This Jewdistian Doesn’t Believe in Creationism
As you’ve hopefully read in I’m Going to Die in the Walmart Parking Lot, this is the second installment of the 99 quirks of Lulu. Yes, again, I’ll say that these are not all BP related. And I’m glad to know that some are kind of funny. 49.) Pickles. There can never be enough pickles! … Continue reading
Construction Zone – Self Improvement in Progress
Per Brandon who writes The Daily Bipolar, I’ve been inspired by his post Too Much At Once?. In his post, he was examining goals for himself and prioritizing. Obviously, I seriously have a problem with that. I’m often stuck in the here and now situation. I tend to focus on the most pressing problem of … Continue reading
Antidepressants – Which Witch
“Can you turn the light off?”. I touched the brushed metal lamp, and the dim light flickered off. There was a quick glance at the alarm clock – 12:38PM in glowing red numbers. Only a computer monitor playing Netflix illuminated the room. I was like a moth to a porch light in the summertime. It’s … Continue reading
Who’s Pulling the Trigger?
“What if I wanted to fight? Beg for the rest of my life What would you do? You say you wanted more What are you waiting for? I’m not running from you (from you) Come break me down Bury me, bury me I am finished with you Look in my eyes You’re killing me, killing … Continue reading
A Mixed Bag?
I am terrified of myself right now. When I first began As the Pendulum Swings, I had started off with a post called, “To See If I Still Feel” which described a similar episode with self-injurous behavior that I blogged about recently in “Confessions of the Pain of Payment”. Soon after my original blog post, I … Continue reading
Debt of Explanation
What do I say now? I’ve written and rewritten and edited this draft for the last three days. It originally started out with a rationalization: Lamictal and hormonal birth control don’t play nice. When I first started Lamictal, I would take the bc placebos for that week and start exhibiting symptoms of PMDD. My Pdoc … Continue reading

My Sitter’s Spare Time is an EPIC Fail
I’m always all about leaving some funnies on my site. It’s a nice pick-me-up when things are crappy. I happened to be on IRL FB last night and saw a status from my good friend. She was talking about how sick she was but how she and her roomate were still going to the bar. … Continue reading
Where I End and “It” Begins
There is great mystery and confusion that surrounds us when we try to differentiation symptoms and personality. James, who writes the award winning blog James Claims, inspired me to finally write a piece on this subject with his shout out. Which is which? Episodes surely have a profound affect on our cognition and behavior. Then, … Continue reading
A Visit From a Fairy
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! At first, it hardly woke me. It’s usually pretty difficult to rouse me from sleep, unless it’s an usual, or possibly threatening noise. It was both. Someone was banging on my door entirely too early for me to be up on a Sunday morning. I have to preface this. I don’t live … Continue reading
