the dramatics
21 August 2020
As someone who has bipolar I was excited to hear about this. however i was let down by this heavily dramatized attempt at a portrayal. Bipolar is more than just extreme happiness or crying in bed all day. Mania is mostly reckless/chaotic, not living in a musical. Depression is more of a wallow, after years and years of a repeated cycle you become adjusted to the feelings of hopelessness. Most days are just average, neither aspiring/devastating, just a feeling of indifference. Anne did a great job with what she was given, but the writers should have done more research instead of giving us the same, almost in a way glamorized depiction of bipolar
