I have found a pattern with learning. I take on information that I am truly passionate about and interested in well. Sometimes to the point of living through the information where it kind of starts to restrict me. Then I will swing to the complete opposite and almost unconsciously forget everything I have recently learned, reverting back to the ways before this new knowledge was discovered, usually to my surprise... I am not sure if this is a pattern of my own, or the integration process of ... Read More

For years I suffered with depression on and off. It was clinically undiagnosed because I didn’t trust the medical system (and i worked in it briefly) and refused the idea of going on any type of medication that was suggested every time I mentioned how I felt to a doctor. In my opinion, for me, medication was just a bandaid, I didn’t want a bloody bandaid.

Did you know that men’s moods are just as variable as women’s moods? But women can at least predict when their moods will be less than optimum. In a study done by a woman named Alice Dan, she measured mood every hour, every single day for 1-2 months of men and women. She found for men there is a circadian rise and crash in testosterone everyday, but the rest was kinda irregular. However, I think there are larger cycles at work here with men, perhaps greater than a month, almost quarterly, ... Read More

I have been quiet recently and it is because I have been feeling pretty disconnected and crappy in myself, lots of low self worth stuff coming up without really realising it. Every time I’ve gone to post something I’ve thought ‘what’s the point?’ I’m travelling at the moment, settling into a new space for a while and kind of put my cycle compass down for a few months. Sure, I know what phase I’m in but I have found myself asking lately ‘what does that even mean? Soooo I’m in reflective phase ... Read More
