The Real Me

This is the real me. Don't judge me.

            I know that I come off as a quiet, shy, push-over girl who won’t stand up for herself, but there’s a side that you don’t ever see. Every day, I battle the urge to scream and fight someone that I found out had betrayed me. I defeat it and keep it down, however. There urge is never dead, though. It is just injured. It will soon come back up and fight me again. This is why I take medication. It helps me keep it calm and let me yell only when necessary. My medicine is my weapon of choice when I fight it. My thoughts are its weapon against me. Medicine is stronger than thoughts, though. It numbs the bad thoughts and stops me from hurting myself or hurting someone else. You may not have known this about me, but it’s something I deal with every day. This is my every day battle with bipolar disorder.

I'm sorry that you hurt. I feel bad for you. You know what pain is wither you've seen it or felt it personally.
