A good friend of mine is moving back to winnipeg. Her boyfriend went mental last night and they broke up i'm pretty sure. She moved here with her boyfriend to start a new life for themselves. she is pregnant with their child, and they wanted to have a fresh start out here in the west.
I applaud their efforts and i really think that they would have made a great life for themselves.
Her boyfriend is apparently bi polar, and I really can relate to that. My father is bi polar and has been for my entire life. As far as I know, he has been in the hospital 3 times. two major episodes and 1 recent minor one.
The last stemming from issues with his medication and aging. As you grow older, the chemical composition of your brain changes, and thus your body will require different dosages of the particular medication that you are on.
The main difference between my father and my friends boyfriend is obviously age, and life experience.
There are two sides to being bi polar. the manic and the depression. My dad is a manic, meaning he gets loopy and can see, smell and hear memories with extreme clarity. I can only imagine what that kind of 'power' is like. I am extremely envious of this, not to the point of wanting to become bi polar clearly, but you could imagine what that could be like.
chris is different. he gets depressed. and along with depression comes the obvious issue of harming yourself and the ones you love. this is what happened last night. he went off into the night with the intention of harming himself or possibly others. I hope that he is ok, and is in the hospital or at the police station where he belongs, getting the professional help that he is entitled to. I really enjoyed hanging out with him. mostly because we are both from winnipeg and can relate to alot of situations and we do know some of the same people from there.
I wish amber and chris the best of luck in whatever they do, and I'll see them both sometime soon.
