From my week's "vacation" I have returned. I am enjoying weather that is - finally! At long last! - stunningly gorgeous.
I am on the least amount of medication I've been on in many, many years - with the goal of a medically supervised continued decrease in meds.
My perspective on the medical model of mental illness is rapidly transitioning. I have decided not to think of myself as being mentally ill, as having bipolar disorder - or any other mental health disorder - anymore. I have spent 4 decades in the medical world of mental illness and it is frankly appalling to me, how little has changed and progressed. I'm opting to expand my perception beyond. I will be 60 years old in ten weeks. It is time.
I have opulently decorated the front of my apartment for Halloween and to honor Dia de los Muertos. My neighbor, who is Mexican, continued the Day of the Dead theme by decorating the front of her apartment with the most gorgeous, shining images of Monarch butterflies. All of it is really something to see! A celebration.
A photo I took of some autumn leaves and pieces of beach glass and shell.
