Poem: Masks

The masks I wear are several.
“I’m okay”, is one,
When I don’t want to say
What is hurting me that particular day.

The “hiding” mask is my most favorite,
With that mask I can simply stay in my pen,
And not have to reveal what is within.

The “false brave” one is my common,
For with a pill I can pretend,
To not be anxious,
cause of course, that’s such a sin.

I’m sure there are others that I don
Here and there,
Only if could learn to handle life,
Maybe I could be mask-less I swear.

Anyone else not know themselves since their #Bipolar diagnosis?

I am newly #Bipolar2 . I’m finding myself questioning my #goodmood on a daily basis. Is it real? Or is it #Hypomania ? How long will it last? Do I savor it or #medicate it? What’s the next #mood gonna be? I used to be so in tune with my moods back when I only had #Depression . Now? I just don’t know. #BipolarDisorder #MentalHealth #hypomanic #moodswings #EmotionalRollercoaster #HighsAndLows
