Bipolar- Hurricanes and Angels

Author Unknown

I guess a blog is something that I am supposed to post on almost every day so I am going to give that a go, and since no one is following me on here I feel an inexpressible freedom to get down to the real shit of my experience with bipolar. The first question that comes to mind is how much I can say without getting reported and also how much I should divulge or not divulge to save some wankers asses. Hmmmm, we shall see what comes out and hope for the best. Let's maybe just start with the basics.

You are a magician, a shaman, a god, a beacon in the darkness. You are all of it. You are bipolar.
