The older I've gotten the more I've come to realize that it's not so much my problem as it is the problem of living in a profoundly disturbed and psychotic society. I don't really believe in the concept of "high functioning" and "low functioning" people with mental health disorders, particularly bi-polar, but more like we having varying degrees of tolerance for the bs we've been surrounded by, or have accumulated over the years. Why on earth anyone would actually want to function normally in a world that is intent on destroying itself is beyond me... and it's gotten harder over the years to be square with that.
