I’m not doing too well today. I haven’t been doing well for a few days actually! A few days ago I had catatonic depression. My mother came over and helped me clean my room. That helped a lot!
Yesterday I was up and down. I decided to go to a movie last night so that I didn’t have to hear my depressed thoughts. That helped a lot!
Today I am fighting IT again. But it won’t win! It never does.
Bipolar depression is a scary thing, but I remind myself all day long- It’s an illness.
Today is a tough day in terms of work. I have an article due for BP Magazine and it’s a struggle. I just remind myself of what my books say. I don’t have to feel like doing something in order to GET IT DONE!
It’s 7PM. I am going to finish my article and get to bed early. As always, my plan is to go to bed feeling better than when I woke up. I will accomplish that tonight!
Bipolar disorder is an illness. You probably see yourself in what I write- because we share an illness.
I want this to go away forever- but it just hangs around sometimes! It’s an illness.
You will be able to read my magazine article in the fall. Because I’m going to finish it right now….
