I was just recently diagnosed w bipolar, and I was going over my facebook posts from the last year to see if I could see a trend. And it seemed that for a few weeks I'd be all exclaimation points and people would be commenteing that they want some of what I was having, and then it would be negative nancy for a few weeks, how horrible everything was, and then back to energy and encouragement, and then back to black and dreary and why does my life have to suck so much. I was always chasing those highs! I don't want them if they lead to lows however.
