A “Bi-Polar” Bear that is. :D

Seriously though, sometimes being bi-polar sucks more than usual. I’ve pretty much learned how to deal with the downs, because that’s been plaguing me the majority of my life.

Everyone may think this is strange, but I often find it harder to deal with my upswings. I get hyper, which usually isn’t a bad thing, but I also find it almost impossible to concentrate on anything of importance. I have the urge to shrug off responsibilities without thought to the consequences, though for the past couple of years, I’ve managed to NOT shirk any real duties or get myself into any major trouble. The other urges, which I’ve mentioned briefly before, seem to be less severe nowadays, mostly because of my medication I’m guessing, or maybe I’ve just learned to deal with them in my own way. I just have to learn not to let my mind wander, to stay focused, and remember that in a few days (on average), my moods, urges and thoughts will be back to some degree of normal.

Yes, being bi-polar sucks.

Now, back to trying not to climb the walls…
