The Story of a Bipolar Bear.

Illnesses can take on many forms. Those of the body are easy to treat. Much more difficult are the hidden maladies that fester in our hearts.

Bipolar disorder.

  • Mercurial.
  • Quicksilver.
  • Irrational.
  • Flickering 
  • Movement.
  • Rigid. 
  • Self-destructive.
  • Invincible 
  • Beware.
  • Crippling 
  • Wilt 

The disgusting feeling one feels when she finds out her family back home neglects/isolates my uncle with a mental illness.

No one will understand the pain it feels when you lose a sibling right on front of your eyes.

No one.

Dear people who think cutting is stupid or for attention,

How exactly do you cope with your “pain”? Party, sex, drugs, anger, making out… Oh wow. Your coping skills are way better. Firstly, everyone copes with pain differently.  Your way of coping with your pain aren’t any better. Cutting is a release of mental pain. It not stupid or for attention. It is people with REAL FUCKING PAIN. They are trying to stop. They don’t want to cut, they feel it’s the only way to help them. Stop judging and start helping. Start making a difference in their lives. 

Sincerely,

An EX-cutter.

Cut-free for 9 MONTHS.

Now it’s a year and 2 months.

When I think of crazy people, I think of Charles Manson, Jeffery Dahmer, Casey Anthony, people like that. When I think of crazy people, I don’t think of a sad 21-year-old college student who really loves her stuffed polar bear and Disney movies. 

I’m not crazy, you’re just a rotten bitch.

  • society: You don't eat? Anorexic freak!
  • society: You're a size 4? You're supposed to be a size 0!

  • society: You're a C cup? That's my mums size.
  • society: You had sex?! Slut!
  • society: You haven't had sex? Hah, you're frigid!
  • society: You don't think you're pretty? Attention seeker!
  • society: You think you're pretty? Conceited much?

Am I the only one who laughs when individuals I encounter/see online/in reality state their strong opinions on matters such as mental illnesses and drugs.

I find it literally amusing now. 

Stating that people with physical disabilities/mental retardation should die is beyond anything I could imagine.

Sometimes, I wish they would learn their lessons such as temporary paralysis. (I know  I know, I sound cold-hearted, but growing up with a sister who was disable/mentally retarded, I wouldn’t wish death on an innocent soul).

Also, the idea behind  mental illness being an invisible disease.

Last time I checked, so is cancer, lupus, heart disease, diabetes…

WAIT WHAT. 

Yes, define “invisible”

Something you can’t see?

Last time I checked, none of you and neither did scientists a few decades ago could see cancer or diabetes. 

People with cancer a few decades ago were send home to die.

It was/still is a mysterious disease.

No one could figure out how leukemia happened.

Every fucking disease goes through an “invisible” phase, and until we figure out what this is, you can sit back and stop talking shit you don’t know anything about.

I slightly find this funny because this is the typical argument for people who think people who commit suicide is “selfish”
“Think of your family”
“It’s an easier way of solving your problems”
“Don’t take the shortcut”
Try being me for one hour and you’ll probably want to die too.

givemetime-andacrayon asked: Do you have any ideas of how to correct people on facebook that call things like the weather bipolar without letting people know I have bipolar disorder?

Oh man. 

No one on my facebook knows about my bipolar disorder except a few which I usually correct by being direct on facebook.

However 99% don’t know and I have seen a couple of nasty “weather is so bipolar” statuses and I honestly try to make themselves look stupid.

I usually start from this:

“What do you mean by bipolar”

“Mother nature has too much mood swings”

“What type of mood swings”

“You know, sad one day and happy the next”

“I didn’t know mother nature could feel sadness, anger, lust, irritation, happiness, frustration, love…”

“Wait what?”

“Yeah, the definition of bipolar the one you “defined” is a mental illness which many people struggle with. Not something you label with a fluctuating weather pattern.

Take a science class and learn some shit.”

Or you can just say

“I’d rather not you talk about the weather in that manner, it’s offensive to people who have bipolar disorder. A clinical disease that affects millions of people. “
