As many of you may now know and for those of you who don’t know, in the last few weeks my life has slowly but surely fallen apart around me, leaving me in the ashes of a mistake that I’ve regretted for the last month as it set all these situations in to motion.
The mistake you ask? I naively thought I could control a condition of was diagnosed with several years ago. Cyclothymic Disorder, a form of rapid cycling bipolar, I have lived these past years fighting the constant battle with my mind. For too long I fought this battle alone, and the toll it has now reaped has left me broken, but it may have won the battle but I’m determined not to let it win the war!
The first offensive in this new war was to tell my closest friends, something I’ve never wanted to tell anyone. The stigma of mental illness is well founded in modern society and has led me down this dangerous road, where I’ve lost close friends and ones I’ve loved over the fear of anyone knowing. Now that phase has ended to next attack with be on here…. the internet and in particular this blog, where you the world will find out more about me than I’ve cared to share with anyone for years.
Hopefully with you as reinforcements I can turn the tables and start to win. For that I thank any of you who are reading this, feel free to comment, ask me questions and generally interact with this blog and I’ll appreciate it and thank you again in advance
