A Little Bit About Me

About Me

A Little Bit About Me...

I am writing this blog for myself.  I have been a writer of shorts, a poet (proser?), a journal writer and such, however this is the first time my musings are being posted  for anyone's consumption.  Most days, my thoughts ramble around in my head, affecting my emotions, sanity, and relationships on the quiet. 

If any of my writings, or descriptions of myself, make an impression - awesome!  Hi!  If not, then... well to quote mystery detectives down through the ages "move along, there's nothing to see here". 

I am ... any number of the following :
  • Depressive
  • Anxious
  • Music lover
  • Quirky
  • Short
  • Creative
  • Humourous
  • With occasional OCD tendencies
  • Introverted
  • Nerdy possibly geeky
  • Deprived or depraved (depending on  the day)
  • Casual photographer
  • Obsessive about trees, rocks and water (see bullet directly above this one)
  • Voracious reader of mystery, thriller, fantasy, science-fiction, literature novels
  • Round, ye Gods, let's not forget round!
  • Theatre-lover (professional and community)
  • Trichotillomaniac
  • Phobic (flying insects and arachnids)
  • Married
  • Human being (depending on my mood and point of view)

The prose I wrote back in the day was full of teenage angst for sure, AND, what I now know to be undiagnosed depression and anxiety.  The weird sensations of the world speeding up, but my actions were all slowed... and no matter what I did I couldn't catch up... I never understood.  I remember explaining those sensations and my Mum discarding them as nothing important.  

After years of therapy for other reasons, and reading self-help books, articles and such, I came across the description of that slowed-reality.  Crazy.  Literally.  Especially when combined with the Trichtillomania - another discovery thanks to all the reading.  Let me clarify tho - reading from tried and true websites - not the Dr. O-types or the fad stuff - I read books and web articles by competent authorities.  Do try this at home! 

So this blog - is me.  That is but a wee spoonful of the bizarre person that is the author.  I hope you find something out of what I write here - a kindred spirit, another pea in the pod, a wack-a-doodle that is amusing, or somesuch.  Hope you come back now!
