My name is Xanthe Wyse.
My health hasn't been great lately both mentally and physically. Been recovering from an upset tummy. Mood has been low with a lot of triggers lately.
I don't feel up to speaking when I am hibernating (avoiding). I don't like to be vulnerable (such as recording a video when I'm not up to it) but I think it's important to show some of the reality. Despite years of treatment for PTSD, I am still affected.
The latest painting of a kereru is called "Water Brings Life". I've had a lot of compliments about it but it's very much a portrayal of difficult themes, such as processing grief, for me. The song which is linked to it for me is "It's My Life" (Bon Jovi) - my interpretation of some of the lyrics, including '...hear my voice'.
I wanted to respond to a few viewer comments. Bipolar Courage is my mental health channel. Soar Purpose @soarpurpose is my creative expression channel.
One of the triggers is it's coming up the anniversary of my Dad's death. He died when I was recovering from surgery for skin cancer (the scar on my lip).
I have spoken at length over many videos on my perspective of what my clinicians (several of them over the years) have said, versus how I experience things internally.
I find speaking hard. I did it though, as video shows another aspect. Visual arts is more my forte, followed by writing.
I currently have two websites with blogs:
www.soarpurpos... (more art focussed blog plus art for sale)
www.soarpurpose...
(general creative expression & mental health stuff plus book links).
I spent years on my self-published books, which communicate greater complexity than my blog posts and videos. My books give insight into what bipolar disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder are like. The memoir also has a lot of content related to autism spectrum (from direct experience).

This was the video I referred to, processing PTSD creativity (would be unlikely to tell but it was processing anger): • PTSD. Processing anger...
Негізгі бет Does PTSD affect me more than bipolar disorder? Low mood. Grief. Voice.
