Dear stranger reading this. I don't know you but I know no matter how bad it feels right now, it will get better. the sun will rise and there will be another day where you don't feel the way you do right now. Making it through the pain you feel now will be worth those good moments ahead of you. Don't you give up on yourself, I believe in you and even though I don't know who you are, I love you.

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know absolutely nothing about. Be kind. Always.”

I have a mood disorder. What that means is I have issues regulating my emotions.

Let me let you in on a secret. It fucking sucks MOST of the time.

So on those rare occasions my #bipolar has me feeling amazing I refuse to feel guilty while I enjoy it.

Its my fucking silver lining. Just keep my credit card away from me.

I've encountered countless people who use and value Brave, but a common complaint is it can feel messy from the beginning. So, I'm throwing my hat in the ring and sharing some advice to make Brave more minimal & uncluttered, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6cKFliWW6Q

Some days it just feels like no one loves you or cares what happens to you.

I know its my #bipolar #depression but It certainly feels real.

You are worth the love shown to you. You are worth the self care. Give yourself some grace.

I suffer the pain of my depression publicly because I refuse to be ashamed of an illness I did not ask for.

I shout my heart into the void of the internet in the hopes it might connect with someone on a deeper level so they understand they are not alone.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

—Martin Niemöller

I was told to smile more... here we go.

Everyone deserves privacy.

I am so tired feeling this emotional. I no longer want this heart. I am tired of being swept away in a tsunami of pain.

You spend 1200 on a Samsung phone and they won't allow you to turn off notifications from the Galaxy store that sends you advertising notifications. You also can't disable it. Or even change the battery optimization.

I am always inspired to write my feelings down after i come out of a #depression I do this to remind myself that the next time i'm in that dark place, that it will end and my inner light will shine again.

Every last one of you are my hero.

Researchers uncovered some nasty vulnerabilities in Apple's Find My network:
"It's like transforming any laptop, phone, or even gaming console into an Apple AirTag - without the owner ever realizing it"

Let's break it down.

"The attack uses a device’s Bluetooth address combined with Apple's Find My network to essentially turn target devices into unwitting homing beacons[...] they were able to pinpoint a stationary computer's location to within 10 feet, accurately track a moving e-bike's route"

I still mourn losing the life I had before my breakdown. I loved connecting with people who were nervous and scared in an ER and timing a joke just right to get a smile and a laugh.
I cared, and people sense when you really care and that got me through my entire career.
With dyslexia and a GED I had the honor of being able to serve my fellow person in a time of need. My mouth and my heart were my qualifications.
I miss that person.
