Bipolar


Have you had this experience?

One minute you are laughing and then the next sobbing like a child?


All it leaves you is exhausted, shattered and heartbroken. Even with loved ones around you, you can feel so alone and so misunderstood.

Sometimes I can't even keep up with being me! People have an expectation that I just cannot fulfill anymore.

I can't say I ascribe to all these feelings in the image but I understand it better than I want to.

mate I know, i'm just going through recovery time thats all.

Knowing the answers isn't always enough, sometimes you need time and mental space to 'digest'it.

I just hope that its all gonna ease up soon!

Different things work for different people. Me - I went to Ikea and bought a vase that lights up! You can put water and flowers in it and it lights up!! It didn't solve a thing, but it sure does make me smile...! :)

Hmmm, my best friend is bi-polar, as well as my "mum". So I sort of understand it from an outsiders point of view, but not for myself. I'm just raving mad, and when I get over it, it's gone :-) I always feel misunderstood, but make no effort in which to become better understood. And heartbreak, yea well, I'm still wallowing...

i'll have to make it clear this is how I feel at the moment rather than having a diagnosed medical condition. Gonna kill this one now I think and start on something more upbeat!

MEL: The book is "Conversations with GOD: An Uncommon Dialogue" by Neale Walsch.

I could never be described in any way shape of form as "Religious" but this book gave me so much insite and answers that I'm now a firm believer in the minds ability to create whatever it truly wants.
