From Blue Zebra: About Me, About You

As someone with bipolar disorder, I have found that no matter what, in all my brilliance and all the great things I have done, a significant number of my vast social world has branded me as completely crazy and everything I do should be second guessed and judged with scrutiny.

The others treat my infrequent episodes as just that, help me, look out for me and judge me none the less, as if no more than had I not had this illness to begin with. I find that those of the former lot are the most insecure about how they are perceived in this world and the latter live quite comfortably within their own skin. I think it says a lot about human nature.

Please never not love yourself, no matter how distorted your, or unforgiving others', thinking may be, for we have some of the most profound and richest of souls. What we, bipolars as a culture, bring is vital and a crucial part of society, I sincerely believe, for we are the writers, the singers, the artists and the guides through this human condition.

So even in the throes of the most debilitating depression and with whatever you can grasp at those perilous depths, somehow, somewhere, find a way to dig as deep as you possibly can to where this notion can securely reside and always and forever remember that it is there.
