One Human’s struggle through life and journey to Bipolar remission.
King of the neighborhood or so I felt anyway. I had just completed the march of dimes walk-a-thon going 8 out of 20 miles. Collecting for the pledges was fun and that’s where the adventure began. It did not take me long to realize that most people expected to pay the full 20 miles. You get where this is going I am sure. I had triggered what I believe to be my first hypo-manic episode. I had more money than I new what to do with. I gave it away to friends, bought toys many of which I gave away. Oh yes, and bought one dollar Baskin Robins quarts every day.
My scheme worked well until I ran out of donors. I thought to myself I still have receipts. Off I went to get more donors and that is just what I did. Was able to keep my new friends happy for about two weeks until I ran out of reciepts and tried to continue the con with even a piece of paper. Eventually I was caught and needless to say I was in big trouble.
Why do I think this was my first bipolar episode? Remembering how intense the feeling I had at the time. Feeling like I could do anything and get away with it all. The very poor judgment at the time. All symptoms of Bipolar. I am no doctor but, it sure seems like something was driving me.
Hope it helps,
Kelly
