Welcome to Fandom Friday, where I talk about something or someone that I like and why you should too. This week I will be writing about being Manic Depressive.
Now I know that no one actually has the choice to be Manic, but you can always support those of us that are. By support, I do not mean give us money (though I won’t turn it down (haha)). What I mean by support is read our blogs (I’ve noticed a lot of us have them), listen to us, maybe even just be a friend.
Only 2.5% of the US population has some kind of bipolar disorder and 0.1-0.7% of said population is Manic Depressive. It’s not like we bump into each other on the daily basis, in fact it’s usually rare. So find yourself lucky that you found one and you can read all about some of the crazy shit that goes on (and this is only a slim portion for now).
Yes, it seems weird to be writing about why someone would enjoy having such a crazy illness. The thing about it is, it DOES suck, it does. However, if you learn to love the ride, it also makes life fun. The lows are hard but those highs are fantastic. If you don’t know what Manic Depressive Disorder is, read my second post ever, “What Is This Blog?” It gives you a brief overview of the disorder and it will let you know what it’s all about and what I’m all about.
The reason I am writing about this on Fandom Friday is because I want my readers to enjoy the fact they come to read a blog about nothing and everything all in one. It’s different day in and day out. It changes and you never know what to expect. I range from inspirational writings to rants, then back to inspiration to how I think celebrities suck, then I have Manic Mondays which is a load of everything under the sun, Fandom Fridays where you may find your new favorite thing/person/location (who knows), and some days I even tell you how to live your life to a healthier level and get in touch with your inner child.
There are days (as with “normal” people) that life just bites me in the ass and sucks, but there are so many days/weeks/months that I have highs that don’t go away and life is AWESOME (and those times last longer than those of “normal” people).
All I’m saying is: just give us crazies a chance. We are actually a big ball of fun and you never know what to expect.
