Transcript

being bipolar is a trip. Being bipolar is so weird because I just spent the last two hours crying and then now I'm just like, everything's fine, I need a sweet treat. I need a sweet treat and everything's fine. I'm fine, everything's great and I genuinely feel that way. Like the dopamine pumping through my head right now is fucking insane. I'm like, oh, everything is good and everything's dandy and everything's going to be all motherfucking right. Stand up, soldier. Stand the fuck up.
