This month has been amazing. Filled to the brim with so much insight from women that are in different paths of their journeys. I am always amazed and truly humbled by the work that so many women of color are doing around the city.

I really enjoy all the women I have met on my journey. There are people who are no longer on this earth with me but their words ring in my heart from time to time.
I really hope that everyone has a positive womxn in their life that is pushing them to be better than the last day.

Happy international womxn day!

I had a really great birthday. I had a lot of friends and family around me. There was someone that I missed so much that could not be there. It is weird when someone has passed and you start to have the first of something without them I miss so much that this feeling never goes away. However it was nice to be around other people who love and care for me.

After being diagnosed mid 20s I went through denial which is very normal. My behaviors was harmful towards myself and others around me. After a really bad psychotic break I took my condition more serious. I went on medication and did therapy consistently. It was not an easy road but I will say I am happy I started it. Since starting the podcast I met and talked to a lot of wonderful people. This journey that you are on does not have to be alone. There are great systems out there in place. There are people ready to listen.

Thank you for the support!

Lately my therapy sessions have been less about my voices and more about me. I am feeling like my life should be about me and not so much about these voices.

I'm moving at a pace that is comfortable for me and I don't feel pressured to talk about the voices everytime we meet.



How are yall doing?

Hey guys, thank you for being kind with me and waiting for the next season. I have been in a bad depression for the last 7 months. With my health issues, my family avoiding my pain, my best friend passing away, financial strain, self worth depleted. I just have been going through a whirlwind of obstacles and I still have been trying to focus giving myself grace through it all. All I can say is that I am trying and doing what I can. Thanks on everyone that has checked on me I really appreciate it.

Thank you to everyone that checked in on me and my constant support system.

**TW suicidal ideation**
I will have to say I am very proud of myself.
This year has really set me into a path of healing that took turns I wasn't ready for.

In April I got a blood clot in my lung the update is coming October with my follow up.
May I was in a deep depression from money worries, health worries, house worries.
June was actually a little better I went to visit my partners family and relax.
July was the worst month I ever experienced.
-I revealed to my family about things that traumatized me as a teen to be told "why did I not say something earlier"
-I lost my best friend since middle school suddenly. She was someone I told everything to and now I have this pain that just sits there.
August still very much in a deep depression but starting to feel less pain when waking up.
To the point where I was tired and had thoughts of there is no point.

However there have been some very great moments. To my partner getting what they always have wanted. My diet has increased to less shame/guilt eating and more eating to stay alive and healthy.
We have a dog now lol.
I've reconnected with some people.

I won't lie July and August were months where I visualized just stopping this dreadful feeling. However, with the support of my community its been a little but easier.

So yes I am proud of myself and anyone else that is going through shxt and is making it.

I am so excited for Season 2. We made a lot of mistakes and it was fun to fix them up. I have been able to rest up a bit from June to now and I feel mentally ready to share more with you all. It is extremely important to me to share my journey because it is not easy but I enjoy doing what I do. Again I love sharing my journey of what helps me where I have been and where I am going. This page is not really an informational page it never has been its always been about how I handle these voices and Bipolar on a daily. I love everyone that has reached out about what they are going through and the guests that I am working with. Thank you everyone that values my time and allowing me to share my story. I'm excited!

All the black movies where the black characters are the target against white supremacy still until this day white people liberals, democrats still don't understand what Black people go through on a daily basis. It's always "Black lives Matter" until work is done. How will this movie even end? What is the goal with this movie? Tell another Black painful story and see how fu*ked up this place is.

I am done.

I'll be accepting donations for always being forced to watch messed up activity over and over

So tired of these type of movies. I truly am done with how this industry or rather the entire world just see Black people as a stepping stone.

It got old sooooo long ago. Also these are all my thoughts just laid out.
You can debate with your momma.

The most frustrating part about losing a loved one is that everyone moves on and you are still mourning. Time heals all everyone says but what do you do between that time....I miss talking to you so much.

It is so frustrating that even though I have publicly come out with having bipolar and psychotic disorder. I have people who refuse to do the research about it. People who will never understand why I have big emotions. People who I have to tailor my disorder around in order to not be disrespectful. I am so tired of it. So long having to hide who I am. I lost a sister/best friend since middle school and minimum effort. I am an emotional wreck haven't slept in days and no follow up. That's why I am taking myself back. I have been giving wayyy too much to people. My time, spirit, energy I am taking it back. To my community thank you for reaching out, thank you for the gifts the love. Thank you for seeing me as a human.

These last few weeks I've heard some hurtful words from family members. I have been sitting with my feelings Processing. I went to therapy to talk about it. I talked about it with my psychsritist. My medication has started to feel less effective in the last month. I am noticing a change in my mood. My libido has increased a lot. My lows are still there of course but I notice the volume of my voices are starting to localize around the rooms that I enter. That happens right before a mania for me. So with everything that has been going on with my Family saying "they love me they just dont support my lifestyle choice". The pills that I have to take constantly. Bloodthinners that are crazy expensive. My constant paranoia. I've been feeling a little out if sorts and I am worried that if my medication is wearing off how am I going to deal with it this time. Hopefully not I am going to keep monitoring and go from there.

So these last couple of months have been a Rollercoaster for me personally. In April was my birthday right after I was in the emergency room with a Blood Clot in my lung. We had scheduled a trip to PR already money spent then for flights that threw off everything. We didn't have money for almost a 1k in these life saving pills. So we started the gofundme. Then in that being depressed about money and about my own health not knowing what's going on in my body was ultimately working my voices constantly. With ideas of giving up at certain moments I can say it has been such a great restart that my partner allowed me to stay with their family in PR and have been nothing but so wonderful. It's been nice to get away for a bit. Minimum nightmares and late nights no screaming matches with my voices. My reality is still there but less loud. My voices always tell me I don't deserve to have love, care or happiness so when I do have those things I doubt them but I am accepting them more and more.

I relate so much to this piece at the museum it's always the one that gets me teary eyes. It is a bunch of noise surrounding a body. Which always makes me think of my everyday life. It just makes me feel a little bit seen. This week has been rough however I still have to manage. Between this mental illness, working, studying, being social, worried about friends, mending broken relationships with relatives, stressed about these pills and blood clot. These voices have been extremely discouraging and it weighs on my body to the point where panic starts to set in. My life is such a roller coaster at this point this isn't a woe is me post just needed to vent about my everyday struggles on why it is important to see people that are high functioning with psychotic disorders and how it is damaging on us. Imagine a person without my resources or a support group. Remember people are just people. You have no idea what imbalance is taking place in someone.
