Well, I guess it isn't completely fixed with medication.
Too bad I have no results from meditation.
I have more energy than ever before,
My crash will be lower than the floor.

I wrote this since I am in a hypomanic episode from bipolar disorder. If anyone is interested in a full length piece on my experience with bipolar depression (bipolar 2), let me know. I'm very open about having it. Being honest about it took years, but I'm at that point.

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.

I just started reading your stories. I am trying to find out how it all started. So far I know you started therapy at 16 with a wrong therapist sadly. The best therapist is someone who experience what you are going through and has helped themselves in the process.
Mental health is as important as our physical health. I am an advocate for taking center stage and lifting the veil from mental health stigma! Excellent piece!
"My crash will be lower than the floor". That line hit me so hard! I thought this was the educational piece you were writing, sorry. Also, yes, if you're open to talk about it, I'd love to learn more about your experience with bipolar. It'll help create awareness as well!
Thanks for sharing this... Fantastic last line, as well!
I'm here for you. Hugs
Thank you for being so very courageous!
Rene, your honesty matters. Please share your story.
