What I want for myself

I talk about mental health advocacy but what am I actually doing about it?

One of my goals is to learn how to write articles. Thoughtful, meaningful articles. I’ve done it before but my thoughts have been so scattered lately. And also the pot doesn’t help.

I can admit I have a substance abuse problem. And I miss the creativity that accompanies mania. I was much more prolific last year but I think I spent most of this year in a mixed/depressive state though.

I’m re entering the fog because I’ve been feeling very empty lately.

I am so lucky to be where I am. I should take advantage of this privilege I was both hardworking and lucky to achieve. As my psychiatrist said today, not everyone gets to be where I am.

Perhaps I could turn my disorder into a strength?

I want to educate myself
