when i was in high school i wrote a really bad poem about being depressed and getting diagnosed with bipolar ½
and it was like “what could possibly be more embarrassing than having a disease that i will never be free from (i will die from it)
but it is much better than the poem i published at the time which was about how i was a bad student and i didn’t want to be because i hated school, and it was about how school was important and good and i hated it, and it was bad
the first draft i published was about how my brain is a big ball of confusion and i am a piece of crap and i am sick of my problems and i’m tired and my parents are awful, and so on
people should read that one too
I’ve heard of bipolar 1 and bipolar 2, but what’s bipolar ½?
It means you have bipolar 1 (also called manic depression) and bipolar 2 (called hypomania, also known as “depression disorder”)
There’s also bipolar 3 which is not very widely discussed in the literature, but there is apparently a connection between bipolar 3 and hypomania/mania in bipolar 1 or 2
It seems like bipolar 2 can be thought of as the “dysfunctional bipolar 1”, so that bipolar 3 can be thought of as the “dysfunctional bipolar 2” and bipolar 1 as the “normal bipolar 1”?
