Bipolar powers, activate! in My Life
I was doing really good with my mental illness. But now I’m sitting here at work, with loads of energy, giggling to myself, and talking my coworkers heads off. Mourning all week, now I’m manic?...
If I didn’t laugh, I’d be fucking crying. in My Life
My cousin just died. And I didn’t want to go over my family’s house because I didn’t want to hug anyone. 1. Because I work on a COVID unit, and 2. Because I literally just got my nipples pierced...
I wanna write. in My Life
Seems like every day I write an entry in my head, but I can’t put it to paper. I still owe pictures and an entry from my surgery. I’m still living in the hotel. Been here since April. Will be h...

The return didn’t go as planned. Blame it on the surgery and my mind being elsewhere. Anyway, I got my nose pierced today. I’ll try again this week with constant entries.
hello there in My Life
I did have my little minor surgery yesterday, but one thing, one big thing (to me) didn’t go as planned, so I don’t wanna write about it just yet. This should be rectified by the end of the mont...

Tomorrow, I will either A) Have surgery, or B) Enjoy my day off, being safe and warm inside It’s up to God and the weather at this point. If I end up staying in, I’ll probably write a huge entr...

The hardest part to accept. in My Life
I’ve been to 5 protests in the past 5 days. Gassed twice. The scariest part of being black is that I can be killed for no reason, and others would try to justify my murderer’s actions.
Even when I have a brand new hairdo with my eyelashes all in curls... in My Life
I do not enjoy being a girl. When my cycle starts, I get awful pain in my thighs. Along with debilitating cramps. And, if I eat on the first day of my cycle, I will throw up. Usually, my period ...
The end of the world as we know it. in My Life
One year ago, today, I was released from the hospital. I’ve been out for longer than ever since I’ve been having mental health issues. Today has been a doozy. Yesterday, I called in to work bec...

Being broke sucks. in My Life
I have a bad toothache. I’m pretty sure it’s an abscess. I’ve taken Tylenol, Motrin, aleve, and used topicals like Orajel. Nothing works. I know it’s abscessed, because I’ve had one before, and ...

I’m not o-fucking-kay. in My Life
I know I don’t write much, but that’s mostly because I don’t have a computer. Typing on the phone is irritating. Excuse the typos. Monday, I found out my camera was ‘gotten rid of’. My DSLR, len...
The hits just keep on coming. in My Life
Our roommate just fucked up our apartment.
New diagnosis. in My Life
Turns out, I’m probably not bipolar. I probably have borderline personality disorder. Which, I feel, is worse. More stigmatized. No medicine helps, just intense therapy. A lot of people don’t su...
It had to be said. in Daddy issues.
Yesterday, I told my dad to die slow and go to hell. And I meant every word of it. I even texted him ‘I hate you, never speak to me again, and I mean it’. And, I do mean it.
Dear dad. in Daddy issues.
Father’s Day is tomorrow. And I want to tell you something. I need you to understand this message and take it to heart. From the depths of my soul, with every fiber in my being, FUCK YOU, DIE S...
