I’m an all or nothing person
No
I’m not a nothing person
I’m an all person
(jmk 2013)
I wrote this a few days ago during a few hours of inexplicable agitation and rage… I thought you might quite enjoy it (guess who’s in the clutches of a mixed episode).
I guess I need to go back to not simply enjoying the good times, because it only seems to make the subsequent crash worse. How fucked, that life is more bearable when lived in a sort of depressive twilight zone.
Fuck continuous cycling, fuck ultradian cycling, fuck mixed episodes, fuck psychosis and fuck bi-fucking-polar fucking affective fucking disorder. Fuck the biomarkers and the trauma and whatever other causes the researchers don’t quite find. Fuck science for knowing so fucking little about the brain. Fuck the money I don’t have, but need to spend on the treatment that doesn’t appear to be working. Fuck the fucking meds and their fucking side effects. Fuck vomiting, diarrhoea Fuck people’s fuckwitted beliefs and attitudes towards people with bipolar. Fuck the people with cyclothymia who think they can fucking preach to the rest of us about the fucking benefits of bipolar. Fuck the stupid amount of time it takes to diagnose the fucking disorder and fuck the prognosis for getting so much worse when it hasn’t been treated. Fuck all of the damage I’ve ever caused and sustained along the way. Fuck the social awkwardness, the anxiety and everything that comes with them. Fuck restless leg syndrome, fuck migraines and fuck the fucking word co-morbid. Fuck anyone who’s ever rolled their eyes at suicide. Fuck this rage that arrives out of nowhere, fuck the amount of work that’s needed to fail to control emotions, fuck the fact that a good mood is dangerous. Fuck the people who say it’s manageable and you definitely will get stable. Fuck celebrities for the fuckall they do apart from making the same fucking statement about their bipolar that everyone else does, and then leaping aboard the attention seeking awareness train instead of ever attempting to do something about a fucking cure. Fuck all the academics in their grant-lined ivory fucking towers and the meaningless fucking papers they write. Fuck everyone who profits far more than they can ever spend, from sickness and fuck society for encouraging it. Fuck the brain damage, fuck the memory problems and fuck the fact that medical professionals usually minimise it when they tell you about it. Fuck bipolar for making everything so fucking difficult.
Fuck. My. Life.
OK, what did I forget to fuck?
The melancholic is sad, afraid; he isolates himself and cries, he thinks… about death… he exaggerates his evils and his faults… and his illness; he thinks himself a terrible sinner… he feels desperate. (Posidonius 135-51 BC)
I must have my friend Sara “Fuck the Fucking Fuckers” J. read this one…
she has “bipolar NOS/not otherwise specified” which to me seems like it would be much more accurately classified as “bipolar no one knows the fuck about” or bipolar NOKTFA!

I like Sarah already, she sounds like a good human being. There isn’t a bipolar NOS in the DSM 5 btw, so either she’s been cured magically, or her shrink is going to have to hop off the fence and assign her a more definite diagnosis. Not that it’ll change life much.

Not to “like” your current state of ass-suckery but…I breathed a sigh of relief after reading this. That title scared me. I mean, swearing is all I have left to vent my rage! My vocabulary is extensive yet it doesn’t do fuck all when I need to RANT. While “bipolar is so byzantine, it perpetually vexes me” sound prettier…”This fucking sucks” seems more concise when in the depressive angry cycle.
Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck bipolar and all of its components.
And thank for giving the tragic hateball free press!

I’m totally going to make a meme of bipolar is so byzantine, it perpetually vexes me, it’s beautiful. Was trying to think of more of your catchphrases and portmanteau words to make into quotes and memes (I do that sort of thing instead of murdering someone during mixed episodes), but my brain wasnt working. As for the h8 ball, curse it. Curse it hard.

She got me on one to see if it’ll stabilise my moods, she said I should try it for 6mnths or so, and that I’m a low risk patient as far as hrt issues go. Only thing that concerns me is osteoporosis, and 6mnths ain’t gonna fuck that up much. If it makes no difference to mood stability, I’m going to chuck it out.

Previously I would just go to the bar. Sometimes this worked. Sometimes the anger would reappear halfway through my drinking and I literally became someone else. A person you wouldn’t want to know. I was mean. I could back it up then I was over 200 pounds. It was never pretty. It has to be better than having it all trapped inside. It’s killing me.
