Last year I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, but I've known I was different my whole life. Even with treatment, I am still different. Sometimes, I just flip.
I think I'm getting better, but I'm in bed right now. I haven't left the bed all weekend except to pee and walk the dogs. I had food delivered.
I hide my depression from the world. Everyone thinks I'm just hard to pin down because I am super busy. They think I'm highly successful. My friend's don't know anything is wrong.
My friends do know about the flips. Anyone who drinks with me has seen me flip. The man behind the curtain flips a light switch and I lose all self control. I've been known to strip, steal, have sex with strangers, refuse to leave bars, try to buy drugs from strangers, play in the toilet, insult people to their faces, and act out in other ways so bad I can't write about them yet.
There are naked pictures of me on the internet, hooking up with both guys and girls. I've been arrested several times for partying related incidents, but I usually manage to worm my way out of trouble. I am manipulative and sociopathic, and I've been blessed with good looks, so I get away with more than I should.
I am 31 years old.
Two years ago, I had a nervous break down. I still didn't see a doctor for a year, and I had to use cocaine or adderall just to leave the house. Now I'm medicated and I'm not supposed to drink or do drugs, but I still do.
Since I'm practically a shut-in, I surf the internet a lot, and I read a lot of blogs. My therapist suggested that I start a blog about my struggles, so here I am. This blog is my confessional- there are things I can't even tell my therapist.
It will be nice to have an outlet for my shame. Any community support would just be a bonus.
Things are quiet. I'll probably stay in bed tomorrow too. Dysthymia isn't interesting, but my flips from the past should give me plenty of material.

About Me
I suffer from bi-polar disorder. I was only diagnosed recently, but I've known I was different my whole life. Even with treatment, I am still different. Sometimes, I just flip.
I think I'm getting better, but I'm in bed right now. I haven't left the bed all week except to pee and walk the dogs. I had food delivered.I hide my depression from the world. Everyone thinks I'm just hard to pin down because I am super busy. They think I'm highly successful. My friend's don't know anything is wrong.
My friends do know about the flips. Anyone who drinks with me has seen me flip. The man behind the curtain flips a light switch and I lose all self control. Usually I become a fabulous and charming party girl, but I've been known to strip, steal, have sex with strangers, refuse to leave bars, try break into bars, try to buy drugs from strangers, play in the toilet, insult people to their faces, spill the deepest secrets of myself and my loved ones, and act out in other ways so bad I can't write about them yet. There are naked pictures of me on the internet, hooking up with both guys and girls.

I am 31 years old.
Two years ago, I had a nervous break down and sunk into a deep depression. I still didn't see a doctor for over a year, and I had to use cocaine or adderall just to leave the house.
Now I'm medicated and I'm not supposed to drink or do drugs, but I still do.

Wow. I'm impressed with your honesty. That is quite a story and it's very brave of you to put yourself out there like that. I hope everything gets better for you. I've been struggling with depression, social phobia and alcoholism myself, so I guess I can kinda relate to you. I hope things look up for you. Happiness is all in your head....you gotta make it happen.
Good luck!
