Staying off the flipside
I thought I was becoming manic this morning. I was actually afraid as I felt it happening and am now home from work ( Read more... ) -
tapering Abilify
I've been busy with working full time and life lately. I've had urges to write in here, but can't seem to get to it. I think M. is pissed off at me for spending too much time writing now for the first time in months. Otherwise, I'm just going through the daily grind Monday to Friday with weekends off; sometimes it's OK, other times it feels shitty ( Read more... ) -
Nostalgia
Some days I have the urge to pick up one of my old guitars and attempt to play them. Unfortunately, they're missing strings and one of them needs new bridge pins. It's been a really long time since I've tried that. I keep forgetting to take the one in to the music store for the bridge pins. I did buy some new strings around Xmas and I'm sure I ( Read more... ) -

Trying to get a little quiet time in, but apparently my kids have other plans. It makes me feel selfish and the mother guilt is kicking in, but I need to re-charge and find my balance. I keep trying, but am faced with constant interruptions mainly from M. I'd like to spend some time with her before work, but not with the way I'm feeling right now. ( Read more... ) -

I found some info to get started with the blogging project, but am now stuck on coming up with a domain name using Blue Host and Wordpress.org. I have some ideas, but am looking for the best fit for a name and for something that's available. I almost had one, but Blue Host doesn't do .ca domains and I'm not about to register it elsewhere and try to ( Read more... ) -
blogging?
I'm still reading up/searching the spiritual stuff. I'm considering starting some sort of interactive blog with the things I'm finding and experiencing (aside from LJ), but don't really know how to go about that. It would generally have to do with mental health issues and spirituality. I'll look into it though, but any ideas are definitely welcome. -
maybe it will all make sense...
I was on Pinterest and searched "soul searching" which came up with all kinds of interesting quotes and spiritual things. With one thing leading to another as it does on Pinterest, I came across pins relating to human interconnectedness, and energy and frequency in relation to the universe (and sacred geometry). I just stuck to reading the quotes ( Read more... ) -

So, I learned the hard way that nursing isn't for me. I knew this was a possibility, but I'm frustrated with how it happened. Last week on Tues, I was told by my instructor that in working on the issues I was having I needed to show "marked improvement by Friday and continued improvement from then on". Both my preceptor and instructor had both ( Read more... ) -
Meditation
I'm going to start writing about my experiences with meditation. Has anyone had any strange experiences with it? See below for mine ( Read more... )
