    haven't been around these parts in a while.

    ten weeks ago i was brought to a psych ward for detox & suicidal intent. after sobering up was diagnosed as bipolar 2, which is an extended major depression followed by hypermanic episodes lasting 4-7 days. provided a lot of clarity on the past 20 years of life.

    spent the last two months inpatient at a psych facility dealing with SI (suicidal ideation), alcoholism and mental health. finally thinking i can face the world again, just got a 60 day chip and whatnot, will be returning to life & attempting to live.

    then i just found a bump on my back has turned into a large painful something or other that could certainly be cancerous but fingers crossed that it isn't.

    so suffice to say life has been interesting / it's been a long year.
