This is the perfect example of how bipolar disorder disrupts your life. You can be a person who has absolutely everything & it still strikes. You can be a spokesperson for the disease & have it knock you down. It does not discriminate. You don't wake up in the morning & go "Hey I feel like being a lil melodramatic today", it's something you have no control over.
With this disorder you fight to keep your head above water but sometimes you find yourself beneath that wave & unfortunately that's exactly what's happened to Justin. Please keep him & the rest of us who suffer from this disorder in your thoughts & prayers.
I have hope that I can stay above that wave.
