Yep. In eighth grade, I won the handwriting award. I still have very neat penmanship. It is something people often remark on. When manic it is messier. Sometimes I don't even bother to stay on the lines. I write page after page after page in my journal. My longest entry in my last mania was 17 pages in a single sitting. Both sides.

You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. A name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.
