n you drive faster than a speeding bullet, think you can leap tall buildings in a single bound and speak faster than most auctioneers
n you talk to god and he talks back to you
n waking up at supper time is getting up early
n there are more pills in your head than there are in most pharmacies
n going to the hospital means a ride in a police car
n you are unhappy with your mood but know it is okay because a new one will appear any minute
n you have had more jobs than you have birthdays
n going to appointments is your full time job
n you have the psychiatrist, therapist and crisis line on speed dial
n 20 minutes is a good nights sleep
n you ask does this medication make me look fat?
n you are never lonely because you have the voices in your head to keep you company
n you use credit cards to make payments on your other credit cards
n you take frequent trips to club med...icated
n you go out 18 nights in a row then don't leave the house for a month
n you make 8 quick right turns on the way home to make sure no one is following you
n you see dead people but you don't have your own talk show or psychic hotline
n you know you are the queen of England but people don't bow to you or call you your majesty
n your medicine makes you want to scarf down sugar right out of the bag
n when people greet you they don't say hello, they say how are you feeling? or are you taking your medication?
n people like hanging out with you because it makes them look normal by comparison
n you make the energizer bunny look lethargic or make a turtle look zippy
n YOU ARE STRONG, RESILIENT, BRAVE, COURAGEOUS AND FACE AND CONQUER DAILY BATTLES MOST PEOPLE COULD NOT EVEN IMAGINE!
