Well I'm in the throes right now, so from the front lines: feeling like I having to apologize for my behavior constantly, while the world remains a loud, hostile, and unapologetic place. Since medication, I am far more sensitive than filled with rage.

Not knowing if it's a legitimate response or the disease.

So I guess those poop colored BP glasses. I would like to add, I'm on a freaking cocktail of drugs which I diligently take, so also when your drugs fail, or side effects become too large, that is also a super fun part of the disease. You take your meds, and it comes back.
