Do I talk like this because of my bipolar disorder? [View all]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028614365

Am I a bad person? Am I stupid? I know my intent was meant to be energizing and productive and I can't blame others for not getting that.

So do I blame me? How harshly do I blame myself? Is this a big deal? Little deal?

Am I shit or just bad at talking? Am I good at talking but a little confusing?

Should I internalize this? But I like me. I like my energy. I like my goals.

Sigh
