Weekly Wrap-up – March 8th, 2020

Happy Sunday, y'all! I've had a fun morning filming and editing a new video for my YouTube channel. This was my second choice for thumbnail, and I think it's too hilarious not to use somewhere. It's been a strange week for me as I've been sick and my moods have been all over the place, but…

Weekend Update – March 1st, 2020

I'm finally back! It's been a much longer hiatus than I thought it would be, but it feels so nice to finally be back to blogging! My mental health is in a better place now that my psychiatrist has weaned me off the oxcarbazepine and upped my dose of Wellbutrin. The withdrawal process was rough. I…

Friday Wrap-Up – August 16, 2019

So far, August has been about reading as many ARCs as I can as quickly as I can.

I started Read Yourself Happy because I was lonely and didn't have any bookish friends to talk to in the city…

Friday Wrap-Up

Thoughts I'm not sure what I want to talk about here this week. This past week has been a mental struggle for me. The thing that drives me crazy about being bipolar and that has driven me nuts long before my diagnosis, is the inconsistencies of my mood. It's exhausting to wake up and not…

Sunday Wrap-up – May 5, 2019

Thoughts Yesterday I took a long drive down to the town where I grew up. It's probably been close to two years since the last time I was there, despite the fact that I currently live just 45 minutes away. Part of the reason it took me so long was that I have such a…
