Maybe I’m bipolar. That crosses my mind often…

i see this waaaay too often in girls these days.  what is going on?  i spent two years dealing with a bipolar gf.  she never believed in therapy or meds.  she self-medicated with cocaine, pot and alcohol.  she never really seemed to want to actually get at the root of the problem (ie: behavior modification).  just like with a lot of things, changing something about yourself, something that can be so entrenched in your everyday behavior and thought patterns, is never, ever easy.  i know that.  but as somebody who has actually been down that path of self-transformation and succeeded (mostly), i know that it can be different.  it’s just too bad when i think of how many beautiful people out there truly have the potential to change but just cannot see it or find it in themselves.
