BPD... what is that? It is Bipolar Disorder. Also known as Manic Depression. It is a mental disorder or illness that causes one's emotions to go on extreme highs or lows. Imagine your normal range of ups and downs, that's regular probably. You have good times and bad, some days you feel bad and some you feel good. Manic Depression causes periods of severe ups and downs which can last months. Many people who have BPD are diagnosed too late, because they killed themselves before they ever knew that they had it. It is treatable, though. You can be put on medication for it. There are all kinds of medications. Bipolar people account for most suicides. The stats are very sad, if you look at them. Here I intend on giving you info on an illness that has managed to find it's way into every aspect of my life.
