Whoa. I always thought I had a book in me, and now, with this free time, it has begun to spill out. Right now I am writing an outline and reviewing my life, and honey, it ain’t pretty. The life of a Bipolar person isn’t all roses and sunshine, surprise, surprise. For me, it’s a story of semi-functioning, hyper-functioning, and not functioning at all. It’s painful to look at. There were many years of not being properly diagnosed and medicated when I just flailed about, making a mess of things. I know I worried my family terribly. I have to be able to look at my past, and say, “This is in the past”, and not beat up on myself for it, or get overwhelmed with past feelings. I fucked up so many things on such a grand scale! If you could get an award for fuck-ups, I would maybe win the Fuck-Up Olympics. Ok maybe that is grandiose. Maybe you have some spectacular fuck-ups in your past too. Well I hope it makes a good book. I’m thinking of calling it “All This Bullshit Has Happened And I’m Still Alive!” or maybe just something simple, like “How NOT To Live A Life”. I don’t know. We will see. I have some time. All I HAVE is time.
Anyhoo, Happy Monday to you. Hope it’s a good one. Peaches!
I’ll give you 5 stars if you give me 5 too, ha ha ha!!! Just kidding. (Not!) I love your title! I think you should model it after this blog because it’s feisty, insightful, moving, honest never boring…..but I guess the question is would you want to use your real name?
Keep at it. I’ve started two books at different times and never finished either of them. Go figure…
It’s not easy, dredging up all the old shit!! If it were easy there’d be a MILLION books on Bipolar Disorder out there…
truth!
No doubt you have a book in you.
Fuck ups make for entertaining reading. Better to read about it than to live it.
I should be able to write an entertaining book then 😀
I have no doubt. Your sardonic sense of humor comes through your writing.
Thank you Kitt ❤ ❤ ❤
Sign me up! You already have fans. 🙂 I’ll preorder as soon as it’s available.
Good for you for even taking a look inside yourself and keeping your eyes open to reality. Sometimes when I look too deep I can literally forget the past which doesn’t help self improvement one bit. Good for you!
Thank you Jennie ❤ ❤ ❤
