I hate when people glamorize mania. I can’t stand it. Mania has destroyed my life in so many horrible ways. When I was first diagnosed with bipolar type II, I also felt as depression was the worst and though about giving up many times but in the end never committed effectively. I though depression was more dangerous. But after my worst mania.. I can’t stand people glamorizing it. It’s not funny, it’s not like the movies, it will literally kill you. I hate when people who maybe have other types of mental illness think of mania as “fun”. If you say that in front of my face I will literally slap you. I got gang raped during my last episode and it consumed me, I lost a whole year of my life  trying to recover from that. Now I’m consistently on my meds and feeling much better, but I also recognize that I’m safer being depressed than manic. 

Sorry for the venting
