Posted on September 29, 2014 by RaeynSeptember 29, 2014

One of the rather annoying things with Bipolar is that it comorbid with any number of other mental illnesses. I refer to these as the Uncaring Cousins, ’cause hey, child of the 80s who loved the Care Bears and Care … Continue reading →

Tie a Knot

The Scarlet B Posted on September 1, 2014 by RaeynSeptember 1, 2014

Reputedly, if you tie a knot around your finger, you’ll remember things. Reputedly. I don’t know the veracity of such a thing as I’ve never tried it; I think it would freak my brain out to have something on my … Continue reading →

Ask Me No More Questions (Tell Me No More Lies)

The Scarlet B Posted on July 1, 2014 by RaeynJuly 1, 2014

Allo from the land of… something… something. Dudes and Dudelettes, my brain has been converted to pure fluff, ha ha. But we continue to do fairly well on the whole. Having a baby in the house is tiring and stressful … Continue reading →

Preaching to the Choir (About Mental Illness)

The Scarlet B Posted on May 8, 2013 by RaeynMay 8, 2013

I think that we are all very brave for standing up and sharing our experiences with having a mental illness. I think we are brave to put our lives out there so people can see they are not alone. Having … Continue reading →

Float On

The Scarlet B Posted on March 14, 2013 by RaeynMarch 14, 2013

The subject line is about as close as I can come to describing how I am right now. The bipolar hasn’t dragged me into a fugue-y state, but I am sort of feeling clouded and cloudy and adrift. It’s neither … Continue reading →

Buh

The Scarlet B Posted on January 25, 2013 by RaeynJanuary 25, 2013

For some reason, my eyes are the verge of crying and have been all day. I don’t feel an emotional need to cry. Nor is there likely to be any sort of allergen causing the effect, considering it started in … Continue reading →

Tic

The Scarlet B Posted on January 15, 2013 by RaeynJanuary 15, 2013

I had a driving lesson this morning, and we did one of the test routes to get me used to the format before my test at the end of the month. I mainly did well, but there were a few … Continue reading →
