Do you ever wonder if the way you are feeling a particular day is real or not? Are you really feeling good and motivated, or is it the beginning of mania? Often times, it’s hard to tell the difference. Sometimes I feel like I don’t really know who I am, because I don’t ever truly…
It wasn’t that long ago, I remember literally listing the illnesses I would rather have than bipolar disorder.
