Answer: It feels like standing naked in Times Square during a tornado with all my nerves exposed so I feel everything so intensely as well as experiencing all sensations intensely. It's horrible.
New question: Does your bipolar isolate you?
|
Well since as you know I just found out I was diagnosed with it I'm really upset. Isolated? Its more ironic because my ex husband is diagnosed bipolar, my daughter refuses a diagnosis, but she has been also diagnosed with a mood disorder. My family is in utter and total denial about mental illness. My mother thought I was on welfare the whole time I was on social security because of my PTSD.
Yeah I'm angry and yeah I accept I have a mood disorder, but bipolar?
So isolating, no, not at all, but I never ever saw myself as bipolar.
