    • About Me

      Incredibly complex, confusing, amusing and irrationally irritated. I am bipolar when I am up I am unstoppable when I am down don't cross my path. My mental health conditions help me act in emotionally charged selfish hedonistic acts regardless of the outcome. Close to death, too many times. Will to live, I am trying my best one day at a time. Is it bipolar? Who knows I have never had a good experience with a doctor...only time can tell.
