Gary Harmon Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 MANIC MANIC MANIC MANIC! WOO! Hello. And hello. And hello. I'm Gary and I have Schizoaffective Disorder (BP 1). I'm currently hypo manic and life is just fine for me. Far better than it was when I was in that depressive funk I was in. I realize that mania can often be an unpleasant condition for most people, and if my chipper mood irritates you, sorry about that. I recently gained insight into, not only my condition, but who I am--my very soul. And, believe it or not, it came as a result of a hallucination I experienced. This, too, I realize is uncommon. Weird. Crazy even for a crazy person. Times are strange for me, but no longer terrifying. Life is starting to make a whole lot more sense. This, however, is something that will not last forever. Eventually (a few months maybe) I'll be depressed again and everything will turn to shit again, and I'll probably be utterly and totally depressed. But that's okay because now I realize that it's not my fault. It's not punishment, it's not divine judgement, it doesn't happen because I'm a worthless, disgusting, subhuman, malformed thing. It happens because I have a mental illness. I I hope to one day make a living from writing. Currently unemployed and living on SS benefits. Aaaaand...my brain shut down. Can't write anymore. I've been derailed. This used to be incredibly frustrating. Can you relate? Sure you can. That's why I'm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
