A Plea for Assistance

Previous post is back up!  Sorry, accidentally saved it privately when I edited it.
I’m thinking about setting up a website to collect my writings over the years; One in Four, BBC, interviews and etc I’ve done.  Partly for me to keep stuff in one place because I’m terrible at doing so, partly for interesting reading [...]

Paralysis and an Update

Wello there (I was meant to type, “Well, hello there”, but “wello” seems to convey both the meaning and tone).  I’m typing this on a second hand Macbook kindly donated by a reader and online friend, Nicola.  I’m only sitting on the other side of the room, near the optimistically opened window in a bid [...]

Identity

A rambling entry for you!
More on the invalidity of psychiatry from the Times.
In the madosphere, I am one of the more pro-psychiatry voices.  It leads to an inbox I sometimes can’t bear to check, in which I am assailed from all corners berating me for promoting a myth and for allowing myself to be a [...]

Apologies

So sorry for the lack of updates and real posts; am doing the “life” thing, and also exhausted and blank and haven’t got much to say.  So please excuse me.
PS: Where is There and Back?

Times Article on “Big Pharma”

Sometimes I feel like giving up and spending the rest of my life sighing.
Some of the theory is sound but it makes me want to flush my medication down the toilet and just chuck a rope over something. Deedee Ramona says it better than I; personally, I’m just incredibly weary at these types of articles. [...]

Label Yourself for My Benefit

I can’t believe I haven’t done this poll before, and if I have, I can’t believe I’ve forgotten it.
I’m rather curious as to what you, my dear readers, may be living with.  I wonder if people reading this mostly have bipolar disorder, or if a lot of people reading are reading out of interest, or [...]

Ad Nauseum

I’m beginning to repeat myself on this blog.  To be honest, at the moment there isn’t much new to say other than, “Ngh” and, “What the hell am I doing with my life?” and, “Moods, eh?”
So, is there anything you’d like my opinion on, however ill informed?  Or would you like a story about something? [...]

I hate going to see the GP and rapid-cycling. Hoof.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I’m a minor celebrity in the UK, apparently! Though thank you kindly, Health.com.  Liz Spikol and Bipolar Chica are there too, how marvellous.  The list is worth checking.
It’s difficult to be gracious to much appreciated praise when the subject of the praise is your life-ruining madnesses.  I should wrap wires around myself and lumber across [...]

The cracks are showing

“DON’T FADE ME OUT YOU…BEASTS.  I INTENDED TO MENTION DISAPPEARING TIGERS AND COMMITMENT.  COMMIT ME MAMA! THEY’RE TRYING TO COMMIT ME!  COMMIT HIM TO THE GARDEN MAUDLIN…”
“From the depths”.

Well, that took forever and a question

EDIT:  Hooray!  Purnell is gone!  
Read what my friend Nev has to say on the matter.
You’ll be pleased to know that my housing benefit has finally been sorted out.  It’s amazing what a pushy social worker and a midgetty mentalist with an unnaturally detailed knowledge of housing benefit can do.   Best part is of [...]
