askygoneonfire I haven't really had much time or intellectual energy to blog more general/coherent posts recently. I have, however managed some posts over on my other blog. Here's a quick summary of the last three posts;
Travelling Whilst Cyclothymic; In response to a comment on the blog, I offer some thoughts on how achievable backpacking is as a person with cyclothymia. There are, I think, more things to consider - but it's all about planning strategies rather than writing it off entirely as an option. I ended up recording an experience I don't think I've ever told anyone about which involves suicidal thoughts, 10 years ago, in a hotel room in Uruguay.
Well-being and Wank: All about trying to work through my reluctance to talk about 'well-being' or 'self care' and tracing some of that back to growing up working class and the work-ethic that comes with that. There's a chip on my shoulder so big it trips me up.
Coming Out: Continuing an earlier idea I'd explored on the blog, about the limits of mental health 'awareness' campaigns and the difference between stigma and lack-of-knowledge (the latter being something that can be corrected, the former being about way more complex issues than just lack of knowledge). In all: I have The Scepticism.
Replies always welcome - here or there - to discuss and develop these ideas.
