YOU ARE ENOUGH AND YOU MATTER.
Welcome to my site where I write nonsensical blog posts and showcase some of the collage art that I enjoy putting together using Photoshop or Procreate (even though there are plenty of AI apps that produce similar results to what I like to create, almost instantly). I have found that being creative is a needed activity throughout my day. Doing so provides me with a healthy outlet to work with/on the hell that has been addiction recovery, along with the struggles coping with symptoms/learned behaviors that come along with mental health disorders. I have been given a lifetime ticket to the exciting, roller coaster ride that is living with Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, and ADHD and they all play their part in fueling this vintage, 1970’s, delusional human machine that’s all gassed up with some of that “unique brain chemistry” that you all know and love to feel uncomfortable around.
This place serves as a space for me to express my feelings and thoughts while navigating my life’s journey and trying to figure out stuff. Some of that stuff to figure out is mastering my coping skills so I don’t get as easily overwhelmed, spin out and then end up in a tough spot or upsetting others. It’s a war inside my head and others pick up on my energy very easily. I’ve been told this by both friends and family. When I’m riding high and ramping up to manic, EVERYONE in the room is happy and having fun! But when I’m dropping low, mad, or just plain feeling easily overwhelmed and reactive from the whirlwind of thoughts coming in… To put it simply, EVERYONE is walking on eggshells around me and feels uncomfortable. I am working on myself and making progress. Grippy socks. Who knew?
I also have a R.A.F.
“Resting Asshole Face”. A naturally appearing, perpetual pissed off look on my mug.
Fun Fact:
Disassociation is one of my favorite pastimes and it's free.
