My mental illness provides very little time for being normal. I am labeled as bipolar 2, which now the pdoc says is better to call a mood disorder. Evidently bipolar scares insurance companies but mood disorders don't.

As I get older the depression and hypomania get worse with each episode, and I meds eventually lose their effectiveness...so mental illness to me is a constant battle to find normal, although I can never quite achieve it, so I just hope for peace.
