Nightmares and Laughter

A Supportive Community for Mental Health
No Judgement – No Stigma – No Shame

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.

This blog is primarily about living with mental illness, substance, and sexual abuse issues.  I write about my struggles with bipolar disorder, the everyday joy, pain, and peeks into my life, always an unflinchingly honest look at the struggles and victories from my experience.

I also write about goats because they are funny.

 I want to be an advocate of sorts for people suffering in silence.  I want all of us to remember that the diagnosis is not the end, it just makes us stronger.

***Please note that I am not a doctor. Do not try to diagnose yourself based on anything you see online.  If you are concerned about your health, get help from a professional.***

Like many others, I deal with adversity and pain with humor.  This is frequently fairly dark and self-mocking. If this sort of thing is new for you, the article on Gallows Humor may be helpful.

Here’s a picture of a goat because goats are hilarious.
