Dɛn bin admit mi na wan saykayatrik ɔspitul insay 2003 we a bigin fɔ tink bɔt fɔ kil misɛf, si tin dɛn we nɔto rial, ɛn a bin gɛt siriɔs pwɛl at. Na de di dɔktɔ dɛn bin kam fɔ no se a gɛt di sik we dɛn kɔl bipolar disorder . I nɔ bin sɔprayz we yu tink bɔt di difrɛn difrɛn sayn dɛn we a bin gɛt da tɛm de. Bɔt i bin rili sɔprayz mi. Bikɔs bifo a waka na di domɔt na di ɔspitul in Imejɛnsi Tritmɛnt Yunit (ETU), if ɛnibɔdi bin aks mi, a fɔ dɔn se, "A fayn." A nɔ bin no wetin na mental sik.
Aw mi layf bin tan lɛk bifo dɛn no se a gɛt dis sik?
A bin gro ɔp na wan famili we gɛt midul klas. Mi papa na bin trak drayva ɛn mi mama na bin uman we de wok na os. Wi nɔ bin rili jɛntri, bɔt wi bin gɛt layf we nɔ de chenj. Wi bin gɛt wi yon os na di eria dɛn we de nia di siti, tu motoka dɛn, ɛn wɛlbɔdi inshɔrans. Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wi na bin rili avrej famili. Di aidia na wi os na se man fɔ jɔs dil wit ɛni prɔblɛm we kam in we, ɛn if i jɔs rɔb smɔl dɔti pan insɛf, ɔltin go fayn.
Sɔntɛm a de ɛgzajarayt smɔl, bɔt mi famili bin rili de op fɔ mi. Dɛn bin tich mi fɔ bi pɔsin we pɔsin kin abop pan ɔltɛm, fɔ mek a nɔ gɛt wanwɔd, ɛn fɔ rɛspɛkt mi . Imajin aw i nɔ kin izi fɔ pɔsin we gɛt pwɛl at ɔ we gɛt mania fɔ kɔntinyu fɔ gɛt dɛn kwaliti dɛn ya.
We a nɔ bin ebul fɔ du wetin mi mama ɛn papa bin de op fɔ, dɛn bin de pɔnish mi. As mi maynd bin de wɔs, di pɔnishmɛnt dɛn we dɛn bin de gɛt bin de mɔna mi. Di mɔ we dɛn bin de pɔnish mi, na di mɔ a bin de fa frɔm ɔda pipul dɛn. Infakt, bikɔs no tritmɛnt nɔ bin de fɔ dis maynd sik na mi maynd, mi sik bin de wɔs de go bifo.
Da tɛm de, a bin de tink bɔt fɔ kil misɛf ɛvride . A nɔ bin ɛva tink se i nɔ kɔmɔn, bikɔs nɔbɔdi nɔ bin de tɔk bɔt am. A bin tink se ɔlman bin de tink di sem we. Di de we a bin dɔn disayd fɔ tek mi yon layf, i bin tan lɛk se i nɔmal fɔ mi. Bɔt laki laki, sɔmbɔdi we notis di chenj na mi biev aks mi dairekt wan se, "Yu de tink fɔ tek yu yon layf?"
A nɔ bin gɛt ɛni rizin fɔ lay, so a se "yes." Da tɛm de, i se wi nid fɔ go na di ɔspitul wantɛm wantɛm. A bin sɔprayz. A luk am ɛn se:
"Wetin mek? A nɔ sik. Sik pipul dɛn kin go ɔspitul."
We a kam fɔ no se a gɛt bipolar...
A mɛmba, a gɛt bipolar disorder.Di fɔs kwɛstyɔn we a aks di saykayatrist na di ɔspitul we dɛn tɛl mi se a gɛt am na, "Aw yu no, dɔktɔ?" A aks am. I se a gɛt di klas simptom dɛm fɔ di sik, ɛn se i sɔprayz fɔ no se nɔbɔdi nɔ notis am fɔ so lɔng.
Bɔt i nɔ bin sɔprayz mi. Bikɔs, udat na mi layf bin no bɔt mental wɛlbɔdi biznɛs lɛk dis? Nɔn pan wi nɔ bin dɔn stɔdi bɔt mental sik. Wi bin tink se maynd sik na sɔntin we kin apin to pipul dɛn we de tɔk lawd wan, we de fɛt fɛt, we nɔ de tɔk fayn, ɛn we nɔ gɛt sɛns. A nɔ bin de fɛt fɛt, a bin lan buk gud gud wan. A bin gɛt wok. Akɔdin to wi smɔl ɔndastandin, pipul dɛm wae gɛt mɛntɛl sik nɔr kin ebul fɔ woke. So, aw a go gɛt mental sik?
Infakt, afta dɛn no se a gɛt dis sik, a lan bɔku tin bɔt maynd sik, bipolar disorder, ɛn misɛf. A bin gɛt fɔ lan fɔ tink nyu we, fɔ bil misɛf bak. A bin gɛt fɔ yus to di bad tin dɛn we di mɛrɛsin kin du. A bin gɛt fɔ fes bɔku prɔblɛm dɛn we bin ayd na mi maynd we a nɔ bin ivin no. Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl na dat, a lan fɔ tek rispɔnsibiliti fɔ di we aw a de biev. Ivin if dɛn nɔto mi fɔlt ɔl, dɛn nɔto ɛni ɔda pɔsin in fɔlt sɛf.
