My sadness compels me to hide it so that people won’t judge me. Seeking help would have blown my cover. Meanwhile, my mania convinces me that it’s making me fun so I’ll want to dive further into it. Seeking help would’ve ruined that good time. Chris Gethard Read Quote
My medications make me easier to deal with. They don’t interfere with my creativity or turn me into a zombie or dull my real personality.

They help. Chris Gethard Read Quote
