Hey everyone! How have you all been? I've been fairly well. The higher dose of zyprexa seems to have stabilized me.

I'm starting an organization called Phoenix Rising. The purpose of this organization is to spark thought and conversation concerning important social issues, with a focus on loneliness, mental illness, homelessness, addiction, and LGBTQ issues.

I hope to blog on these topics pretty consistently, make relevent YouTube videos, and post interesting and inspiring links on my facebook page. I also hope to publish some of my work (novels, the book on bipolar I've started, a book on psychosis), as well as a monthly newsletter.

I'm super excited about this! You can check out the facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/affjerf

and the blog at:http://phoenixdialog.blogspot.com/

Thanks!

Wow! You have really set some goals for yourself. The mental health community can use all the help it can get. Can't wait for the books. Looking forward to reading more of your blog as well.
