Hi, just call me graham...it's my middle name. I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for almost four years and have had probably as rough a time as any. Legal issues due to mania, almost died two times in a car wreck and an attempted suicide. I've lost a lot of friends and I'm really not bad at all now that I'm on the correct meds. People just don't get it who don't have it. I need something extracurricular in the winter months after work so I looked and here I found.
I was a very talented (and still am at softball) athlete. I was blessed with a very strong throwing arm and played college baseball as a pitcher. I was a potential pro but everything blew up when I got arrested for criminal speeding and I had alcohol on my breath. Not much, but enough to make people think I was a bad character. The worst came when I got in my car wreck, had a bad head injury, and attempted suicide with a razor blade soon after. Then I got arrested for Illegal possession of a firearm and went to jail. I had no idea I couldn't have a firearm but I got committed to a psych ward after attempting suicide. I did eleven months in Federal Prison and now I'm three weeks out. It's been very helacious and I'm just wanting smoothness for, well, forever.
Is there anyone else from Maine on here??? Feel free to ask anything as well...I'm not hiding anything as you can see.

paz, i like you. i was a little unsure as to what i was going to get with a video from a bipolar person and you are alright. i saw your video on suicide and it touched me being someone who barely survived it and when you said "i'm fucked" meaning you have people who love you who dont want to see you gone, maybe free of pain, but gone...you really said what i feel quite often. it is sad, but i feel things for me can only get better...im only 25 so im still optimistic

I just watched you video log, the last entry, on youtube. Ive been there so stay strong. If you're not psychotic or delusional you should be alright.

I do suffer from psychosis, but not during that time. Thanks for watching my channel. |
