So where to start…Well I guess you’re wondering why exactly am I writing this blog?

To be honest, it’s something I’ve been internally debating about for a while. That is until a friend finally pushed me over the edge to take the plunge into the big scary online world of blogging – *and POP* there went my maiden blog cherry….

This is my online ‘vent’ – an outlet for all the random and crazy cerebral diarrhoea that can randomly pour out of me at any random moment, just one of the many joys of living with bipolar disorder. So by putting it out there to the universe, I’ve discovered that I’m slowly ever slowly becoming ‘lighter’ from all the toxic junk bubbling just below my surface. It also gives my much loved and treasured family and friends a break from my uncontrollable verbal dribble. Plus by putting it out there, I feel I can be more honest than talking to an actual live human being – isn’t wonderful how we are all so caught up on that little thing called JUDGEMENT……even from total strangers?! In all seriousness though, this friend convinced me to take the leap of faith that I needed and as it turns out, this blogging thing, is actually the cheapest form of therapeutic release there is!

So brace yourself to be immersed and probably a little gobsmacked by the brutally honest and truly bizarre experiences that make up the travelling circus that is my life, as an outback mum living with bipolar disorder.

Be gentle….
