Ive been diagnosed bipolar since i was like 10. im 18 now and honestly its so unbearable. When your little all the doctors can tell you about bipolar is that there is a "chemical imbalance in your brain in which causes your moods to be like a roller coaster, happy one moment and sad the next" that isnt even the 1/2 of it. They dont mention the bad thoughts, they dont mention the nights where you cant sleep or eat because your so hyper and you dont realize it either cause you TO hyper. I cant honestly tell you i understood what bipolar was until just recently.
