When Extinction Occurred
RSS
My name is Sam. I'm 18 years old and I live with bipolar disorder. Essentially, I post about my life and the things that occur, as a coping mechanism for myself. But I also post cute pictures of my hedgehog, Delia. I figure people deserve it after listening to my shit.

“Everyone’s a little bit bipolar”

No! No, they’re not! Not everyone has a ‘little bit’ of a mental illness that can literally make them unable to function like a normal person in a debilitating fucking state of mind.

Everyone has emotions, yes. But not everyone has mania. Not everyone has deep depression. Not everyone has the mixed fucking episodes.

So just stop. Stop pretending you understand. Because you don’t.

This is like saying, “Well, everyone gets sick sometimes,” to a person who has cancer.
