What Do You Do When The “Funk” Won’t Wash Off?
Dealing with the ups and downs of Bi-polarism can be difficult, but funny.
Alright, so while many people spend time in and out of psych wards and rehabs I just simply indulge in as many little airplane bottles of vodka that I can purchase from my nearest liquor store. Okay, so that’s not exactly how I should be handling my little “funk”, but it’s not like I can wash it off you know? So, what do you do when the funk won’t come off? I’ll tell you. Take the time to hone your comedic skills. Yes people I am speaking of making fun at yourself. Now, this exercise may come at the expense of others around you, but hey Adam Sandler didn’t make it where he is today by only poking fun at his misery. Involve those around you. If they know you well, then a little dry, insensitive humor won’t kill them. If they know better they might be worried about you trying to hang yourself in the door of the nearest Walmart. Hey, I’ve given it a thought myself many times. Seriously folks, though we may be bi-polar and unable to qualify for gun permits, we can still handle this!

Just as I was starting this blog my cousin called. She proceeded to tell me about her great night she had out with friends having cocktails, live music, and apparently some inappropiate jokes between frat boys and sorority sisters. Sounds great right? Well, according to her it ended with her getting smacked in the back of the head by her new gentleman friend all while being told she was talking too much. Yeah, she’s my cousin and I love her, but being that this week I’m a bitter 34 year old stay at home mom with no life and possible midlife crisis issues, I acutally applaude the guy friend. I mean really. A 22 year old I’m -always -diva -and- all -creatures- bow- down- to- me has the nerve to call me after three martinis to cry about her friend smacking her in the back of the head was not exactly my idea of joy. It just means that you aren’t the world and everyone revolves around you honey. It means that it’s time to grow up and stop thinking that everyone should roll out the red carpet and wipe your ass with the hems of their t-shirts. Get over yourself! That’s why you should drink at home sometimes and get your school work (she’s a senior in college) done.
You guys see where I’m going with the whole dry and insensitive humor at other people’s expense? This is why blogging is so freakin’ popular. You can make snide comments and crude emotional jokes, never mention any names and get paid doing it. Slick ain’t it?
