The House of Rowdy Cat
Creating Order from Chaos
Name:Rowdy Cat
Birthdate:1972-04-18
Bio:

"What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?"
~ Friedrich Nietzsche


My journal has been private for several years documenting my struggles with Bipolar Disorder (manic-depression), Panic/Anxiety Disorder, OCD, a tendancy for self-sabatoge, and my 20+ year battle with Fibromyalgia. Most of it is now public. This is a scary move for me, putting my deepest, truest self out there for the world to see, since I guard my emotional and mental battles close to myself. But I want to open my world of dealing with mood disorders and maybe help someone else like me or who knows someone like me.

Some of what you read will make you laugh, some will bring tears, and some will make you want to shake me into reality. You will witness my deepest moments of despair - when I turn most to my journal - in the struggle to grasp that medium between black and white, as well as my elation at small triumphs and breakthroughs.

Welcome to my mind, my world, The House of Rowdy Cat.

***

my mind is a bright blue sky
obscured by gray clouds
only paralyzing lightening
allows me to see

the sun
the stars
the unreachable

overwhelming light is extinguished
by tears of unbearable happiness
shadows fall beneath the clouds
i forever walk alone
