A Quiet Computer Lab…
It has been so very, very quiet this morning in the computer lab and it is making me extremely drowsy. I’ve been working on a solution to why some of our computers aren’t sleeping automatically. Rain is softly pattering on the roof and that is not helping along with the subdued light in here. I keep propping up on my elbow and almost falling asleep. Noon can’t come soon enough on this rainy day – a good day for crawling in the bed and sleeping. It is not helping to do a little day dreaming as well where I stare off in the distance and quickly almost drift off in sleep. An Interesting Hump D...

Do I Have ADD? ADHD QUIZ Tries To Give You an Answer
Anybody who knows me knows that I have a shrine dedicated to Dr. Edward Hallowell in my library. I have read and reread his books multiple times and loaded them up with so many commentary-filled color Post-It flags that my bookshelf sags from their rainbowy weight. So when I learned that Dr. Hallowell had apps available for the iPhone, I jumped at the chance to download them. They're also available for Android. The first one I'm going to share with you today is ADHD Quiz.ADHD Quiz is a self-assessment quiz, so if you were hoping to find out how many ADHD kids it takes to screw in a lightbulb, you'll be disappoint...

Breakfast is Served…
Maggie and I had yet to eat our breakfast this morning when we passed Central Elementary school. There were some wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen of that school as we passed making my stomach grumble harshly in protest. We hurried home with extra zest so I could rustle the Mags and I up some grub. Today’s breakfast was just cheese grits and Aunt B’s biscuits. Simple, but delicious. Dad brought me another supply of Aunt’s B’s biscuits which he gets somewhere in Lagrange, Georgia. An Extra Hand is a Helping Hand… Mom called me as I was heading to bed last night. “Are yo...

Train Situation
I was exhausted today, but not because of school. There was a mixup of what time I had to be at the train station, and I ended up being there an hour early, so I had to wait for my train. I don't know how long I'm on the train to get to Chicago but it's over an hour. Then I walk over a mile to get to school. I barely made it to class, was there an hour and a half, then it was time to go back home. I got to the train station and was thirty minutes early. Rode the train back home, then the drive back home. So how long was I gone for a 90 minute class? SEVEN HOURS. Mark just doesn't get it yet.&n...

This means things are going smoothly and we are on schedule. Today is grocery day for me and one of my favorite days of the week. My mother said she was getting her hair frosted today so she may be a little late, but I don’t mind. In a few moments, I will drive by Kroger and see if she’s made it there yet as well.

The Antidepressant Era: the movie
No apologies here, this article (and videos) have been lifted straight from David Healy’s excellent website. It’s important that as many people as possible have the chance to read the piece and take time to watch the film. As far as the pharmaceutical industry is concerned, I can tell you from first hand experience that the industry still believes in its own hype… do more, feel better and live longer is Glaxo’s strapline and no one in that company thinks there’s even a hint of irony in that.

New Life?
My life has certainly become more social since moving to Chicago. Mark has been coming here for years to work and his good friends are all here, so there was an automatic social group I moved into with party invitations and social events waiting. His friends and their wives are all nice, it's just weird. They know HIM, not me, and...at the events, he's always one of the top leveled executives from his workplace at parties, so I don't know if people are just nice to me because he's their boss or what he can do for them at work or if they really like me. Yes, they seem to like me very well, they ...

A Brighter Day Forebodes Even Brighter Tomorrows…
I feel much better today both physically, mentally, and psychologically. Yesterday was a very, very tough day in the annals of my mental illness. I took several Clonopin, crawled into the bed, and slept for the rest of the day and all through the night. I couldn’t find contentment or enjoyment out of anything beforehand. I was just a miserable old soul wandering around this little house with Maggie in tow worried about me and my abnormal behavior. Mom still buys me lots of Chef Boyardee which is a comfort food to me. She keeps a supply of them in case I run out of food before grocery day. I just knocke...

Meditation and the Brain - The Bipolar Question of the Week
A week or two ago, I mentioned in passing that I have been viewing TED talks on my desktop. Call me crazy - listening to highly intelligent thinkers and doers expound on cool and inspirational stuff does more for me than enduring the bitchiness of the judges on American Idol.

Mania vs Hypomania and the DSM - A Need for Greater Clarity
This is the fourth in our discussion of psychiatry’s diagnostic bible, the DSM. In May this year, an updated edition - the DSM-5 - will replace the current DSM-IV, which has been the last word since 1994. Last week, we had a look at bipolar depression and mixed states. This week we will look at the other end of the pole - mania and hypomania. The DSM-5 will preserve the criteria for DSM-IV mania and hypomania just about intact,...

“Just what are you doing?” I asked Charlie earlier today as he was working on my parent’s ice maker. The backdoor was wide open, Mom was sound asleep, and Charlie told me to be quiet so as not to wake her. I was there to get my Cokes and something to eat. “You startled me,” Charlie said with a smile. “Don’t sneak up on me like that. Here, see if you can get this ice maker to go into its slot.” It took me just a few moments and then it clicked into place. “You shithead!” Charlie exclaimed goodheartedly. “I’ve been trying to do that for thirty minutes.” I then reached into my parent’s frid...

Dad told her just to stay home and rest, but she showed up, did the grocery shopping, and prepared a wonderful meal. We had a fried chicken breast, creamed potatoes, green beans, black eyed peas, and cornbread. Not pictured is two deviled eggs and a green salad with ranch dressing.

Finding Out What Works Best for YOU - Not the Mythical Average Depressed Patient
Yesterday, I advanced a case for making a clear distinction between agitated and vegetative depression. In a nutshell, we are talking about too much vs too little, as in too much emotion (anger, sadness) vs too little (psychic numbness), or too much thinking (eg over-ruminating) vs too little - on and on. We have a major paradox in action here: Even though we are talking about two conditions with entirely opposite symptoms, we would acknowledge...

The Work Programme Model is Broken and Rewards Corporate Idleness
Reblogged from the void: Last night's Panorama went some way to exposing the floundering Work Programme, Iain Duncan Smith's fantasy scheme that is currently having no impact on long term unemployment beyond bullying, demoralising and sanctioning claimants. What Panorama didn't touch on was the reason for the shambles, which goes far beyond a few bad apples in welfare-to-work companies. The entire model of the Work Programme is broken and based on the lie that unemployment is caused by unemployed people. Read more… 1,032 more words

Affordable Housebuilding Collapses - and it's going to get worse
Reblogged from the void: Figures released today show that genuinely affordable housebuilding - meaning housing that most people can afford to actually live in - has dropped by 28% in the last year. According to the National House Building Council, the number of public sector housing registrations dropped from 36,680 in 2011, to 26,390 in 2012. This dwarfed a small rise in private sector house building, meaning the number of new homes built overall in the UK fell by 9% last year. Read more… 270 more words
