I'm feeling pretty good today. I'm nervous about later, the thought of all those people really doesn't make me feel good. I'm hoping I can cope. Today I want to rant. I'm sick of people telling me depression is 'in my head', of course it's in my head! I'm sat here fighting with it day in day out. Why do so many people believe that depression isn't real? So of course if depression isn't real then bipolar isn't real. Apparantly I've labelled myself in order to excuse myself from doing certain things in life. Are these people for real? It took me so many years to be able to openly admit yes I am bipolar and now people like this are causing me to doubt myself again. Who would want to make up something like this? The fact that it effects my life on a daily basis, affects who I am, where I go, how I live my life. Yeah I've made it up. It's just in my head.Why are people so shallow and narrow minded? Just because they have no understanding of an illness doesn't mean it doesn't exist.My name's Chele and I'm happy to admit that yes I am bipolar
