The Middle Road

[matilda36]

Shoving the insistent panic from the front of his thoughts, he forces his cramping body to go faster. He's a free man, he's outside and the gray sky is above him. He has a job and a car and a mortgage. He takes care of people. He is in control. He's better; he has to be better.

Then why are you swallowing lithium every night?

This is a quote from nilchancebeautiful fic The Middle road (  you can find it at her journal or at http://community.livejournal.com/whatwekeep/ the Community created for poisontasterA Kept Boy AU, that I strongly reccomend to all those into high quality slavery fics, RPS and great fics in general)

I recognise myself a lot in this paragraph. Bipolar disorder can be medicated, and life can be relatively normal for us, but there's always the edge, the knowing that anything at any moment can knock you off balance. And the temptation of hypomania, where you feel like you own the world and for a while you actually do, before everything comes crashing down.
