A really fucked up mental disorder characterised by extreme moods swings of mania and depression.
When you're manic, you feel as if you're invincible, you can go multiple nights without sleeps, you go on crazy shopping sprees and engage in risky sexual behaviour.
Then suddenly, you wake up one day and realize your mistakes, but it's too late, you're now on your way to a full blown depression episode, you spend most of your day feeling like shit, and considering suicide. That is when you're not sleeping for 14 hours straight on a Thursday noon.
A person with bipolar can never really feel 'normal' because they're constantly engaged in an inner war inside their own minds.
Bipolar is often trivialised as just moods swings, it's much more then that. While it's true that the average person can experience moods swings from time to time, bipolar moods swing lasts much
longer and are much more intense.
If you or a loved one are suffering from bipolar I'm terribly sorry for you. Medications and Therapy can help, but bipolar is a lifelong condition that effects every aspect of your life.
Bipolar disorder is hell on earth
