I knew a girl who suffered from Bi-Polar disorder. In many ways she was an extraordinary person. Beautiful, Prom Queen, all those things. Really sweet nature.
But just out of the blue, she would become a totally different person. She finally got married, had a little girl and I hope she has overcome her demons.
It sounds like Lois Lane never did.
I am not trying to be disrespectful, but one does not “overcome” those demons. Brain Chemistry is one of those things that is tolerated, or you can medically change it.
I know, first hand, that real depression (not just the blues) can be debilitating. And honestly, even your loved ones tire of it. They still love you...but its tough.
The longer I live, the more I understand how some people are just done with it all. I know its a sin. I have never been that down. But I understand how it happens.
If you have never been around it or experienced it, you are incredibly lucky.
I remember finally hitting on the right meds...and walking around with my wife one day and asking, “Is this how it is for everyone else? Every day?”
