It got to be quite difficult being bipolar. The chemical imbalance in your brain can just mess you up on just day by day decisions. I wonder f dr. will find a cure for people that have a severe case of bipolar.
I have a friend who is bipolar, she can be smiling and having fun one minute, then all of a sudden she'll start crying. She changes so quickly, sometimes it's kind of scary. I really think she needs to get some kind of help.
