Part 2 of 2: Listening to Dreams

This post follows up on part 1 where I spoke about some of my own dreams for the future.

Part 1 of 2: Daring to Dream

Daring to Dream is part of the Peer 2 Peer course I’m enrolled in. When I first attempted this exercise it was Week 1 on the course and I was attending on very little sleep. It’s a fluid document I should come back to and update.

Part 1 is about personal dreams
Part 2 is listening to the dreams of others
- How do other people feel sharing their dreams?
- How does it feel listening to other people and their dreams?

Cherwell 9.7.0 – Custom logs

By the far the best feature I’ve discovered to be added to Cherwell 9.7.0 is custom logs. Perhaps it’s the programmer in me. I’ve always thought that debugging and error handling in Cherwell could be improved – custom logs are a huge step forward in that direction.

Cherwell and movies

I kicked today of with some luck! Managed to get my virtual Cherwell lab working again first thing in the morning. Watched a few movies at the cinema come evening.

Keeping life simple

I’ve spent pretty much all day messing around with the ThemeFusion AvadaWordPress theme, only to discover that the Twenty Nineteen WordPress theme released by WordPress is far superior and free! Lesson well and truly learned.

What I have no way of measuring yet is whether it’s a side effect of the mood stabiliser, or the natural remnants of a manic episode. Continue reading “Here comes the storm”

The calm before the storm

Am I still awaiting a crash in mood?

I have a small concern right now that my mood is still to descend into a dark and black depression. It’s typical for mood to go into a major low after a manic episode – as yet I haven’t been all that bad. I can only hope I ejected most of my misery while being an in-patient on the hospital ward.

Back on Planet Earth

Returning to normality

As the days and weeks pass I’m becoming more-and-more like my usual self. I’m keeping a close eye on the side effects introduced by certain medications too. Continue reading “Back on Planet Earth”

My Bipolar Diagnosis

I hate my Bipolar diagnosis

I might be in the minority, but I don’t want a label attached to me.

I don’t want to be on the medication either. I’d rather rationalise my stay in hospital as “sheer exhaustion” and leave it the hell there. Continue reading “My Bipolar Diagnosis”
