I. Am. Bipolar.
I have my highs
I have my
lows
I will be laughing about my life one minute
And crying about it the next
My switch is one or the other
But sometimes the switch breaks
And that is the scariest part
The numb feeling
Senseless
Hopeless
Unfeeling
Dead
Wanting to be nothing at all for a moment
So I don't sleep
Or eat
Or sometimes even move
I am a slave to my mental illness
I sometimes watch my friends lose interest
In anything I have to say
Until something knocks the edge and the switch is adjusted
And so is my mood
Then everything is fine
Or ******* awful
I. Am. Bipolar.

I have Bipolar 1 disorder which is also known as Manic Depression. I live a normal life but can have up to 4 "episodes" a week. I get by, like anyone else would. It's just a shame those around me have to live with it too.
