After feeling so many high’s and low’s..
I knew I was bipolar.
It is stressful to know that I feel so different day to day…
and I cannot even control it.

This all started after my promotion at work.. Too much stress for such a young person, I
guess. I can’t help my mood when I’m
under so much stress..

I have never actually experienced a true manic episode, according to
my doctor. Just really close.. I guess I just never get that
‘recklessness’ that the people with mania get.

The days I feel super energetic.. I can shop or work for hours without feeling fatigue.. It’s crazy how much I can do on these days.
Wish there were more of these days.

I usually feel depressed after stressful days of
work.. When I feel overwhelmed with work, I just want to curl up into a ball and die. I get so close, too.. I feel
worthless, unneeded, useless..

At least on the days when I’m depressed, all
feelings are numbed away.
These days are the worst.. I feel so worthless but at the same time I have so much stress.

When I feel like I cannot do anything at all, I just want to
die. I mean, who would miss me? I just wanna say goodbye and
disappear sometimes.. I do not really know what stops me..

I’ve come close to mania..
But I guess I’m just not crazy enough yet.
Ha. Ha. Ironic, isn’t it?
I can’t even reach the ‘ultimate level’ of mania
no matter how crazy I already feel..
