Resting
In coming to terms with who I am as an introvert, semi-anti-social, “fragile creature” (as my husband calls me) and general recluse with ups and downs, I should have known that from my extreme up-state last week there would be a down this week. Although maintaining a regular work out schedule definitely helps with the…

Dark to Light
Getting myself out of the house and remembering where I live is my first step to getting myself away from the threat of the dark state that wants to settle back in to my psyche disturbing my way of life. Yesterday morning or maybe during the day I read this article on Facebook about the…

Structures
So my post the other day on working vs not working also brought up some ponderings on my regular visits on the topic of schedules, discipline and structures. My tendencies for ups and downs are really being challenged lately as I find myself lacking consistent structure. I still keep a schedule. I still am planned…

Mindfulness Summit 2015
My friend, T posted this on her FB page as an event she was planning on attending. I had seen it before on another friend’s post, but had only glanced at it then. So, this time I took a closer look at it. In the past, people have suggested the idea of meditation and tried…

Both Ends are’a Burnin’….
I am exhausted…that’s truly an understatement. I thought I was doing okay in balancing my life out, but it seems that isn’t the case. It is affecting just about all parts of my life, which is not great, though I think work benefits the most. So, this picture nicely illustrates how I’m doing…balancing it all…

Routines
If we know anything about Tara, we know that she likes her routines. It’s taking a bit of time to adjust back into one, BUT, it seems that we are getting there. 😀 Some changes were needed to be made, though… *Deleted Candy Crush from all mobile devices *Setting boundaries on checking FB and emails…

Cipralexing: Omg and Beyond
So, it has now been over a week since I have been completely off the Cipralex. I must say I definitely have gone through ups and downs; however, I cannot say for sure how much was the decrease or how much was the events around me. In general, I feel pretty good. One interesting and…

Cipralexing: 10mg to 5mg
This week starts my 5mg run and next week I will be completely off the Cipralex for the first time since March. Nine months is pretty good, even though I had said a year. It is interesting how much changes in a short span. The past couple of weeks I have been extremely energetic and…

Rebooting the Mind…
Well, if I had thought that I had somehow gotten rid of the bipolar tendencies, the last couple of weeks have reminded me that no medication or denial will remove the reality. 😐 So, I’ve been on a bit of a downward spiral, but think I am pulling myself back up before totally hitting bottom,…
