My Own Craziness Perfectly Described

A girl I met through a Bipolar group on Facebook recently shared this writing. I think it so perfectly describes the rapid cycling brain, that I thought if anyone was ever unsure as to how my little brain may operate, this may shed some insight. I've copied it below, as written by Rosalie with her permission.

The Rapid Tornado

"You asked me how I'am today, there isn't much I can truly say. Feeling high feeling low lack of sleep and on the go. Rage and anger join the scene, never normalcy in between. Not all cases are the same this is ultra cycling with mixed states off I go again.. Feeling high manic head take a walk, and your meds. Lights are bright sound so loud all of the sudden your afraid of crowds. Feeling low and much despair it is hard to go almost anywhere. Heaven knows what to do this massive pain I'am going through. Rage and anger are back once more ready to start a massive war. So all to see this unusual aggression is nothing more then "Manic Deppression"

Very moving. So much intensity packed in her words...thanks for sharing this Ange. It gave me an idea of what you must feel...........
...it makes me even happier for you when you get to have those happy happy days floating in the ocean in a little remote bay in Mexico.
..Tell Rosalie I appreciated her words and the glimpse into how BD affects someone......
