One day you wake up and you feel high, you wake up energetic and you don’t just want to attack the day, you want to destroy it with your power. You feel like you have a superpower of mega-strength, and you see no end in sight. Then one day, it all comes crashing down and you are asking yourself if life is truly worth living, because all you feel is pain, sadness, anger. Having bipolar disorder is a biological mood disorder, your brain is making chemicals naturally but in wrong amounts, causing an internal battle between light and darkness. Bipolar disorder is somewhat used incorrectly in daily culture. For example, your partner may say “You’re being so bipolar”, or you say “you love me and then treat me horrible.” Bipolar disorder is not so much directed externally towards other people as it is an internal push and pull between a righteous mountain of mania and trench of despair and depression. Mania is fun, your brain is basically naturally tricking you into feeling extreme pleasure. The mind is racing at one hundred miles per hour, yet you feel in control. A flight of ideas occurs in the mind during mania, and depending on the severity, it can lead people into financial debt from acting upon it or ending up in the hospital from taking physical risks, because inside, you feel immortal, invincible. Many people who suffer with bipolar disorder don’t seek help or realize they are suffering until their scale tips in the opposite, very dangerous direction of depression.
