Productivity is one of the strongest motivators in my previous life. I’m very proud that I’m a hard-working person who will always give you the quickest and best output in the office.

The Paper Oligarch

Impostor syndrome – [also known as impostor phenomenon, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience] – is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a “fraud”.

Division of labour and specialisation allows for a diverse range of cheap products that help make life comfortable and convenient. Convenience is seen as a good thing; time can be saved doing laborious tasks and spent doing something more enjoyable. Human civilization is on a steady course to eliminate hard work and sacrifice, for a presumably better life of comfort and ease, where no one will feel like they are required to do laborious work to get by or suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out).

The Bipolar Writer Mental Health Blog

I wanted to share a special achievement for The Bipolar Writer blog.

I was told by WordPress that I have reached 10,000 plus followers. Wow. I never imagined about a year ago that this blog would get to this point. I started this blog to share my experiences with Bipolar One, and talk about my brand–The Bipolar Writer.

I never imagined that this thing that I started would take off. I figured that after a month things would change to a point where I would get bored. This wasn’t my first blog.

I am amazed every day that I get to wake up and know that my blog is making a difference in the mental health community. To all the contributor writers, thank you. For all that are following, thank you. It has been an honor to be sharing my experiences with you. To many more amazing people finding…
