Nothing, at least not constantly. I am also rather private about certain things. I don't tell everyone and their sister that I'm on disability. I'm not embarrassed about being on disability, but I know a huge percentage of people wouldn't understand.

What is the bravest thing you ever did?

Coming from a well-to-do family, ask for a job door to door, business by business,
until the owner of a gas station said yes. My first job. Pumping gas.
It was a matter of survival. I was 15 at the time.

Crack your best joke.

Cheers.

The bravest thing I ever did was studying abroad. My family was super against it, and it was the first independent decision I could make for myself (long story). I was alone, knew no one and lived with a family who spoke no English. I had to fend for myself in terms of finding peace with the situation. In the end I loved every minute of it. I was brave enough to do that, and it snowballed into a lot of decisions to better my life.. like living alone.

Question: Do you still keep secrets even from your closest friends or family?

I don't honestly know. I suppose the fact that I am still here and functioning, somehow, after all of the negativity that has consumed my life in recent years would count. I'm too freaking stubborn to quit, which, for me, is a virtue of sorts.

What monopolizes your thoughts sometimes?

Missed you there! My apologies.

I don't have many secrets, those worth keeping anyhow. Bipolar made sure of that. I tend to be a bit of blabbermouth when manic and well...

Right now, my education monopolizes my attention. I recently went back so whether or not I can and will succeed is on my mind.

What are you looking forward to right now?

My goals are short term.
Today I want to finish inflating the dinghy.
Tomorrow is very uncertain at my tender age. Hehe.

Cheers.

I don't at the moment (that's bad, seeing as I'm at a standstill in life)

I guess just to be happy.... somehow

but that's a big thing when I don't know what makes me happy- or what would make me happy

have you ever held a newborn baby in your arms?

(I think it is the cutist thing, and a must for everyone)

Yes, my much younger (21 years) brother and both my nieces. And my sister but I was only 3 so that was more holding a pillow with her on it.

Do you react to extreme stress by being very cold?

Actually, just the opposite. I more often get really hot and sweat (even profusely) when very stressed or anxious. However, sometimes after sweating a lot I might feel cooler... because of the sweating.

What pleasant thing will you do this weekend to help make it a better one?

The yellow box flip flops just came out at Belk and I purchase a few pairs each season. I’m excited when they come out to see the new styles and decide which ones to get. Silly, I know but I look forward to it especially with this dreary weather.

Do you have any side effects with your medication?

I had many with lamotrigine. Life was a slow blurr.

Crack your best yoke.

A: A little weight gain with my med combo -- but I'm changing my diet to compensate and some light exercise (I won't commit to anything more than "light" ). I'm giving up soda in the house. It's where my belly fat comes from. I'm at the limit of my healthy weight and I don't like that.. I don't like that at all. I'm gonna shed at least 15 lbs. That's the goal.

Q: Can you list one unique trait about yourself?

Have you changed meds a lot?

A: I've been on at least 9 different psych meds. Currently I have a cocktail of meds that at least somewhat works, trial and error sucks.

Showed up at my work to give me a cappuccino

Q. If you ceased to engage in any form of social media what effect do you think it would have on you?

I would be bored, especially if you count PC as social media

Do you play a game or games on your phone?
