Leave of Absence, Part 2

July 16, 2021June 26, 2022Categories Bipolar ConfessionsLeave a Comment on Leave of Absence, Part 2

I read somewhere that you can’t heal where you got sick and I thought about that frequently on my leave. I thought about everything that has happened since moving to Sacramento in 2017. There's been a lot of good things that happened, like career growth and making amazing friends. There has also been a lot…

The Lobster (Spring 2020)

July 5, 2021June 26, 2022Categories Dating is Always a Bad IdeaLeave a Comment on The Lobster (Spring 2020)

I'd never dated in my entire life. I'd either been single or in a relationship, however that happens. When I finally got out of a six-year abusive relationship, I was ready for all of the awkwardness of dating. I was actually excited for it. In fact, I was so excited that I downloaded Tinder the…

Yes, I Dated During a Pandemic

May 11, 2021May 18, 2021Categories Dating is Always a Bad IdeaLeave a Comment on Yes, I Dated During a Pandemic

Dating in 2020 was one big shit show, but it was also a lot of fun. At 26, I'd never actually dated. I'd only ever been single or in a relationship, but no middle ground. There was only one date I had gone on. It was a blind triple date-- lucky me, right? My friends…

Medz O’Clock

March 5, 2021July 7, 2021Categories Bipolar ConfessionsLeave a Comment on Medz O’Clock

It’s the kinda day where I get to work a little late and leave a little early, but don’t remember anything that happened in between.  After roughly nine hours of corporate productivity, I am now in that weird space of time between getting off work and going to bed. I really, really, REALLY don’t want…

Milk Dud (Summer 2020)

March 1, 2021June 26, 2022Categories Dating is Always a Bad IdeaLeave a Comment on Milk Dud (Summer 2020)

Now, my work friends and I have given my situationships some terrible nicknames, but Milk Dud is the worst one. It all started when one of my friends started calling him Doug. Somehow that evolved to Milk Dud and unfortunately for him, it stuck. I remember he called me while I was at work and…

P.S. I Hope You Read This

March 1, 2021July 7, 2021Categories Confronting My TraumaLeave a Comment on P.S. I Hope You Read This

Dear John Doe, There were two times you raped me. If I am being really honest, there's actually a third time but I'm not ready to face that one. I know that you will never understand or believe any of that. Admittedly, it took some work for me to believe it. I didn’t (still don’t)…

A Letter to My Least Favorite Month

February 28, 2021July 7, 2021Categories Confronting My TraumaLeave a Comment on A Letter to My Least Favorite Month

Dear January, I want to start this letter by letting you know I fucking hate you. I used to love you because I believed that each new year meant a fresh start. Now, as an adult that has lived through some bullshit, I realize there is no such thing as a fresh start -- maybe…
