I'm tired. I'm fed up. I say the wrong thing. I do the wrong thing. I live the wrong way. I realize 'normal' people make mistakes, but I do the wrong thing all the time. Just ask my children or my friends or my coworkers or the people I meet online. Life will be sailing along and suddenly I'll rock the boat. I'll step over the line. And ruin everything.
I need asylum. I need a place to go where I am allowed and expected to be dysfunctional, a place where I am safe and not expected to interact with others in any meaningful way...except to take pills. It would be nice if there were azaleas and oak trees but right now I'd be content with a cardboard box.
I'm not depressed. I'm not manic. I'm not suicidal. But I am tired. I feel that if I could just stand still, not say anything, not write anything, not think or feel anything, then maybe I would do no harm. No additional harm. I have been so inappropriate all my life that I embarrass myself. I am appalled at some of the things I have said and done. Some of it is documented online, or in databases, or people's memories. It's out there. And the darn thing is, I don't feel inappropriate when I'm doing it...just when I'm looking back on it.
Why can't I just be nice and normal? Why did I have to be bipolar? Or why couldn't I be so mentally ill that I don't know what I'm doing...even later.
I'm sorry, there's not much hope or encouragement in this post. I'm afraid of what my next gaffe is going to be.
I am not an expert on bipolar disorder... I just live with it. This is my blog of hope and encouragement.
