I have bipolar and it feels like my brain just tosses things at me. I get some really good ideas and I am quick with jokes because i don’t even think, my brain is an absurdity machine.

I feel like my emotions are pure in the moment. Yes I could recall an event that gave me an emotion but it’s nothing like experiencing it in the moment.
