Good Afternoon Everyone — Happy Midweek!
Good Afternoon Everyone — Happy Midweek!
I hope your week is going nicely for you so far. 😀
Today’s post is a hard one for me to write, but I wanted to share it because I know many of us go through ups and downs with our mental health — and sometimes just talking about it can help.
Lately, I’ve been struggling. My anger has been getting the better of me, and the hardest part is not knowing why. I want to understand it, I really do, but so far I haven’t been able to find a trigger. It’s frustrating, and it’s really affecting how I feel day to day.
I’ve been to see my doctor, and my GP has been great. His suggestion for now is to adjust my medication to help balance things out. He’s also given me the wellbeing number to call and see if I can get some additional support. The thing is, if they want me to join group sessions, that’s where I’m already struggling. My paranoia has been really high recently, and being in groups feels overwhelming.
The mental health nurse who’s supposed to be helping me hasn’t been particularly supportive either — honestly, I’ve found her about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. So right now, it feels like I’m fighting through this blip a bit on my own, with out professional help.
If any of you have suggestions or things that have helped you during similar times, I’d love to hear them. I’m really trying to believe in myself, stay positive, and keep moving forward.
On a brighter note — it’s my birthday tomorrow 🎂 and I’m actually looking forward to that. A little bit of joy goes a long way.
Thank you for reading and for taking the time to like, share, or comment.
It genuinely means a lot.
See you in the next one. 🙏

Dear John
For about 10 years I thought I was Bipolar for reasons of trusting a Dr who has long since retired. For the record, I am not Bipolar and my file mentions it not at all.
I had anger issues which I suppressed and it was an inward eating of my soul that I experienced.
However, in the Bipolar world that I researched I understood how to make constructs in my mind that I communicated with.
I figured out a way of transferring my anger to one of the constructs, who I shall not name. And a long and beautiful calmness descended on my mind, and my soul recovered.
Now I spend my days writing code into the binary machine and helping strangers, and friends I meet on the long and winding road that sometimes needs smoothing over.
I shall be cautious of your anger, John, I hope you can give it to a construct of yours.
