To me my life is pretty normal but from the outside looking in apparently I am mentally ill! Not just a little bit either I am afraid entirely bonkers! Well that’s what my psychiatrist says.
I live with bi-polar effective disorder and emotional unstable personality disorder…sounds tiring all ready right?!
Let me tell you what this means …basically from the minute I wake (if I have slept that is) my life is one hell of a battle. These two illnesses come with a multitude of exhausting behaviours that by all accounts are ‘not normal’… some may say I stand out on a crowd!
My moods are unpredictable they literally switch so fast Mo Farrer would have a job on keeping up…one minute laughing, next minute tears fueled by crippling anxiety…I can’t breath! It feels like my whole body is being crushed. I dont ever remember a day where this didn’t happen I thought everyone felt like I do…they dont I am told.
I hope my blogs will give an insite to living with mental illness…its just an illness after all!
