Forgiven Debts | Success Re-evaluation | Workout

Forgiven Debts I learned the Our Father prayer when I was very young. It is probably the only one I know without anyone else saying it with me at the same time. Never really thought about it, in-depth, until a friend shared his meditations on the prayer. Today, I read over the part about how we ask God to forgive our debts upon the condition that we forgive the debts of others. It wasn't until I forgave my parents that I have been able to accept God's forgiveness. And, though I spent […]

A new study of about 80 individuals finds that metabolic disorder, as indicated by insulin and leptin resistance, are linked to decreases in memory, attention, and executive function in those with bipolar disorder.

Metabolic health emerges as key to brain and memory problems in bipolar disorder

While they share similar depressive and cognitive symptoms, the biological underpinnings of bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder are distinct. A novel study appearing in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging is the first to identify clinically relevant pathways linking metabolic dysfunction, brain structure, and cognition in mood disorders, with stronger and more specific effects observed in bipolar disorder. It highlights the potential of targeting metabolic pathways to improve cognitive symptoms in bipolar disorder.

Definitely going to start using the term "postdrome" for that period just after a mood/psychotic/both episode in bipolar disorder. The days to weeks after that I've previously called an "episode hangover". Where you're not in the episode anymore but you're not better yet.

Someone I know does some of their "most stupid" things during that period. I can't relate but I remember this period after multiple episodes, especially back when I was still working and I had to return to work immediately after my hospital stay helped me get out of the episode. But also after I was no longer working and after one episode all I could manage to do was play Sudoku for weeks while it felt like I was rebuilding my brain.

Anyways I looked it up and postdrome specifically means "a symptom or set of symptoms that occurs after a particular condition has passed." Sounds like exactly the right term to me!

Had a pretty validating experience at work yesterday. One of my co-workers brought up how there should be a term for that post-episode period (mood, psychosis, both) where you're no longer in the episode but not quite better yet. This can last days to weeks. I know this period well.

When I spoke up to relate to that I mentioned how after my last psychotic episode, during that period, it was like I had to unlearn my delusions. Once I was on a med that kept the psychosis and mania away, the internal pressure and focus and inability to disbelieve the seemingly random shit my brain would put together was all gone but the delusions themselves were a bit like wheel ruts in a dirt road. I had to learn how to get out of them.

(That process is still ongoing, though very uncommon now. But it was worst in the first few weeks after.)

I didn't say all of that. But it was really nice to see other people have experienced this too

Wonderful Day| Bird Set Free

Family Time Made jambalaya. Had my two daughters, and my daughter's fiancé, and my dad over to the apartment. They loved the food which made me feel happy. My food hasn't been turning out so good lately; that happens when I'm not feeling well. Happiness Spending time with my family made me feel very happy, and I like watching everyone interact. Detachment When I was younger, I would detach when I felt pain. So, this led to a long time on my own. And while that helped me, it also […]

My Poetry | Luciano, A Funeral Dirge

Morning Prayer (Lauds) Prayers This morning, I woke up at 0400 and wasted a little time. Then, I decided to open the Universalis app and read morning prayers. As I read through the hymns, psalms, and canticles, some dormant part of me began to reawaken. Poetry A long time ago, I had a very popular poetry blog and kept in touch with poetry bloggers from all over the world. And then I stopped. There are many reasons for this, which I won't write about here, but I think it is because I […]
