Am I ever a normal person? I don't understand anymore. I have only had 2 full blown manic episodes and I am 25 years old. I went from manic do severely depressed within a matter of weeks. Now I am feeling a bit more "normal" but I'm pretty sure "normal" is depressed.
I pose a question to all of you, do you feel "normal" in between your periods of depression and mania? If so how often. I'll estimate with percentages.
I feel like I am :
Manic - 10%
Depressed - 80%
Normal - 10%
But I dunno what normal is anymore :(
