    About this ebook

    Travis shares the ups and downs of being Bi-Polar. He balances Bi-Polar with having Schizophrenia to live one of the most enjoyable lives a person with mental illness can lead. Travis shares what it is like to be depressed and low for days then all of a sudden have the switch flipped to being manic for days. The ups and downs are emotionally exhausting and he relies heavily on medication to live happily and freely in life. Travis wishes he could return to the high school days before his brain was stolen from him and live the life he had always dreamed about but he is coming to terms with his life as a person with mental illness. Travis thinks this is the life God intended for him to live so he is embracing his role in God's kingdom as a person with mental illness. Travis thinks about how he can share his life and experiences to help others understand devastating mental illnesses like Bi-Polar and Schizophrenia. Travis can go days without sleeping and then crash for three or four days at a time. His brain is never stable and is constantly fluctuating up and down. Travis takes mediation to mellow out the psychotic symptoms and mood swings that he deals with from being schizophrenic and bi-polar. Travis shares what it is like to live with serious mental illnesses while being a productive member of society in this book.

      I Am So Bi-Polar

      There are always so many ups and downs. I never really know what to expect each day anymore. I have had so many mental health diagnosis throughout my entire life I feel like everything they throw at me now is pretty much just a guessing game.

      After-all, there really is not a good way to test or tell if someone has a mental illness. We just must gage the symptoms that they are having and try to come up with the best educated decision to our knowledge that we can come up with.

      I have been diagnosed with everything from Asperger’s Syndrome to Schizophrenia. Recently my Psychiatrist has been playing around with the idea that I am also bi-polar along with my schizophrenia. This is very interesting to me because along with hearing voices, seeing things that other people do not see, and having such strange beliefs that no one else can confirm are true, I also have extreme mood imbalances. I can be happy as a bird for a few days at a time and then suddenly I bottom out and hit the dumps.

      I have some very high manic episodes where I can go for days without sleeping and then when the bottom falls out I feel like a freight train ran over me and I must spend a couple of days sleeping about fifteen hours per day just to catch up on my sleep.

      It is hard for me to string together more than three or four consecutive days of feeling happy or feeling sad. I am glad I do not stay down in the dumps of feeling sad for very long though because no one wants to spend their entire life being sad.

      However, with that said, even the days that I am high are not happy days. Because when you are on a serious high it is like riding a wave or riding this delusional feeling that you are better and everything is going to be okay. Even though deep down I know that everything is not going to be okay because my world is going to come crashing down in just a few short days the high I get from being manic is like a drug. I crave
