Dark Day Feb. 26

Sunday was one of the darkest days I have had in a bit .. meaning like a few months. Again, I’m not posting the videos of me talking to myself down off the ledge… for obvious reasons. But it was honestly the only thing that was keeping me connected to “reality”.

Being a bipolar mother and the guilt and shame that comes with it is should crushing and this overwhelming feeling of not only the destroyer of their lives, but unable to do anything to make things better. Also, when the roles are reversed, here I am the mother falling apart and my daughter trying to tip toe around me and be the grounded solid one. So much shame.

I did decide to make the cover picture funny – because sometimes that’s all I can do is laugh.

Just a wandering messy soul trying to navigate the distorted worlds of my mind, body, heart, soul and spirit. Sometimes by sight, sometimes by sounds, sometimes by feel, sometimes even by smell and taste.. and sometimes by all or none. I actually have no intention of “publishing” this or share with any need for acceptance, understanding, insight… Just getting it out. Just letting it come out. I experience and express life through words, the written word. Somehow the chaos of my mind is able to grab and sort the letters swirling around and place them in some order. And this is how I find … my distorted clarity.
