One of my older sisters is currently in a mental institution being treated for bipolar 1 disorder... I have bipolar 2 disorder & haven't received any treatment...until now, I haven't noticed it too too much....it's just enough that it's annoying but I'm trying to make sure I realize it & account for it... My girlfriend texted me (yes I'm bisexual), and I was super happy to hear from her, then I got a little upset cause she was one-wordy & mentioned it, she apologized & assured me nothing was wrong & I was happy again.. All was good... Then out of no where it was like a light switch and I was depressed & kind of mad?....I've never been mad at her, I've never had a reason to be and I still don't have a reason to be... So rather than be snappy I told her I was just gonna go to bed and said goodnight...but it was frustrating for me to have to account for it...and I have to be so conscious of it now... I've gotten into fights with good friends because out of no where I snap & I'm angry... It's starting to get annoying but now I aknowledge that I do have this disorder I'm going to try to keep it under control... I don't drink at all anymore, 18 days 'offically' sober, and I don't do recreational drugs at all.. It's just a pain to have to account for it all the time & go back and apologize to people because I never would have snapped normally....
