Doctor #1: When I was having seizures regularly, life was so good. I only had to deal with one doctor (neurologist). The Doc I had put me through a series of tests, including an MRI. Doctor #2: Time went by and suddenly I had two doctors. Through LA county I was assigned a doctor to […]

Another Interview
When I first started this blog, about a year ago, I interviewed myself as an introduction to my blog. Now that I’m restarting it, I figure I should do the same. So, here we go: What is your favorite color: green or blue, it depends on the lighting. When was the last time you had […]
The Only Thing That’s Constant is Change
I like “change for the sake of change”. That’s what a former employer of mine told me. It was before I was diagnosed as bipolar so I’m certain she was right. Promoting change is perceived as one of my faults or assets, depending on who you ask and what day it is. Living up to […]
Wendel the Bipolar Sociopath

Vincent
I’ve mentioned before that Vincent Van Gogh has always been my favorite painter. I’ve marveled at his masterpieces and the deep passion in each one. “Lust for Life” is written about the life of Van Gogh. Vincent and his brother Theo wrote back and forth frequently and fortunately for the rest of us, Theo saved […]
So Pretty, and Witty, and Gay – Part III The Conclusion
I was a young man having a hard time accepting I was gay. Due to my bipolar disorder I already acted strangely, felt outside the rest of the world and felt lonely. I didn’t feel shame, but didn’t one more thing that would make me different than everyone else. God knows, I already felt different […]
