http://bipolarrealities.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/random-thoughts-forgetting-to-laugh/ I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after a severe psychotic episode in college at the age of 19. That was a little over four years ago. This is my take on my day-to-day experiences with mental health since and also some excerpts from a memoir project I started in college and am returning to now.

It's like I'm so consumed by my episodes I can't see anything positive in my life. I like watching old clips from "Whose Line is it Anyway?" and I have a few funny movies that I watch as well. I think the worst part about the highs is that you know they're going to be short-lived and it seems like no matter what you'll always end up stuck in a rut again. I know how you feel.
