"F.A.C.E.L.E.S.S.: ghosts

Riding the Wave ... And the Trough

I am mentally ill, diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder I, OCD, ADHD, PTSD and a vitamin B12 deficiency (a key element in brain development). For over 12 years, I took anywhere from 5-8 psychotropic meds each day, and have been recently giving myself a monthly injection of B12.

In January 2012 I was hospitalized for depression, and management of my currrent med cocktail. Immediately all but two of my meds were discontinued and, after a few weeks of adjustment, and some near hospitalizations, things seem to be going much better.

I have been on permanent disability since January 2010, and am adjusting to life on a very limited income.

My prayer is that in walking with me during the ups and downs of Bipolar Disorder, you might find solace, and benefit through my experiences.

So, what do you think about "paranormal activity"; ghosts, poltergeists, spirits, hauntings, etc? Especially during this time of the year, it seems that everyone is interested in these things during the Halloween season.

Costumes representing ghouls, goblins, Batman. princesses, knights and vampires fill shelf after shelf of every store. Thousands of foam tombstones, animated witches and ghosts, fake spider webs; fake blood and scars; rubber brains and disembodied eyeballs for all to use in transforming the beautiful fall season into a ghoulish environment.

What is it about people that makes them pretend they want to be scared, but in reality the thought alone scares them? There might be a very small group of people who simply love being scared shitless. Most people, however, take their scare-factor to the level of being silly, and not a step further.
