It’s a pleasure to meet you! — Brief Introduction Hi! My name is Robin Christine Honigsberg, and I’ve been writing seriously on Medium for about a year. I’m less than a month shy of my 46th birthday in July, single and never married, and I write a lot about living with mental illnesses, among a variety of…

A short story — Meredith opened her eyes and yawned. The room, heavy, dark and gray matched her mood. I still have two hours until the alarm goes off.

When I smoke marijuana, it makes me more creative, productive and helps me focus — I solved the problem of being ADHD and trying to write. I smoke pot.

The end of Daily Savings Time marks the start of my regular yearly winter depression — It’s that time of year again. The only day of the year I hate more than Valentine’s Day has arrived. I’ve been dreading its arrival because it’s the day my yearly winter depression awakens from its year-long slumber and swings into action. The end of Daylight Savings Time (DST). Six…

A poem — You decided your fate with the choices you made. Wanting to escape the punishment of having me as your daughter, not caring as you pushed me away, and taking your love and throwing me away like yesterday’s trash.
