"the analogy that i like:
you're like a ship 🚢 out on the ocean 🌊 & your anxiety is your crewmates that are like, hey, iceberg ahead or whatever, trying to give you information.
& if you choose to ignore your crewmates, they're gonna stop following orders...& they're gonna get disorderly."

when i was first diagnosed #bipolar i scrambled for resources, experiences, accounts - anything that would make the diagnosis explicable & understandable to me. kay redfield jamison's work, especially her book an unquiet mind, was an absolute godsend

perhaps it's my early morning stumbling-into-consciousness receptivity, or the breathy vocals or the reedy clarinet washes, but this is giving me abstracted, space-expanded movietone vibes.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

what fascinates me about meditation is what also draws me to ambient. each draws awareness to the elasticity of time, its contractions & dilations. time, like water, has no shape. it takes the form of the vessel you place it in

starting work on a zine project about my bipolar diagnosis experience. i want to find ways to normalize, demystify & de-mythologize the diagnosis narrative. it's kinda like a coming out story, which i guess could dovetail with how i'm starting to truly embrace my overall queerness 💚💚🧠💚💚

you don't need fancy gear. you don't need technical expertise. when i started producing i didn't have mics, cool analog synths & drum machines or even a keyboard. i used free instrument vsts & recording software. don't fetishize the tools. focus on the inward need to create & just get started.

just got banned from a bipolar subreddit for reaching out for thoughts about bipolar awareness month. i was diagnosed bipolar 1 in 2012 & now self-produce a mental health podcast for which i am paid $0. how do we "raise awareness" if we can't even talk to each other?
