A Semi-Charmed Life?


I am a twenty something female learning to deal with a lovely cocktail of Bipolar II Disorder, anxiety, and OCD. These are my musings. I also hope to create awareness for these conditions and create an open dialogue among people sharing the same struggles.

“Everyone’s a little bit bipolar”

whenextinctionoccurred:

No! No, they’re not! Not everyone has a ‘little bit’ of a mental illness that can literally make them unable to function like a normal person in a debilitating fucking state of mind.

Everyone has emotions, yes. But not everyone has mania. Not everyone has deep depression. Not everyone has the mixed fucking episodes.

So just stop. Stop pretending you understand. Because you don’t.

This is like saying, “Well, everyone gets sick sometimes,” to a person who has cancer.
