It’s been eighteen months since I last wrote on my blog. I’m a bit rusty. It’s taken at least ten minutes relearning how to use it. I hope in the end it makes sense.
About four weeks ago I fell into an emotional black hole. I didn’t just slide I plummeted into a space of high anxiety, constant low moods and thoughts just too dreadful I don’t want to recall them.
Living life with mental health diagnoses is definitely a challenge. I don’t appear to have any triggers or circumstances that cause me such mental anguish. I do know that there is a family history so genetics plays a huge factor from what I’ve read.
Here I am once again on the Bi-Polar roller coaster and it’s not fun. However, I must keep telling myself I always get better. That’s the hope I hang on to. The fact that I’m journaling here is a good sign that my black mood is shifting towards the light. I’m sliding into serenity (I hope).
Here is a link from the Black Dog Institute that may help you understand Bi-Polar if you want to know more.

Here is a photo of SERENITY I took on the Karuah River earlier this year.
