General Information Only

This blog is for general information purposes only.

I am not a mental health professional nor am I a doctor. I am someone who has struggled with Bipolar II Disorder since my teens. The diagnosis of living with Bipolar II Disorder was made in 2019 which means that my illness went undiagnosed and untreated for 40 plus years. Over those years I developed many poor coping strategies that I have had to unlearn and replace with new tools and techniques that enable me to live with this illness.

This blog does not provide medical advice. It does not give a diagnosis. While treatments may be discussed, it is not a treatment service.

I stress that the information provided is not a substitute for medical or professional care. You should not use the information you read here in place of:

  • a visit;

  • a call consultation;

  • and the advice,

of your doctor or mental health professional. I urge you, please do not disregard medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read on this blog. Similarly, do not rely on the information I share here in place of seeking medical advice.

What I share is my experience only. Your experience will likely differ so your treatment plan will likely differ as well. This is normal. We each have our own path to healing.

If you have any questions about anything you read on this blog, I urge you to talk to your doctor or mental health professional for more information.


If you require the help of a mental health professional, please contact your doctor immediately or go to your nearest hospital or walk-in clinic. IF YOU HAVE SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, PLEASE CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY AND SEEK THE HELP YOU SO RIGHTLY DESERVE. You are more worthy than you appreciate, and you deserve the opportunity to heal.

My Self-Care Plan: Its Design and Purpose

Having attempted suicide, I'm well aware of my own vulnerability and of the dangers my unchecked thoughts and moods create. Given this, I believe that it's essential that I have a Crisis Plan - what I call My Self-Care Plan  - in place to help supplement my safety should the crisis arise. This is that Plan . In presenting it to you I include notes explaining why I've structured My Self-Care Plan as I have. As you'll read in those notes, I view my Plan as something that helps me not only in a time of crisis, but as I conduct my everyday life. My Self-Care Plan Shortly after I attempted suicide, I read about crisis plans. I immediately sensed that this was a tool that I'd benefit from; however, I didn't know how to create one so I asked my case manager to help me. He agreed and made a few suggestions on what I might want to include: the warning signs of mood change, the signs that immediate action is needed, who to approach for help, how to distract myself, etce

Introducing Righting The Ship

We steer the boat of our lives into healing and recovery. (from a former X account @CombatstressVet on March 26, 2021) When I read that sentence, I immediately thought of the name I've given this blog, Righting The Ship. To me, this sentence perfectly captures why I chose that name. Righting The Ship is about weathering storms, about correcting the list towards depression or hypomania caused by those storms. It’s about grabbing hold of the helm and steering the ship towards healing and recovery. The name is three small words that evoke hope, balance, and future. I can imagine approaching the rocky shoals of depression and despair, or the oncoming rogue waves of overwhelming hypomania. The ship is storm-tossed, yet I see the lighthouse shining ahead, directing me to the safer path. It offers solitude ahead thereby preventing me from capsizing, from sinking, and from losing my way. I admit I did think of being clever with the name, calling the blog Writing the Ship. This, I felt ca

A Word of Explanation

The beginning of Righting The Ship on Blogger is the end of a long, winding, fitful, circular creation. Perhaps end isn't the right word but in a very real way I'm back to where my blogging first began. I have come full circle. My first blog was called The Three of Me and I created it on Blogger in 2015. Initially, it was a private blog shared only with my son so he could track my recovery after a suicide attempt. However, he believed that others might benefit from my writing and encouraged me to make the blog public. In this, and in so much more since that suicide attempt, my son has been a steadfast and loving support. He has taught me so much and I deeply appreciate everything he has done, and continues to do, to support me. For reasons that are, frankly, not fully known by me I moved from Blogger to a hosted wordpress.com site and then to a self-hosted wordpress.org site. The Three of Me name stuck around for a while, and I added a second blog called jots and thoughts. Unex
