Colby had never really struggled with his mental health, sure he have had body image issues, in the past, but who hasnt?
When Colby was 17 he had his first manic episode, he ran off into the woods, screaming about how the "devils were after him" and that they would "Steal and kill every first born boy". when police finally found him, he had tied himself to a tree, being convinced that the police were the devils.
It wasnt before the paramedics arrived, and gave him a shot, to make him sleep, that he stopped yelling.
Sam Golbach, Colbys best friend since they were 14, Roommate and Coworker, had tried to get Colby to a psychiatrist, but Colby refused. Saying stuff like " it was just a one time thing" and "I had dranken a little bit too much alchohol that night" so Sam eventually gave up.
It wasnt before 2 months later, when Colby wouldnt get up from bed, that Sam once again tried to get Colby to a psychiatrist.
"U cant just lay here, not doing anything Colby" Sam Said " we have videos to film"
Sam was worried about Colby, he hadnt moved from his spot, for 3 days. ( Unless it was forced by Sam, cuz he needed to at least drink water)Sam had done research on what could be wrong with Colby, and one Particulair word kept coming up. "Bipolar"
" Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities."
Scroll
"Bipolar I disorder. You've had at least one manic episode that may be preceded or followed by hypomanic or major depressive episodes. In some cases, mania may trigger a break from reality (psychosis)."
Sam wouldnt believe it, "u shouldnt trust Google anyways", he reminded himself as he shut his laptop.
Sure it reminded him a little bit of Colbys situation, but Colby couldnt be Bipolar right?
There hadnt been anything wrong with him, until 2 months ago.
