This poem, The Bipolar Mind, presented with six AABB-rhymed quatrains, presents the person and the condition with as much clarity as possible. Being son of and brother to bipolar people I have the sense of your struggle.

I know a few people that have/had the condition, but seem to handle, I write a lot, but I wouldn't say I have OCD I can. writing is incredibly therapeutic, my wife has agoraphobia, but her strength of mind helps her overcome it, beautifully written, thanks for sharing Pam, blessings Roy

    Hi, Roy. I overcome it every day. But some people have it worse than I do. A lot of people think it?s a mental disease. It?s just inside your head, but that?s not true.

    It is a physical disease that is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain

    Thank you for your wonderful comments and a great review

Pam thanks so much for sharing this with us. It's written so well I can feel your journey and try to understand the condition. It's important for everyone of us to have a better understanding of mental health so that we can be more compassionate and helpful. Best wishes to you I truly hope you don't crash hard. Take care

I am sorry to hear that you suffer with depression occasional Pam and it is hard to help someone with this as only the sufferer can drag themselves out of this situation. I enjoyed your well rhymed and metered post and many will identify with your words, love Dolly x

Oh wow! A great piece of writing, very descriptive and emotional, and having read it a second time after reading the Author's Notes, it had much more impact on me. It is open and honest and revealing. Well done.
Please don't burn yourself out! Take a break! Me and my scribbles will still be here waiting for you!
