Another blogger I have just started reading, Marsha @ Did You Take Your Meds, has a nice little “About Me” section and I’m a little jealous.  I went looking for a new tumblr theme with an “About Me” section that I liked.  Nothing fit the bill as well as this one….it’s just messy enough to really feel right for my scattered thoughts.  SO!  I decided to write an “About Me” post.  Maybe I’ll get around to putting a link to it somewhere…eventually.  Here goes:

I am a 30-something wife to a husband I adore (regardless of my bitching about him on here) and mother of two (beautiful, perfect, lovely, smart) children.  12 years ago I was diagnosed with depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.  7 years ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.  2 years ago I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.  This brings the sum of my current diagnoses up to: BPI, PTSD, and BPD.  If you have no idea what any of that means let me sum it up like this; these things are no joke.  They are tough illnesses that pick you up and throw you around and you have no say in the matter.  No control over how or when.  It’s damned scary. 

This blog is about saving interesting tidbits that I find around the web, talking to myself about my illnesses and using that when I am with the pdoc to remember what I was going through, and just the general rant and moan that is necessary to avoid blowing up about things every day.  If you find it interesting or helpful, great.  If you have serious questions or want to share something, drop me an email.  If you are offended, bored, or put off in any way - please go away.  Happy reading!
