Here I am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams, knotted up in a reasonably attractive bundle of flesh. I remember what this flesh had gone through; I dream of what it may go through. I record here the actions of optical nerves, of taste buds, of sensory perception. And, I think: I am but one more drop in the great sea of matter, defined, with the ability to realize my existence.
Do you have manic depression/bipolar?

Many people think so. I, on the other hand, am in half-denial then full-denial then no-denial —I can never be quite sure. My psychiatrist hasn’t fully come out and said the words since we have only recently been conversing about this, so instead he refers to what I am experiencing as ‘bipolar symptoms’. So I suppose my answers is yes, but maybe no.
