Has anyone tried to write about being bipolar? If so, how did you or how would you describe how it feels?

I am trying to write about my experiences with the disease and finding it quite difficult to describe. Help please...

hello
there is a book out called The Unquiet Mind, I can't remember who wrote it. I can't remember anything.... However, it is a by a woman who is a Ph.D. I do recall that she cycled on a more manic system, but it still made alot of sense to me. I am a bi polor II person and mostly just want to stay in bed and hide.

Thank you. I have read the book but I think I need to read it again so your reply was helpful to me and I appreciate it! I hope that you are having a good day and feeling better. I am bipolar I but my medication is helping me to feel good so I am very grateful for that. It can be tough to get the medication right...

Thanks again,

My husband has written a lot of biographical information about being bipolar, but it hasn't been published. He just likes getting his frustrations out of his system.

BYD

I think that is the reason I am doing it too-to get it out of my system...

I am happy to hear that I am not alone in this.

Thank you
