Comedy is all about timing. Timing is all about self awareness. Self awareness is all about honesty.
I haven’t written much lately because I don’t want to get into trouble or be unethical, but it’s important for me to note certain things as they happen, that’s the whole point of this blog. I have been alienating those close to me with my bad temper and mercurial mood lately, and I think that means the new meds aren’t working. I’ve been loathe to go to work, painfully anxious, bitchy and brazen. I’ve damaged my career, my relationships, and my own self worth. I feel like a gigantic ass.
Remember this, Jady, remember so it doesn’t happen again.
Honestly, I hate how I feel right now, and I’m taking it out on my friends and family. I’m being a spoiled little brat and I hate that part even worse. It sucks to realize you’re not that great person you want to be. I’m not a helpless victim here, I am living the consequences of my own behavior. Med-altered behavior, sure, but mine all the same. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, bipolar is no excuse for bad manners. No matter how messed up you are when you do stupid things, it’s your responsibility to fix them, because no one else is going to do it for you.
No one else will un-fuck your life.
Now…enjoy this picture of me and Dante while I try hard to fix my shit.
Wish me luck, loyal reader.
Wrong meds are horrible!!!! One of my favorite early marriage memories is screaming at Steve about hiding things from me as he calmly says “it is almost Christmas” and “Maybe the Prozace isn’t working for you.” Yes you are responsible for your choices but when we take chemicals into our body hoping to bridge a gap in our own chemistry, we have responsibility but we also are at the mercy of some of those chemicals. You know as well as I do ( probably much more than me) that what is real and what we perceive are not always the same. I love you darling and please be kind to the niece I love dearly!!
