He is a BIG ahole for giving me this life-long affliction of bipolar. I can’t keep a job worth a sh. I switch jobs every 3-6 months. I never have consistent health insurance. I have an ACA plan but barely any doctors take it so I have to self-pay for decent service. I break my family’s hearts over and over again bc things get better and we have hope for my life, then it all comes crashing down again. I try SO HARD to do well at my job/s and to keep my head above water for it only to come back and knock me down again.

The thing about this disorder that’s not talked about in terms of bipolar vs major depression is that bc of the extreme highs and lows, our family really does believe things are looking up. But then it all comes crashing down to a dramatic end. The never-ending cycle of getting our hopes up only to have them destroyed is so hard to for them to watch AND for us to experience.
