The Colour of Madness: December 2016

http://thecolourofmadness.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, 18 December 2016. Once upon a time. Time They say it heals all wounds and they say it flies, yet wounds will continue to heal so very slowly as life flashes past with lightning speed. Another year has passed, yet another year that I thought I would never experience but I blinked and there it went. And I am still here. The reality of the last 18 months is nothing eventful has happened, no major events. Nothing much has happened that I would have missed out on if I was not here. I still hav...Rain ...

The Colour of Madness: August 2016

http://thecolourofmadness.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 31 August 2016. A big portion (pardon the pun) of my day is spent thinking about, cursing, regretting, planning or eating food. I have had a poor relationship with food my whole life and an eating disorder since I was 14 years old. I was an overweight child. Not grossly overweight by today’s standards but a heavy set, flubby tummied, wobbly thighed kind of overweight. I had started piling on the kilos when I was around 8 years old and worst of all, other kids quickly noticed. When a hypomanic ...

The Colour of Madness: October 2016

http://thecolourofmadness.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html

Monday, 31 October 2016. It’s funny the things that seem plausible when you are manic. On houzz.com and pintrest for inspiration, just some of the things on my must haves list were as follows:. A Tennis/ Badminton/ Basketball/ netball court all rolled into one. Soccer / Rugby field combination. Sandy Volley Ball Court. Swimming Pool with sun deck, cabana and sauna. Fire pit with nice seating and an outdoor cinema screen. Image Stolen from HERE. Proof of my amateur horse riding. A dressage arena may actua...

The Colour of Madness: On Top Of The World! (well, Australia)

http://thecolourofmadness.blogspot.com/2017/01/on-top-of-world-well-australia.html

Wednesday, 11 January 2017. On Top Of The World! It is the summer holidays here in Australia and the kids are hot, sweaty and bored. So hubby and I decided to do what anyone else in this situation would do and drive 4 hours away from our comfortable couch and go on a 6 hour 20km hike up to the top of the tallest mountain in Australia and then drive home again, all in one day! So after wails of “My iPod’s flat, are we there yet? There were abundant mountain streams and little springs where we could refill...

The Colour of Madness: September 2016

http://thecolourofmadness.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 27 September 2016. Its currently half past midnight and I am penning this on my trusty iPhone while lying in my bed being a good girl and not getting up and running to the computer. In half an hour my internet connection should work and I can post this – and all the other mildly manic garbage I have written in the last few days. Fuck it, I’m going on the computer anyway. None of this is real anyway so just let it go, release me into slumber. What have I done? I confessed to her that as well as r...

The Colour of Madness: January 2017

http://thecolourofmadness.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, 29 January 2017. Mental Illness and Mothering, my hard truth. Ok At the risk of losing all of my friends and followers but in the interests of ending the stigma, I am going to be brutally honest in this what turned out to be extremely long winded post. Mothering with a mental illness is hard for me, some days its fucking impossible. At 32 I still struggle to raise myself, I wonder how the hell I can raise four children. When I look at my offspring I see myself in them, they all have my eyes and l...

The Colour of Madness: Up, Down or Sideways?

http://thecolourofmadness.blogspot.com/2016/11/up-down-or-sideways.html

Monday, 28 November 2016. Up, Down or Sideways? Crickets* Ah 'everyone' who am I kidding, hi to both of you. I have been ultra-terrible at blogging lately – computer issues haven’t helped matters but it is working today *scrambles to touch anything wooden* so here I am. On the other hand, my breast was sore, uncomfortable and noticeably a good cup size different to the other one and I really did want to know what the hell was going on with it, even if that was going to end in a me refusing to have treatm...
