Medicated and Uninspired

I've been on meds for about close to 2 years now.

I used to have spurts of creativity, but ever since I got on my meds, I stopped having these highs, or manic episodes where I would write poems and posts.

I can't say I miss being in the hospital too much. I like my freedom, and being in the hospital takes that away from me: no phone, no laptop, no way to contact the outside world. If I were to ever go back in, I'd borrow some books from the library before going to get admitted - mostly romantic type books.

I may be bipolar, and the medication may be numbing, but at least I still have this platform, even if nobody is reading what I write. It's cathartic and therapeutic to get to write, almost like journaling, but public.

If I were more able, I'd draw a nice cartoon to go along with this post. Maybe I'll give it a try:

Ta-daa!

I'm thankful for this laptop, it makes writing and drawing a breeze. I have my dad to thank.

I still have all my loved ones with me... I am super thankful for that as well. There are so, so many things I have to be grateful for...

In the grand scheme of things, perhaps being medicated and uninspired is not as bad as it seems...

Abstract: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects approximately 13% of women globally 1 . While hormonal changes play a role, there’s growing interest in the spiritual dimension of childbirth. When the spiritual process of birth is interrupted—often due to medical interventions like cesarean sections—mothers may experience a profound sense of loss.

Introduction: Childbirth is a transformative event that encompasses physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. The spiritual aspect involves a deep connection between the mother, baby, and the universe. When this connection is disrupted, mothers may experience spiritual postpartum depression (SPD). SPD differs from conventional PPD, as it centers on the loss of a sacred bond during childbirth. The Exper...

The Deeper Meaning Behind Katy Perry's 'Roar'

The music video for "Roar" by Katy Perry showcases a powerful story of self-discovery and (surprisingly) spiritual transformation. In the video, Katy Perry is abandoned by her male companion in the jungle, leaving her to fend for herself in the wild. However, instead of succumbing to her circumstances, she embraces them and learns to connect with the natural world around her. This video symbolizes the spiritual journey that many people go through when they are faced with difficult or trying circumstances in their lives. When faced with adversity, it is easy to become disillusioned and disconnected from our true selves. We often get caught up in the trappings of modern society, losing touch with the natural world and our inner spirit. Katy Perry's journey in the video highlights the importance of letting go of our material possessions and reconnecting with the natural world. By embracing her surroundings, she discovers a new sense of power and strength within herself. This...
