Love’s a constant mission
truer words were never spoke
‘Cause my love it
keeps you wishing,
my heart it keeps me broke
keeps me wishing,
my heart it makes you broke
from “Mirrors and Smoke” by Jars of Clay

HI, Sometimes our Healthcare does not do everything we want it to do and we should help ourselves a bit more, some things I do are read self help books, I enjoy reading outside as it is often quite or more uplifting than my home, in winter months the library or mall is welcoming for this, secondly music amuses me and gets us all through the day, feel free to join music and lyrics group, caring for others is an awesome rewarding pastime but draining, try to be an inspiration instead of a hindrance to yourself, food is also a good way to do this, cooking and recipes, try Nourishment Bistro, crafts like knitting and beading or as I see with some of you painting is great, fabric paint on old bags and sewing on new handles works, you can upcycle grocery bags this way, I would like to get into thrifting as so much can be done with refurbished jeans and clothing, there are loads of websites, housekeeping hacks help as well to give motivation for cleaning, there's also making your own cleansers with essential oil and vinegar and lemon which I shall do in a second, who knows why our lives hit lows sometimes if we are hardworking clean and have good intentions, also inane mundane or brilliant poetry works, but ya'll know all of this already so Peace and Love #Bipolar2 #Bipolar1 #noursh #hobbies #selfhelp #Music #Caregiving

Daniel Moore is a British musician who had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis as a child, seeming got better, and then experienced a return of the illness in 2018.
In 2023, he co-founded the M.E. podcast Post-Exertional Mayonnaise to discuss M.E., music, writing, grief, and whatever other topics might pop up.
He's a good, smart person and I appreciated his questions.
On my living w/ M.E. for 32+ years, thyroid cancer for seven, the small heart attack, my first book Altitude Sickness about my best friend's death from mountain climbing, and my upcoming book Fire in the Hole: A Eulogy for the Living on the massive catastrophe of M.E.
On YouTube:
And on Spotify (it's available wherever you get your podcasts):

It's hard to be human and it's vastly harder to be a sick and/or disabled human, so I hope your new year is off to the best possible start and that the world is treating you w/ the kindness you deserve. All the best. xo

Listening to music, looking at the ocean, and looking at the stars are very therapeutic for me.
What are things that are therapeutic for you?

It’ll be a change navigating what’s next. I am unable to talk about the specifics of my hearing, but that leaves plenty still to write about. I’d spent the past few years working on applying, so 1-3 months waiting for a response isn’t a whole lot in the grand scheme of things (though I am prone to impatience). I know I am not alone and I choose to believe that there is a wonderful plan in store for me, whatever ends up happening.
Along my journey, I’ve rediscovered my love for music as a form of therapy. I’ve made some awesome friends. I also am grateful for The Mighty for being a safe and positive place to talk.
Some things I am still coming to terms with are being OK when I am not doing OK. Some days are better than others but what matters is how I can manage. This website has been a wonderful place for exploring ideas, as well as for venting when I am not feeling great.
This Winter will be a welcome one. My brother is coming home for a break from completing his PhD. I could use the distraction. What do you all have planned? If anyone plays games recreationally, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
Hoping for a Wonderful and Happy Holiday season.

Below is a link to the lyrics of the songs I’ve written for an album about living with Bipolar.
It’s not in the same league as the Beatles or Nirvana and I have no illusions that it is any good but it’s just an honest, truthful account that I have tried to put in to song.
