ABOUT ME
- Suzanne Rowley
- South Yarra, Victoria, Australia
- I am first & foremost a poet, second a wife & third a nurse, with all other things trailing somewhere behind. Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in 2008 I was encouraged to keep a log of my moods & what better way than a blog! Here you will find some of my writings, photographs & everyday thoughts, being somewhat clandestine in the past regarding my psychological problems, this blog will serve as a confessional of sorts.

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that researchers at the University of Edinburgh have found that people with Bipolar disorder suffer from an accelerated shrinking of their brain? The study also proved that the changes get progressively worse with each relapse. Good reason to stay on the meds!
