All of my life - I mean since childhood - I have been told I was "way too intense, eccentric, weird, changeable, and that I take things too seriously". For example, if I sense an injustice toward someone/something I lose my mind and fight to right the injustice. I mean, I will fight injustice until I'm completely drained and feel sick. To me, that feels like my God-given responsibility. I hear music in my mind constantly and see vivid colors. Everything feels alive to me and everything has a personality. Besides animals and people, this is especially true of trees. I have way up's, moderate downs, severe anxiety, anger, rage, and an immense amount of passion. The world never looks real to me.

So for those reasons and maybe more I have been diagnosed with BD and put on medication.
