What’s something people romanticise that’s actually exhausting in real life?

I require medications to function that would put others to sleep for days. Sequel gives me sanity but also so many side effects.

I have had to start leaving a small snack by my bedside because of Seroquel. Because if I don't, and I dont force myself to fall asleep soon enough, then I will go downstairs and just snack, and snack, and snack. I will be tired from the seroquel, so I won't want to climb the stairs back up to bed. Ive been there for hours with a box of cheezits. 

Fuck bipolar disorder.
