Liz Spikol was born in Philadelphia sometime in the 20th century. She started writing about her experience as a person with mental illness in 1999, while employed at Philadelphia Weekly as the paper’s managing editor. Aside from serving as that paper’s web editor, music editor, staff writer, senior editor, executive editor and a host of other random roles that she couldn’t make up her mind about, she has also worked as a Spanish teacher, as a Certified Peer Specialist during Philly’s system-wide transformation and as a communications specialist for a prison reform organization. Currently, she works at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania and writes book reviews for PW. This blog — named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 and 2008 by PsychCentral — is about medications, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, SAD (and many other acronyms), mad pride, Big Pharma, celebrities, hospitals, stigma and the recovery movement. And other stuff.
Only if you pay your doctor’s bill on time. Cats can be vicious.
After spending 15 years in the financial services industry, I am now the night janitor at my old high school. Why? Because it is a job I can do even when I am seriously depressed. Anyway, one of the English teachers prints off the LOL Cat of the day (as shown above) and tapes it to the blackboard each day. I swear I went through long periods when this was the only laugh I’d get in a day. Sometimes they are kind of goofy but mostly very very funny. Tip of the day: laughing helps reduce depression (mostly). My own cats don’t see the humor but I guess the joke is on them. Dave
I read recently that no psychiatrist is more effective than having a puppy lick your face. I know that works with full-grown big dogs, and for sure it works with cats.
