the neurodiverse mind meets the neurotypical world

The neurodiverse mind meets the neurotypical world.

I’m Lizzie.

I am a mother of one.

I am a wife (also of one).

I am an educated 30 something with a steady job and a regular life.

But this isn’t always the case for people like me. People living with conditions like mine.

People living with a severe mental health diagnosis.

I have spent the first 30 odd years of my life waiting for ‘things to be better’ or the ‘conditions to be right’ in order to do something, take the chance, bite the bullet.

But for all its worth, I might as well be waiting for Mercury to retrograde in Sagittarius on the 13th full moon of the month of Septober…

I think you get my point.

I am bored with waiting. I am bored with ‘not yet’. Because before you know it, there will not be another ‘yet’.

Only ‘now’, and ‘today’.

So let’s not take the bull by the horns, let’s fucking straddle the metaphorical beast and ride it into submission (no animals were harmed in the making of this blog post).

Because life is good.

Life is worth living.

Even with a shitty diagnosis – or two, or three.

I will discuss my life on this blog and how I navigate the neurotypical with a comorbid diagnosis of Bipolar II and Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

And if you wanna come along for the ride, or can relate it to your life – hell, if you just wanna watch a crazy ass bitch struggling to grasp at reality – then laugh, cry and sing along with me.

Where there is life, there is always hope.
