When I say it Its.. "I AM" but a chick in my psychology class today thinks saying I am .. Is offending?? I like I AM better than I have personally.. I cant control it so it has me i dont have it.. I am it until I get control of it...  |
If, for some reason, I decide to tell someone, which I rarely do because of stigma and stereotypes.. but if I did, I would say I AM bipolar, because I AM manic depressive.. I AM a living rollercoaster. I don't just have a living rollercoaster of emotions, I AM a living rollercoaster of emotions. It is what I AM. It is not a possession. It is not something I picked up at the dollar store, nor is it something I can probably get rid of, or pass onto someone else. Therefore, it is ME. It is who I AM.
Besides.. me without any type of mental illness would be even more boring than it already is.
