"Each time I have an episode, it's like I lose a part of myself. It's as if a switch is flicked and the light goes out inside my mind. Then I am left completely alone and in the dark. Each time I sink deeper and deeper into the darkness until it's all I know, all I crave. Being bipolar is like being on the ocean without a weather measurer. You never know when the storm is going to come, and you never know when the clearing is. You only know it's coming, when you're right in the middle of it. The winds begin to speed up, the waves begin to grow stronger and steeper, the darkness begins to overtake the skies-- and each time you're left alone. Alone in the middle of the storm, holding onto the sides of the boat, just waiting for the sun to rise again." -Alistair Monarch.
