"Harrison" I say only to be ignored and slung over his shoulder with a sharp slap on the bum.

"I'm not giving in to you. Lets go eat breakfast." He said with a slight chuckle. This made me angry and I decided to give him the silent treatment and patiently wait until i get my revenge.

When we got to the dining table he put me down and pulled out a chair for me.

"Thanks" I grumbled grabbing orange juice from across the table. As if on cue Alexa chimed in and reminded me to take my medication. I pulled out my chair and went over to my medicine cupboard. I walked back over to Harrison with 3 pill leafs in my hand.

"This is Amisulpride. This is ones for bipolar disorder type 1." I say taking the pill and putting it in my mouth and drinking juice to wash it down.

"This ones for paroxetine. This is for PTSD and anxiety." I say doing the same thing.

"And this is the contraceptive pill." I say taking the last one.

"Fuck immy... Im sorry for pushing it." Harrison says.

"Well at least now you know." I say going back to eating my pancakes.

"PTSD? From what?" He asks me seeming interested in my life.

"2 people I don't wanna get into right now." I say feeling my throat get tighter.

"When was you diagnosed?" Harrison asks reaching out for my hand.

"Bipolar when I was 10. PTSD and anxiety when I was 13 too." I say watching him kiss my hand.

"Im really sorry.It must've been hard growing up with that." Harrison says.

"You don't have to be, its not your fault." I say giving him a soft smile.

"So with the bipolar, what happens? Do you just have mood swings? I want to be able to help." Harrison asks.

My heart felt fuzzy. Nobody really asked about bipolar, they just assumed the bad.

"So usually I have manic episodes if I'm really angry, I'll lose my shit quite quickly otherwise I just feel emotions a lot more and can have a tendency to cry and get overly happy and sad but that's about it. I wouldn't say my mood swings are caused by the bipolar I'd say the contraceptive pill. But every 6 weeks I'll see my psychiatrist, Doctor O'Leary. But because my mums not been well I'll see him more often. His assistant actually rang me yesterday and asked if they could schedule me in for a session his weekend." I say waffling on to Harrison.

"Slow down immy. Whats an episode? You should go see him if he thinks your mum not being well will affect you darl" Harrison says looking up from his food to look at me.

"An episode is like an extreme mood swing. I'll go from 0 to 100 in seconds. I only have episodes when I've been triggered though." I say shoving more food into my mouth.

"So what triggers you? and what exactly happens during an episode?"

"It doesn't even need to be one big thing, it could be a build up of small things and then I'll explode at one point. And I don't know what i do during an episode, I black out" I say being honest with him.

"I get it. I'll lookafter you. When you get like that, ring me or come see me or text me whatever. I'm always here for you." He says finishing his food and getting up and kissing my forehead.

"Thankyou. I really appreciate it." I say getting up and cleaning up.

"Anytime love. I'm gonna shower and get ready for shopping. Someone's dropping off clothes." Harrison says padding off.

"Oh are you coming with Chloe and I?" I ask

"Yeah so is Aaron."

Great... now time to get ready.
