Losing it/Seaneen’s Manic Episode

Hey chaps.
Deleted my previous, rather more straightforward post saying that my brain is flying through fire. It is, but I am putting a big effort into coming across here right now as being educated and rational even though at the moment, rational is the last thing I feel.
I’ll be honest with you- things [...]

Get out

The guy in the next room is screaming at someone. He keeps repeating the same thing over and over. I know only he lives in that room. I think he might have mental illness too, but he is scaring me.
So I know how people feel living next to me when I have [...]

Whoops

After all my grandstanding yesterday, the pharmacy doesn’t have the medication I need in stock until Monday.
Until then, I shall be be hacking, twitching and spitting while trying to find an employee of the council who is not an idiot.
See you on Monday.

Oh, the drama!

Y’know, all these melodramatic hand flapping posts about mixed episodes and scary moods aren’t exactly chicken soup for the soul.
So here are some photos of my cat Hobbes to soothe an unquiet mind. Don’t worry, I’m not a feline fetishist. I don’t own a t-shirt with, “Owner of the world’s cutest cat” emblazoned [...]

Fight

Okay, so. Self indulgent post coming up- is there any other type?
I solemnly swear to take my medication. Because…

Mixed

After being an amazingly belligerent, negative and rude bitch in my CPN appointment, then bursting into tears when I got outside, and considering the huge amount of energy that I have coupled with equally huge amounts of horrible depressive thoughts that are picking at me, I have just twigged that I am probably heading for [...]

“Nice figure”

I’m changing doctors tomorrow after my CPN appointment. The old one is retiring, bless him. The last time I saw him, he congratulated me on my weight loss and said I had a nice figure. Not exactly a medical term, is it? He is insanely old fashioned, though and I think [...]

Housing moan

This is self pitying moaning about my housing situation and therefore not very interesting. It does feature ranting and bitching so I will probably end up privating it at some point. Don’t be surprised if this entry disappears.

Mentally Interesting Radio

Over a quarter of a million hits! That’s quite a lot. Okay, so it’s no Kate Harding (well over a million) and it’s been over the course of a year but it’s still quite impressive!
Thank you, lovely readers!
And a question for you; what would you think of me doing podcasts for this blog? [...]

I miss you.

Violence

Happy Easter!
I still feel like shite but not as shite as I did previously. I have spent most of this weekend asleep. Consequently, the bout of mixed-up hypomania that I was experiencing seems to have passed, which is good as I was running myself into the ground.
I hate living where I do because [...]

Bollocks

What a rude end to hypomania!
I think I’ve got the fecking flu. I have felt absolutely awful all day, my body is aching, my head is pounding, I’m running a temperature, my chest is tight, all my energy is gone, the thought of food makes me want to gag, I have the [...]

Workshy Leeches

Well, this blog entry is inspired by Marcus Brigstocke’s comments on the Late Edition last night, in which he described those on Incapacity Benefit as “workshy leeches”.
I sent a somewhat heated e-mail to him, to which he responded to. He apologised for offending me and was polite and reasonable (which, to be [...]

UPDATE YER BOOKMARKS SCALLYWAGS! www.mentallyinteresting.org is here!

Hello! A note! This blog can now be found at the short and snazzy url of:
http://www.mentallyinteresting.org
Hurrah! I’m a dot org!
It’s just a redirect for now (the URL redirects to this WordPress one) but it saves your little fingers the effort of all that typing!

I am you are we are

In a listless sort of way I’ve been picking at some of my more recent posts. A little like you jack up a salad leaf with your fork and realise that there’s insects underneath.

Low

Removed post.  Just, low at the moment.
Have a nice weekend.

The Monster

If this was Livejournal, there would be a little .gif right here, with the word “Pensive” scribbled below.
I’ve spoken a lot here about eating disorders, self harm and body dysmorphic disorder. The former two are motivated by the latter one.

The Definition of “Scundered”.

Sometimes I feel this stuff needs to be said. Well, I do tonight due to a few recent e-mails. You can file this post under, “Things that make you go, “what?” if you like.
This is the title me and my sister Paula came up with today for my imaginary autobiography. She said [...]

Goodbye.

It upsets me when people die. Even people in the news I don’t know. That they lived, and do not anymore.
It upsets me when we lose people who touch us. Even if it is just through words we read on a screen. We are all still connected, spying on a moment [...]

More rants about rapid-cycling

Baseless moaning after the cut. Consider it a protracted sigh.
