I AM BIPOLAR

What does it mean to be sleeping for hours one day and unable to sit still the next? To be euphoric, where anything is possible, to not wanting to wake in the morning.

I have days when I’m absolutely exhausted, but have to keep moving, my body screaming to sit down but when I sit my head screams to get back up. I am a machine that cannot turn off.

I have days where I lie in bed just staring out the window. I may be dying of thirst and busting for the bathroom, but I can’t get my mind to move my body. On those days I feel empty inside.

I have my good days too, my normal days. The problem with those is, I’m either deciding there’s actually nothing wrong with me or constantly asking whether this is really what it feels like to be normal.

My mind has no off switch. It’s mostly a movie in fast forward where you see the scenes rush past but can’t make out what’s happening. Holding a thought is like holding water.

This is my life, I am bipolar
