The Life of a Bipolar Chick
Filed Under Bipolar Disorder | 1 Comment
For those of you who don’t already know it, I’m bipolar. That one scary word… that brings all kinds of crazy thoughts to your mind. I’m tired of this illness being stigmatized so much. Yeah it’s a mental illness, but it isn’t much different from depression (which is a socially acceptable and very common mental illness). There are different types of bipolar disorder, but the gist of it is the people with this affliction have episodes of moderate to extreme happiness (mania) as well as episodes of moderate to extreme sadness (depression). It is just as treatable as depression. I’m sick of being judged for being bipolar. It sure isn’t something I wanted or asked for, but it is a card I’ve been dealt. I struggle with it every second of every day. I will never be “cured,” but I’m being treated and doing a lot better.
