Identity crisis: bipolar disorder.

I was diagnosed with mild bipolar disorder 2 years ago, I mounted pictures, drawings and poems on an A3 size mounting board to express how bipolar disorder is a form of an identity crisis.

Identity:
I do not know who i am as a person when depressed or in mania.
My emotions have complete sovereignty over me.

Fiction:
I modify pictures of myself and use them as avatars online sites to show
people how i feel.

Reality:
The overwhelming demands of reality and its “action leads to equal consequence”
law is too much to handle. This greatly affects my emotions and causes my disorder to act up.

Addiction:
When reality is too much to take, I turn to online networking sites such at Facebook
to “fill” the void in my soul.
