Alright, so I'm a manic depressive. What do you want from me?

Manic depressive is a disease.

Depression is close to me, but suicide hasn't been.

The surest thing about me is that I will change my mind.

The imaginary world has always been the most fun place for me to be.

I'm lucky I had parents willing to be open and believe that an 11-year-old might know what she wanted to do. Or maybe they thought I'd find out that's what I didn't want to do.
