MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

notes on the journey

not so much a diary as a drawer where i can keep words i've written or found about the good, the bad and the "what the hell?" of bipolar living....


mysteries & enigmas

Mar 17 2012

out of the blue, yesterday turned out to be kind of inspired, at least by the lights of my personal mood chart- which consists of clocking how many 'pieces of work' i do, day by day.
mylatest self-assignment being the Check Your Meds comics i've been working on lately. yesterday, i created 20 of them- not all incredible, but none less that 'good' and 3 or 4 that i'd call "very good".
it was a pleasant surprise, as i've been less inspired lately than i'd prefer.

what if anything this has to do with it being day 5 since lithium was added into my mix, i'm not sure. i KNOW i'm feeling 'different', but i can't seem to find words for what 'different' actually consists of...

...not yet, anyway. my brother and his little psycho-dog went home yesterday and my mother's still down in Mexico, so it's very quiet here and i'm glad to have this time alone with myself as the chemistry of my brain changes. so far, there are no signs of the worst of the potential 'side effects'- no tremors or anything.

just this 'difference'. i guess we shall see what we shall see.....

does'nt your work explain your moods? and tell you where you are, i know my writing tells me
written by dugg, March 19, 2012
absolutely!
at my last appt. with my shrink, i said i didn't keep a mood chart, i could trace how i was feeling by looking at how many files i'd created on my computer for comics, photographs, writings and he totally got it....
