Today’s art therapy!


I’ve started doing some CBT from this site. It helped last night when I had a bit of a breakdown and got upset. So I decorated a little notebook, and I’m doing their worksheets in it. Here’s the notebook.

Everyone needs a rainbow giraffe with paws!

I am kinda hypomanic.. well, a bit more than that. I’ve left messages at my pdoc’s office. Unfortunately, he’s moving, and I think I have to switch pdoc’s. Toronto is pretty far, in case of emergency. That sucks. Really sucks. But I have to be realistic.

Here’s my little card on today. Things were good today, I had a decent day.

It’s nothing really special. Just a journal card.

And for my final post, today’s masterpiece, my d20 roll. I said 16. I was trying to decide between 15 and 16, so what did I do? I rolled a d20. It came to 16, so I decided on 16. I updated my mood chart (“Pretty high”, but not “REALLY high”) and made this.

I love bright colours.

Even though I am (hypo)manic, well, I can’t help that today was pretty good. I accomplished a lot on a website I’m programming. It’s a med/mood/symptom tracker that is easy to use. Well – for the users. It’s not that easy to program, and I’m learning a LOT of new PHP and MySQL. I’m learning how to make graphs and stuff, which is really neat. I’ll reveal it when it’s done. And Mama Bear posted an interview she did with me. I’m excited and nervous to see what my mom’s interview says, which will be posted later this week.

I’m also nervous to hear from my pdoc tomorrow.

I’m finally reading Fahrenheit 451, read a good chunk of it, and going to continue in a bit. Tomorrow I think I’ll knit if my back and shoulder aren’t killing me. I think I’m going to start Wingspan since I have a 90 peg loom. I’ve been dying to start that. Baby stuff can wait! I have really light yarn I can use.
