PROGRESS Haulted


My Bi-Polar disorder is my enemy today, not that it is ever my friend. The hardest part of having a large goal, such as this blog, is that i experience this fantastic high of emotions and motivation,  then CRASH! I hit a wall. My thoughts grow throughout my mind like viral bacteria. It overwhelms my train of thought until I can't breath and I am paralyzed mentally.  It doesn't just affect this one activity.  It affects work and home. I become numb.
