If you joke about having Manic Depressive Disorder (BI-Polar), (or any mental illness for that matter) you’re a piece of fucking shit. You don’t have the slightest fucking clue what it’s like to be tried on medicine after medicine trying to find the right one to stabilize you or going to Psychiatrist after psychiatrist having them tell you that they can’t help you. You will NEVER understand the struggle of going days, weeks or even months feeling like shit, feeling like you want to fucking die and suddenly snap out of it like nothing happened, only to go right back to where you were. You will NEVER understand how hard it is to open up to a psychiatrist, telling them every little detail about you. You will NEVER understand being constantly worried that if you open up to someone about it, they’ll leave you. You will NEVER understand that you can’t just “get over it”, that it cannot be cured.
Think. Before. You. Fucking. Speak.
