The Bipolar Experience of the Written Word
The Pain of Bipolar Disorder
No, you can't just pull yourself out of it-
seek help
Paper bound in dark dusty jacket
Pungent smell of mold spots
Stagnant news; reruns of all that has gone before
Uninterested
Unaware
Dark, numbing, sour
Slowly read - missed a line - concentrate
Blurry grey letters jumble randomly
An invalid opinion, a dull tale
Attention drifts
Shelved long before the last page,
The life story ends here

The Infinite Pleasure of Bipolar Disorder
Joy is great, but be aware of too much joy-
Seek help
Paper bound in brightly coloured sleeve
Crisp clean new, sharp
Amazing news; the world shines with possibility
Revelation
Awoken
Glowing, stimulating, sweet
Quickly read – absorbed - assimilated
Sharp black letters flow in ordered lines
An insightful lecture, a novel point of view
Attention gripped
Shelved only after the last drop of ink
The life story begins here
THANK YOU!
Thanks to all the friends, family, colleagues and other care-givers that support us in understanding our inconsistent view of the world.
WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT...
