Bipolar Is At Work

I don’t know how it all got started, I wish I could roll back the reel of life and be notified by the turn of event that was about to happen, but life does not promise that to me, it is about surprises, bad or good, tackling the situation, and moving on.

Research indicated early signs as how subtly sinister it can be when a loved one is trending toward mania and this is not the manic stage yet or even the hypomanic. They will be seen as simply talking faster and louder, blurting out statements that are a little too open and honest and perhaps hurtful, and being more self-centered than usual.

During the 6 months that she was with us nothing of the above was seen or noted. Could it be that we were too happy to notice the tiny cracks on the eggshells? Everything was so normal; everyday was a new day with new beginning and new plans. There was no bad stuff during these times to drive any of us nuts or to cause a wedge between us. I have no idea what could be cooking in her innocent brain, we had so much to look forward to the future and yet to be shaken by the April 13, 2012 incident.

Bipolar is at work and I am working hard to understand this.
