What Are You Good At?

I am unusual for someone who deals with schizophrenia, in that in many instances, I am good with people. It hasn’t always been this way, and things were a lot tougher, when I had next to no awareness that the way I dealt with people was a strength. In the past, I’d attract all sorts […]

New “About” Page

I thought it was fitting to update my about page, now that I’ve been an active blogger for one year. I hope all of you are doing okay. I know it’s a bumpy ride. I sometimes feel as though I’ve had as much as I can take, and then… then… something happens, and I get […]

My One Year Blogging Anniversary

This week is my one year blogging anniversary! With that, I am just wondering whether you think there is a need to change the name of this blog, or should I plan to keep it as it is? I feel that I do a lot of sharing of information, and it seems a lot like […]

Reflecting A Bit On 2020: On Friendships, On Psychosis

2020 has sucked. There are no two ways about it. This year, I watched a lot of my friendships dissipate over politics. And, in a lot of ways, that is just unacceptable. But, you know what… life goes on… does it not? In the last short while, I’ve also reduced my antipsychotic drug, with the […]

Blogging Helps Me, Even When I Can’t Help Myself

I like to think about the items I can do to make my road easier. And, I am still confused about the processes of many things. For instance, I now know that a checklist helps me. …When I have the energy to follow one! In one way or another, I am convinced of my checklist’s […]

It is now “mentallyillinamerica.family.blog.” Please let me know if you are having problems viewing the site moving forward. I am in the middle of changing about 40 site links from within my posts. Thanks and have a great day! 🙂

I Am Angry With Myself

I read into things a lot! And, I am making another appointment with my doctor tomorrow. We met last month, but I need to see him again. I think I need to change my meds. I thought they were working really well… but, there’s just been a spark of anger for the longest time! A […]

The Path To Poetry

I never would have thought I’d write poetry. Any kind of poetry, really. But, prose… that is my favorite right now! In my distant past, I wrote song lyrics. And now… well you know… it’s poetry! I am grateful for all aspects of creativity! How about you? What kinds of creative endeavors (aside from blogging) […]

Winning At All Costs: Education Woes

So, tomorrow is the general election here in the United States. And, most people have voted, or know who they are voting for. Faced with so much school debt, it has become all but impossible for even the smartest, most educated among us, to make their way in America today! Where do you think we […]
