Depression Sucks!

Dear Diary....Depression Sucks,

I have it marked in the "About Me" section that I am Bipolar. I was diagnosed Manic Depressive when I was 15, and then at a later date it turned too Bipolar Type 2.

What is Bipolar 2 Disorder? It is a form of mental illness, it is similar to Bipolar 1 except with moods cycling between high and low over time. Most of the time the "up" moods never reach full blown mania (I have had that twice in my life). The less intense elevated moods in bipolar 2 are called hypomanic episodes. Most people that have Bipolar 2 suffer more from depression, which is where the term mani depression comes from. Depressive episodes can last weeks, months and (rarely) years.

I have never let being bipolar define me but I am not going to lie it has affected a lot in my life. Especially when I am in the "manic" state. Again was only twice in my life but when it happened everything durring that period of time changed!

Currently I am going through a "low" I have been depressed and honestly I don't know why. It's hard to try to explain this to someone who has no clue what it's like to be depressed and not know why. I hate when people go "what's wrong" and you say "I don't know" then they say "what do you mean you don't know" its because I honestly do not know!!!! Many people suffer from some type of mental illness, some worse than others. If you know someone that has a mental illness please be patient with them and try to be understanding. We all deserve love and understanding from each other!
