Me, myself, I, The-Voices-In-My-Head (JK), bipolarity, Mayo-clinic and here are some quotes (with credit to who said them beneath each): “If I can't feel, if I can't move, if I can't think, and I can't care, then what conceivable point is there in living?” ― Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness “When you are mad, mad like this, you don't know it. Reality is what you see. When what you see shifts, departing from anyone else's reality, it's still reality to you.” ― Marya Hornbacher, Madness: A Bipolar Life “Except you cannot outrun insanity, anymore than you can outrun your own shadow.” ― Alyssa Reyans, Letters from a Bipolar Mother “What if talking about your feelings doesn't fix anything? What if what you really need is to make the feelings go away?” ― Amy Reed, Crazy “I feel like I'm a snow globe and someone shook me up and now every little piece of me is falling back randomly and nothing is ending up where it used to be.” ― Amy Reed, Crazy “I feel sorry for every Therapist, Psychologist, and Psychiatrist I've ever met. I know I've put thoughts in their mind they will never forget.” ― Stanley Victor Paskavich “Maybe there's a galaxy with a planet that's just a little more tilted, with a sun that shines just a little bit darker, and that's where I'm supposed to be, where it somehow makes sense to feel this broken.” ― Amy Reed, Crazy “Which of my feelings are real? Which of the me's is me? The wild, impulsive, chaotic, energetic, and crazy one? Or the shy, withdrawn, desperate, suicidal, doomed, and tired one? Probably a bit of both, hopefully much that is neither.” ― Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
