So Sick of Drowning
http://rielouise.wordpress.com/
At first glance, it may appear as though my blog about '90% about whining how miserable my life is. This is far from the truth. Dig a little deeper and you'll find posts about cats, art, nature, IT, relationships, the military, politics, history, psychology and much more besides. The blog does however deal with the issue of mental illness and if you find those posts 'miserable' it is because I was in the middle of a relapse. But if you work hard you will ultimately be rewarded.
