"I compare myself with my former self--not with others. Not only that, I tend to compare my current self with the best I have been, which is when I have been mildly manic. When I am my present "normal" self, I am far removed from when I have been my liveliest, most productive, most intense, most outgoing and effervescent. In short, for myself, I am a hard act to follow."— Kaye Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
About Me
May Voirrey
I'm a middle-aged woman living under the delusion that I'm much younger. I'm married, and have a canine/feline assortment. I am estranged from almost everyone, especially after they all couldn't run away fast enough when I was first diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and then became suicidal--and dared to talk about it openly. I work with people from all over the world. I probably could have done something great in my lifetime, but my brain didn't cooperate long enough for that to happen, so I proudly embrace my averageness, mediocrity, and limited contributions to the betterment of mankind. So much wasted potential. Oh well. I have a lot to say about that and many other things.
