Middle Weather Days.. Top Story - November 2023.
This is it. The weather I’ve been waiting for. Yesterday, in Austin, Texas, we didn’t see the sun. Today was sunny and 80 degrees, but yesterday- sigh- was gray and cloudy and just the right amount of drizzly all day and the kind of weather that just makes me feel so soft. The heat makes me sad and angry. The sunshine makes me feel like I should do something productive even if I don’t want to. But on days like yesterday, on glorious, sprinkling days full of gray, the weather demands nothing of me. It is middle weather. It makes me feel like the only thing I have to do is snuggle or drink warm beverages or stroll or watch movies, or really just do anything I feel like doing, and it’s the only weather that makes me feel this way, and thus, it is my favorite weather.

Bipolar Disorder
What is bipolar disorder? We've all heard various things about bipolar disorder, some accurate and some stigmatizing and incorrect. Today, I want to delve into the distinctions between bipolar 1 and 2, the experiences of those living with the condition, and the most effective ways to manage its symptoms. Firstly, it's important to recognize that individuals with bipolar disorder can lead fulfilling lives when receiving proper treatment. It's common for public discourse to focus on those who struggle to manage their symptoms, but it's vital to understand that they do not represent everyone with bipolar disorder. Additionally, individuals with mental illness are accountable for their actions and may simply require professional support to make positive choices. Displaying compassion and understanding as they work towards managing their symptoms is incredibly beneficial. It's also helpful to grasp the diagnostic criteria for bipolar 1 and bipolar 2, as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). While the DSM is not exhaustive, it provides a framework for identifying symptoms and understanding the diagnostic process.
