Whatever’s on my mind really.

A peek at illustration inspiring celebrity sexiness, quirky news stories from inherently pornified pop culture, tips, sketchbook and work in progress, reviews and other things of interest; whatever’s on my mind really—which more fool you if you ever take that seriously.

Latest Picks is a sort of mini-blog for daily thoughts and picks. Longer articles, stories & sketches are found in the full-size blog, where indeed Latest Picks are moved when updates to a story make it too large.

Note: Both Latest Picks and Blog are to be retired at the end of September, although both will remain available indefinitely as an archived part of the site. No further updates to past stories will be made.

Mariah Carey: My battle with bipolar disorder (cnn.com).

Mariah Carey, People magazine Mariah boobs

Revealing for the first time her battle with bipolar II disorder which she was first diagnosed with in 2001 when hospitalised for a breakdown and that she is finally now seeking treatment afgter a hard few years of late of professional and personal upheaval:

“Until recently I lived in denial and isolation and in constant fear someone would expose me,“ she says. ”It was too heavy a burden to carry and I simply couldn’t do that anymore. I sought and received treatment, I put positive people around me and I got back to doing what I love—writing songs and making music.”

It being often associated with those with a creative bent (psychologytoday.com, Mar. 2012).

She is now in therapy and taking medication for bipolar II disorder, which involves periods of depression as well as hypomania (less severe than the mania associated with bipolar I disorder, but can still cause irritability, sleeplessness and hyperactivity).

The irritability and hyperactivity perhaps going some way to explaining her still endearing—unless on the receiving end—reputation as the ultimate diva.

But despite the creativity that often—but by no means always—accompanies bipolar—formally known as manic depression—their is a stigma, and a stigma that has kept someone as successful as Mariah from addressing it.
