My enemies made me stronger

29/5/2023

The lyrics 'I get knocked down but I get up again' from the song Tubthumbing by Chumbawamba came to mind after I watched back a video I recorded in 2017 when I was struggling. At that time, my psychiatrist said, 'I'm doing my best to keep you alive right now'.

It was rough. Rapid cycling from mania then crashing into depression. I was unable to drive, unable to prepare a basic meal, unable to work at all. Now I can drive when I am up to it on quieter roads, can work around 8 hours per week, can usually prepare basic meals.

Renegade Fighter by Xanthe Wyse, inspired by the song of the same name by Zed

I am no longer blogging or vlogging as a mental health and disability advocate. The politics of it is too toxic for me.

I will blog occasionally about some of my interests (art, writing etc) beyond advocacy on my other blog at Soar Purpose.

See you there!

No. 1 bad-ass.
After all, my medical records say 'BAD1' for bipolar affective disorder type 1.

Also diagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Clinically significant autism spectrum features since childhood (PDD-NOS diagnosis).

Creative. Like to paint and write. Self-published a few books based on personal experiences.

Comments are welcome but no personal attacks nor attacks on others.

Opinions and personal experiences are no substitute for independent professional advice.

Image is fan art from when I was a bipolar warrior and a renegade fighter.
