My 4-week emotional cycle [Possible trigger warning for discussion of how my mental illness makes me feel on a regular basis.]

Don't drink, don't smoke, what do I do?

Happy Solstice! I'll be doing my celebrating tomorrow, but no harm in saying it today. I will not be staying up to see the eclipse. I stayed up last night to watch Robot Chicken Star Wars III and I am so paying the price for it now ( Read more... )

Work was a half day today. I went in because I'm taking all of next week off and there was a remote chance my boss would need me in the office today.
