I want to die. I don't know why. I don't understand why I think or feel so, but I am always made to think so. What makes me want to die? That's what I want to know.
I am diagnosed with bipolar disorder. My doctor told me so. When he told me so, I felt relieved, strangely to say. That felt like my conditions set in the place to be. The strange settlement was brought about, partly because the way he spoke to me was delivered very directly and decisively. In addition to giving me a diagnose, he also gave me an order. He called it "Structuralization of Lifestyle". That consists of three principles: wake up by 9 AM, take a walk under the sun for 30 minutes at least, and if you want to take a nap, it must be as short as half an hour and must be finished by 3 PM at the latest. Simple as that.
I, however, could not obey his orders. In fact, those three principles were really hard for me to do. First of all, I can not wake up early in the morning because I cannnot go to sleep early in the evening. I usually go to bed as late as 4 or 5 AM and wake up as late as 2 or 3 PM. I told my doctor about the conditions, and he gave me sleeping pills. Those pills are supposed to be taken an hour before going to bed. Also, he gave me additional pills for biopolar disorder, so I now take three different pills every night. What's worse is that I always forget to take those pills before going to bed. The worst thing is that ,my comittiment to treatment was too bad and that makes me hesitate to go to see the doctor and tell him the truth, the true conditions, the true feelings.
What I have to do is to keep my word with the doctor. He is very reliable, undoubtedly. I want to make a good relationship with him. I want to keep it well just because my disease is chronic, my conditions have advanced, and it will last for a very long time, maybe a lifetime. It's like a wedlock; wherever you go, I will go; for better or for worse.
