My Bipolar Journey

A rush of emotions came over me tonight.  A flashback to everything that has happened in my life. I sit alone in the hospital cafeteria and look around at the people who suffer from some form of mental illness from generalized anxiety disorder to schizophrenia to bipolar disorder. And then I start to think about my family and friends, the problems that I have caused and the relationships that can never be salvaged. Will things ever get back to normal? Bipolar disorder has had a monumental impact on my life and it hurts to the core to reflect uopn it. Why me? Others sail through life although everyone has their cross to bear. My favorite doctor once said that going through a mental illness will make you stronger. Hopefully this is true and my life will get better.
