Ok... Fine... I'm Bipolar...
So ummm yeah... I just got out of the psych ward, and heh... It looks like I'm definitely bipolar.
At least to the extent that psychiatric illnesses are an imbalance in brain chemicals that the meds fix.
First night they gave me I think 25 mg of seroquel to sedate me a bit and get me to sleep.
Bad move, it punched my mood up to a nice 20 out of 10 and then I spent several hours running around the ward trying to tire myself out. Next day they put me on lithium, and I swear, my neurons and nerve fibres reacted to the lithium ions as if, like starving people to manna in the desert, or drops of water to those dying of thirst.
I've fucked up my life, and far more importantly I've been a pretty shit friend.
Forgive me?
Anyway if anyone actually wants to get in contact with me or suchlike. I'll have a friends only post following this one with contact details. Or you could just reply to this post or something.
