Hello

I once had a blog called Girl in a bottle. I have wanted a new public blog for a long time but I could never get a better fitting name. So here it is: Girl in a bottle II.

I am 34 and will try to reveal not too much and not too little of my life in this exercise so that I wont be shy to show it to friends or strangers. The original GIAB blog was for strangers only, and it had waaaaaaaaaaaay to much private stuff in it. I had to be a closet blogger, and I ended up taking it off line. I have a love for writing in French and English. Let's see where I can find that delicate balance expression...

Writing is therapeutic and somewhere along the line I want to help people who are a little bit like me. I have dystymia, which is a mild but permanent or chronic depression. It's a subtle ailment that's hard to pin down, because there are tons of other reasons why someone might feel a little under the weather from time to time or for longer periods on occasions. Its hard to treat too. Just finding help can be a nightmare.

But, I've learned a thing or two in my quest for a peaceful head. I'd like to share it with my stories. I also have an idea for a tool to track my moods and measure the impact of different external variables on it. If i go ahead with building it (a software), I will post my progress here.

Aside from all this my main interests are art and beauty, travels, words, books and life's moments. I could go on with lots of stuff, but I'm not sure what will make it's way here yet. We'll see.

Amourxxx
