Hello Everyone! I am Bipolar II and have spent the majority of my life un-medicated, which has been my own personal hell. A few months ago I started therapy and 5 weeks ago I began a medication that has completely changed my life. I have done a...

In love with my manic. I've gone manic and my people are worried. But for me this is life and I am unsullied. There's no weed in sight. And it's an endless flight. I can't sleep, i can't eat, i can't calm down my ne...
