Falling Starlett: January 2011
http://fallingstarlett.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 11 January 2011. I'm coming to see you". It's OK. I'm alright, really". I'm coming to see you, I'm not taking no for an answer". This was the moment I had been dreading for months. He'd never met my parents, or any of my family, for that matter. I felt the panic rising up inside my chest. My heart raced, my breathing became uneven, shallow and quick. I felt dizzy, faint. My mind ran through scenarios - none of them good. I spent the next few weeks apologising. I feel ashamed. Totally ashamed.

Falling Starlett: March 2012
http://fallingstarlett.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 13 March 2012. The drugs don't work. Some days are easier than others. These past couple of weeks have been ridiculously difficult. There are several reasons for this, that I'm not sure that I should go into in such a public way, so I will condense and edit. Things at home haven't been terribly easy of late either. Problems with medication have been the underlying cause of these issues. Side effects, and simple lack of treating the issue they were prescribed for, doesn't help. I also have to be ...

Falling Starlett: A Kind of Therapy?
http://fallingstarlett.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-kind-of-therapy.html
Thursday, 8 January 2015. A Kind of Therapy? It's been quite some time, hasn't it? My real life has been crazy these past couple of years and I've said and done some things that, well just weren't steps in the right direction. I've managed to not only hurt myself but some of the people whom I love with all my heart. It's been a rough ride and I sincerely hope that that was my rock bottom, but with Bipolar I can never be sure. I've been on a real high lately. I know that now, because today I've crashed.

Falling Starlett: November 2011
http://fallingstarlett.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 4 November 2011. Most people have days when they feel 'down' or 'low' or maybe even 'depressed'. Most people also don't talk about those days. For most people, it passes as quickly as it came. I am not most people. Most of last week, and the start of this week, I was in the manic phase of my Bipolar Disorder. I do not realise when this happens. I only realise when it stops. And, when it stops, it doesn't just fizzle out or tapper off. It. Just. Stops. It hits hard. And fast. The people around a B...

Falling Starlett: April 2012
http://fallingstarlett.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 4 April 2012. Yesterday came the sad news that a friend had taken the decision to end his life. For obvious reasons, I will not mention his name or the circumstances surrounding his untimely death. This is a difficult post to write, but I feel that it should be written. I know that he used to read my Blog, and would often talk to me about it, so it feels only right to honour his memory here. This man had so much to live for, and had done so much with his life. We will never know the exact reas...

Falling Starlett: November 2012
http://fallingstarlett.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 November 2012. Mental Health, Stigma, and Useless Stories. I haven't written a post here for quite some time. It's not that I'd suddenly found a 'cure' or some other helpful method of coping with my Bipolar, it's just that, well, life is life, and I have four young children, and a million other things to do, and you know, sometimes, just sometimes, I simply don't feel like writing about the arguments in my head. It's OK, it happens to me too". Catherine Zeta-Jones Speaks out about her. I am n...

Falling Starlett: September 2010

Tuesday, 7 September 2010. Blognonymous - A response. I am writing this in response to a beautifully honest Blognonymous post on the lovely Jay's blog, Mocha Beanie Mummy. The title of this post was 'Warning-Dead baby alert' and you can find it here. I have had mixed reactions writing / talking about this subject. And it. Only recently that I have started to talk about it. If you don't want to read a post containing a taboo subjects, don't read it. A website that allows users to reflect, share opinions, ...

Falling Starlett: February 2012
http://fallingstarlett.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 20 February 2012. Its been a while since I posted here. There are some good reasons for this. Equally, there has been laziness, on my part. So exactly what has compelled me to update with this post? Well, a few things actually. I have recently returned to the land of the living and have rejoined Facebook and Twitter. After a 6/7 month absence from social media, I have to say that I've found the adjustment of talking to people again quite challenging. I learnt this the hard way. And this is my end...
