It has been suggested to me on several occasions that I keep a diary or a blog. Apparently to write down your feelings is cathartic,  I err on the side of finding it self indulgent but have found during and after my recent breakdown that talking about my anxieties has helped. My partner has also talked about his feelings and any who knows him will confirm how out of character this is. So, maybe there’s something in it.

I will use this to discuss my bipolar, my art, my determination to take a holistic approach to my illness and my life as I get stronger emotionally and physically (well that’s the plan) and my strange new addiction to knitting hedgehogs.
