Hi.
I've been wanting to write on what I'm going through but I can't seem to find the right words/time but I guess, I guess this time I'll try. It won't be easy but I will try.
Some of you might know that 2011 was a horrible year for me- due to some events that happened. I was miserable and I was stuck- I did not know what to do. With doas and patience, everything started to be better. I was feeling better and my life was (kind of) on track. Of course, a lot of unfortunate things happened within the years but nothing topped 2011- until.. 2017.
I'm not exactly the best when it comes to sharing my problems- it's not because I don't want to, most of the time I just don't know how to say the right words without getting (extra) emotional and to be honest, I'm afraid if I get disappointing responds.
So before I begin, I suggest you read up a bit on Bipolar Disorder, a mental illness.
In case you didn't know, my brother suffers from that particular illness. Everything's supposed to be okay if you don't skip your meds. However, if you don't, most likely you'll relapse. What is a relapse?
"In medicine, relapse or recidivism is a recurrence of a past condition. For example, multiple sclerosis and malaria often exhibit peaks of activity and sometimes long periods of dormancy, followed by relapse or recrudescenc" - Wikipedia
My brother was doing perfectly okay. But however, earlier this year, he relapsed. Thing is, he did not skip his meds. We're all trying to figure out what's the actual cause.
So ok, I don't know how to put it in words- for you guys to actually understand because no shit, you have no idea the actual events that my family has to go through and I don't blame anyone.
I'll continue soon, I promise but till then,
Have a good day.
