Discussion: Mental Health

pexels-photo-806427.jpeg

I know, I know, it’s another blog post about mental health. I know it’s not a fun subject to talk about, but it’s one that needs to be discussed.

I feel like I’ve been in a slump as of late. I often suffer from bouts of depression. When I went to the mental hospital last year I was diagnosed with Bipolar Depressive Disorder. Knowing what has been causing my mood swings and depressive slumps, gives me comfort in a way that’s difficult to explain.

I have also been dealing with physical health issues as well. I went to the doctor yesterday and she thinks it’s my meds. So she gave me some anti-nausea meds. I’m not pregnant, so yay!

I’m feeling better now, and I am going back to reading and reviewing. I hope you guys have been enjoying my reviews so far. I try to be fair with each book, but sometimes, it’s difficult not to pick favorites.

So I appreciate everyone who reads my reviews and is very supportive of me. I really appreciate it!

Retropalooza in Arlington, TX

There’s a convention that I’ve been annually going to since 2016, and it’s called Retropalooza. They host one convention in Houston, TX as well as Arlington, TX. This year they made the attempt to spread out into San Antonio, TX but plans changed. However, there’s always next year!

This year I’ll be going to Arlington, TX (hopefully) to go hang out with other video game fans like myself. It’s so fun to be in an inviting environment where people cosplay and just hang out with their friends, or meet new ones.

The YouTuber panels are the ones I look forward to the most, I make a list of my favorites that I’d like to meet.

I’ve met Jirard Kahlil AKA “The Completionist”.

I’ve met Alex Faciane from The Dex and Super Beard Bros.

I’ve met 8-Bit Eric.

I’ve met Boogie2988.

I’ve met Gaijin Goombah (awesome guy)

And several others that I can list another time.

I am really looking for ward to getting to go again this year (not set in stone yet, but still hopeful) the convention is in September so I still have time.

Anyway, I’ll see what I can do until then! I’m still reading and having the reviews coming!

Thanks for everyone supporting me. It means a lot to me.

Still Planning…

Hello,

I hope you enjoyed Aquaman week! I’m looking forward to seeing how Jason Mamoa portrays the underdog character on the big screen this year!

I just wanted to test something out for the coming weeks. I’m going to publish two novel reviews a week. One on Monday at 1pm CDT, and the other on Friday at 1pm CDT. It’s just a temporary thing to see if this boosts my stats, and if it doesn’t change I’ll go back to publishing once a week.

Just thought I’d give you a head’s up!

Welcome Back to Marvel Week!

Hello guys!

Hope you guys enjoyed DC Comic book week! Reading the Joker-themed graphic novels was amazing and left me stunned and wanting more.

I also hope you enjoyed my review of The Other Side of Midnight by Simone St. James! I wasn’t expecting much from this book, but this book blew me away!

Anyway, on with what the theme for this Marvel week going to be. I was actually panicking a bit because I wanted to do a theme with something that was coming out in March. Then the trailer for Netflix‘s Jessica Jones season 2 dropped. I was saved! It releases on Netflix on March 8th. So I timed it just right!

Anyway, hope you enjoy reading my reviews for Jessica Jones comics to get hyped for season 2! I hear it’s going to be great!
