I woke up a few days ago just hating my life.  Prior to a few days ago, I had been content for months.  Life wasn't perfect, but it was pretty damn good and I could work to fix the little issues over time.

Now I don't know who that Pollyanna was, but it certainly wasn't me!  I wish I could change almost every aspect in my life.

I get that Bipolar is potentially the culprit of this massive change in perspective, but how do I determine which perspective is accurate?  Which is the "sick" me and which is the realistic me?
