Breaking through the stigma associated with mental illness is something that we need to bring to light. Spreading the word and talking about it is the first step. People are afraid of what they don’t know and, in most cases, people have not taken the time to understand such a complex issue. Lets face it, if it doesn’t affect you directly you’re not to concerned about researching it. Every day people continue to live in their small world, their box of life, not venturing out into the unknown unless forced too. What can you personally do to contribute, spread the word? We can only control our own actions so it’s up to you to do something!!! Check out www.nami.org/template.cfm?section=fight_stigma to see how you can help. If you know of any additonal websites or organizations that people can visit to help please let me know! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

Fridays are always fabulous, especially when they lead to a three day weekend! I’m staying focused on the positive and continuously doing things that make me happy and healthy. I truly believe that your mind is much more powerful than you can ever imagine: if you want something bad enough, it will happen! I know what my goals are, I have daily affirmations, and I have purpose… this all leads to happiness. Do you know what you’re doing here, what’s your purpose? Have you thought about it lately? If you haven’t you better start, I promise it will make a world of difference. I’m bipolar (I mean crazy) and I love life, there’s not one single person in this world that would make me feel any different about me, I am who I am… and that’s motivated, driven, intelligent, honest, and most importantly… happy!!! (no one can take that away from me!!!) – XOXO CrazyInHeels

Still doing good, happy to report! I’m waking up in a good mood and staying in a good mood, this is so exciting! I don’t think you can truly appreciate the good days without experiencing the bad days. I believe that because I’m, oh… soooo… blessed with being crazy, I’m more in tune with my emotions and I experience life on a different level than others. Now, I know that can sound crazy in and of it self but those of you that are “crazy” get it and those of you that don’t.. too bad! haha I chose to see the positive side of this disease because that’s the only way I’m going to make it through this oh.. soooo.. crazy life!  I don’t feel bad for myself, pity myself, blame, or make excuses for myself. Sure, I’m a little “crazy” but who isn’t?? I have just as much of right to be here experiencing life as the next person. Life is what you chose to make of it. If you think something is wrong, go to the doctor. I’m tellin ya… you can feel normal! Get of your bootie, dust off you heels and start living!!! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

What a great day to go to happy hour and have a margarita! That’s what I need after yesterday, a drink! I had to spend $500 on my car when all I went to get was an oil change, OMG! I’m just glad that I at least had the money to pay for it, like it or not! That’s the way you have to look at “life” sometimes. Meds are still working great and I’m busy running around doing this, that, and the other. I stopped at the mall to get a gift for someone and it took all I had not to wand over to look at the heels, the dresses, the jeans… and whatever else I could possibly buy that I would love to add to my already overextended wardrobe (as if that’s possible :p ) As I left the mall I was happy that my “Manic Shopping Girl” didn’t come out as I wandered through all the lovely’s, haha!!! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I started saying OMG making fun of everyone that says it because everyone abbreviates everything and it seems like such a “tweeny” think to do (is that even the right label??) but then I started saying it ALL the time, negating all reason for saying it in the first place! OMG!! HAHA Anyways, back to my life, which is sooo normal it’s crazy! I’m so happy that we have FINALLY found the right cocktail of medications again. If you’re in the middle of a med change, or need to make a med change, or you’re so sad right now… please know that it’ll pass! Go to the doctor & work with them on starting meds or simply making some adjustments. There is no reason for you to continue living in sadness, moodiness, craziness, agitation, and frustration… come to the light! I’m fully medicated and loving life again, heels and all! I’m able to meet with friend for a martini, shop at the mall w/out losing my mind when I can’t find a parking spot, enjoy calling friends to catch up, enjoy going to work, and of course getting dressed up for a night on the town…. heels… check… dress… check… makeup… check… I feel alive again!- XOXO CrazyInHeels

Crazy busy right now, wearin down the heels of my heels ;p I’m glad to be feeling like a “normal” person that can function in the real world! The days are busy and can be very long but I’m living and learning with a normal state of mind, well… as normal as I can get?! I’m glad to leave behind the sad bottomless pit that I was stuck whirling aimlessly around for weeks. I feel like I feel more, love more, and live more because I’m blessed with this fabulous “mental disorder”. I experienced the worst of the worst but it makes me appreciate the best of the best! My emotions run deeper than most as my mind wanders to the extreme side of every emotion. Happy for now and enjoying ever minute of it! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

Yay, I’m still in a good mood. The new med is working great!!! I’m thankful I was able to take the week off of work to get back to the crazy silly girl I am but I’m going stir crazy…. so … stir crazy & mental crazy, what a combo! I’m excited to get back to reality. I have a few friends getting married in the next month so I will be VERY busy for the next few weeks. I’m looking forward to being able to celebrate, the crazy girl I’ve been the last month would not be able to stop crying long enough to make a toast. I didn’t think I would ever get back to “me” but I did and I’m excited to get back out there, heels and all!!! – XOXO CrazyInHeels
