“A sense of electrical current was part of my own experience of being manic. The sensation that my mind was spinning and overheating would sometimes build to a sensation like an electrical short - a burst of light, a melting, or dissipating - and I'd get a metallic taste in my mouth, like when you lick a battery.” MindSometimesLightMy OwnTasteMouthsCurrentsSensationsSpinningMeltingElectricalBatteriesManicMetallic Author:Ellen Forney
“I wish I had never got manic depression. When I was in junior high, I didn't know what was the matter with me. It was as if I'd died or something. Now that I go to a clinic and get the right kind of medicine, I am not as depressed as I used to be.” IfsKnowsKindMatterUsedWishDiedMedicineUsed To BeJuniorsManicClinicJunior HighManic Depression Author:Daniel Johnston
