Most of the feelings I have feel so intense and extreme that when they hit (especially the negative ones - depression, anxiety, sometimes anger) I feel like I literally cannot wait to take action (medication change, talk to someone, etc.). The pain is unbearable. To me, it feels like I am having a life-threatening allergic reaction to my own feelings. I question whether such intensity is indicative of bipolar disorder, or is it (God forbid) my "normal?"
