I'm becoming a big boy now. Becoming balanced again after all this time is like being born again (not in the religious sense...or maybe so). Anyway, things I couldn't do because of my crazy mind are coming back to me.
Here's what I should get gold stars for:
1. I cleaned the kitchen again last night.
2. I've been showering every day and taking care of my personal hygiene.
3. I started reading a book yesterday and am almost half way through it.
4. I'm working on a website and ran into some technical difficulties, as I mentioned yesterday. After freaking out for awhile I was finally able to calm down and find solutions for the problems.
These are all HUGE steps for me and it feels good getting life in order again, though I must admit it's damn scary. I'm trying to enjoy my new found freedom without overdoing it, but that's a toughie because I have to keep in constant check otherwise I won't realize when I'm pushing myself too hard.
The one thing I am missing is my ability to write funny stuff. I don't know what's happened but even I have become bored with my most recent posts. From my perspective it validates that being crazy or on drugs makes a person more creative. I wonder if there's been any serious studies about that.

Bradley,
I don't think that medication prevents a person from writing funny stuff. But I do think we change--dependent upon what's going on in our lives.
You may be using your creative side--which produces the funny stuff--to work on the design projects (which aren't funny but require a lot of creativity).
Just a thought...

Congratulations Bradley....sounds like you're doing well. I could take a page out of your book right now....lol. I'm either going insane or I'm moving in the right direction. I wish I knew for sure which one.....
Now, TAG!!! Your it...see my blog for details!! :-D
I'm glad you're feeling back on track Bradley.
I think your just stressed, hard to be funny when your stressed. I know I'm like that....and unfortunately a lot lately.
You have been selected by me as one of 6 meme recipients...don't blame ME, blame "Salted Lithium"! :-) See my blog at http://weirdcake.blogspot.com/ to find out more.
Good morning Bradley.
Don't worry about not writing funny stuff, The huge steps accomplishments are fantastic.
Often a creative dry patch is nature's way of saying, re charge the batteries and do something else.
i know it will come back soon. Probably when you least expect it.
Good to read your blog again Bradley. Sounds like you are doing friggin' great. That makes me smile.
I feel too, as if my blog has gone from a funny humorous perspective of a stay at home mom trying to stay sane, to blah dark ramblings of my current gripes. Meds make me feel numb and my humor seems to be bleak....
I can relate.
