More of my doodling as art therapy post-mania because I felt too uninspired to be creative. I began doodling quotes and song lyrics to express what I was feeling, and I liked the imagery that took shape combining a treble clef, hockey stick, and pair of eyes wearing glasses. These were all meaningful to me. This was one of my first drawings after my second manic episode that made me feel inspired again.
I bought this workbook while waiting to be connected with a therapist after we moved from Calgary to Toronto, a year after my diagnosis. I wish I'd bought it immediately after being diagnosed, as I knew basically nothing and my Calgary therapist was not a good fit.
My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage in 2005, about 2 weeks after this ultrasound picture was taken. I wrote this article in 2013, when I was finally able to write about it.
In 2018 my husband broke our ukulele after an argument because I had reduced my medication and was going manic. I took a picture as proof that I'm not the only one who has extreme emotions, just the only one who is punished for them.
