The Redheaded Stepchild
depressionIt has been a month since my last update and not a lot has changed. I'm doing very well at my job, I just had my 2 year wedding anniversary, and things are pretty settled. I have even stopped taking two of my psych drugs. So far, so good.
The past month has been spent excelling at my job. I've accomplished a lot and they are really happy with my progress. I've decided to go back to college and even got a grant--I start in about 6 weeks. I even went back to therapy after a 6 week hiatus. I walked in the NAMI walk--while pushing my friend in a wheelchair.
I've accomplished a lot in the last month and I should be pretty darn proud of myself.
But I'm not.
The truth is that I'm proud to be mentally ill and the last month has been spent not being who I am. At work I used to be known on the mentally ill guy. Now I'm just known as the redheaded guy. I spent free time working on this site and talking to others about mental illness. Now I ignore the site and spend my time talking about homelessness.
All the while www.theredheadedstepchild.com sat by and waited. Waited for me to finish it and advertise it and fulfill the promise that I made to it when I conceived the idea almost a year ago.
So now its time for the Stepchild to stop being beaten and rise up to its full potential.
What the hell does that mean?!?!
Here is the current www.theredheadedstepchild.com business plan:
1. Recruit volunteers to help me finish the site (anyone?)
2. Finish the site
3. Advertise the site via press release (I have enough $$ to try it once)
4. Change the price of the wristbands to $Donation + $3.00 shipping (regardless of order size)
5. Hope.
