(no subject)
Just spent some time Googling some project-related things which somehow lead to mental illness and spirituality. A good read on that topic is Sean Blackwell's Am I Bipolar or Waking Up? There was some sort of support group at one point that could be accessed through his website, but I can't find it. This is unfortunate because I would have been interested in being a part of this group. I'm sure at some point I'll find what I'm looking for in terms of an online support/discussion group. Or I'll just have to invent my own- which I'm kind of doing by looking for participants for my project.
And maybe I'll have to make a scrapbook or something out of mementos from my own experience of spirituality/mental illness (AKA: manic episode). Someday I might post my stories and brief recollections of events.
And these are the things I do rather when I should be studying. I'm currently taking courses from a nursing refresher program where a 76% is passing grade. I found out a couple of days ago that I failed my last test, but have a chance to re-write. This news has definitely thrown me through a loop in trying to come up with a new study plan and in taking a hit to my self-confidence. I'm questioning how I'm going to make it through this program and at present, I feel discouraged. I'm behind on my studying and test-writing schedule, so this sets me back more. I can reuqest an extension for this course, which I will likely end up doing. I'm hoping this discouragement will change as the news settles in and I get back on board with studying.
And now parenting calls... how to respond to your child talking about God when you're somewhere between being atheist and agnostic? I did not teach her about God, but she's definitely getting ideas about it from other sources and she talks like she's educating me on the subject. How enlightening.
