Hey everybody. Wow, hard to even start this one.
I have been learning to live with bipolar disorder since I first went through a bipolar cycle when I was 18, ten years ago.
As I understand it, Bipolar disorder is an energy imbalance; call it chemical, call it what you like, but i am most comfortable with the term energy imbalance.
But mr sweeney, sir, you say, you are a perverer of such greatness!! So overwhelming is your awesomeness, that I could hardly ever think of a person of your stature as 'imbalanced'! Who are these false profits that make this judgment of you, and why?
Calm down, wipe the nacho cheese off your face and fingers so that you don't ruin mom's keyboard, sucka, and I'll tell you. But I'm going to be brief about it.
When I was 16 I wrapped a car around a tree and almost killed 5 people, myself included. I don't remember this, at least in my conscious memory, so the parts of my brain where this trama is stored, well, when you do something like that at a young age, and of course you don't mean to, but shit happens, right?, well, you're going to be affected by that for the rest of your life. There it is. That's my explanation.
It has been incorrectly reported that I have been battling depression. Not true. What do I have to be depressed about? I've made it further in this business and in life than I ever would have imagined possible, gotten to meet so many great people through this business, and have travelled the world. I love what I do and I'm not going anywhere.
A more proper explanation was that certain events led to an onset of mania for me in early february.
While I love Ring of Honor and certainly hope to return, I am quite angry with how I have been treated by Mr. Silken and his company. Despite any personal troubles or turbulance I may have been going through, I never once showed up in a condition where I was unable to perform.
I do not have a drinking problem, nor a drug problem, but my brain gets a little bit coocoo for cocoa puffs sometimes. Really? In the grand scheme of life, that ain't really a big deal. I'm certainly not complaining.
But, the company treated me like a drug addict, not like a person with a medical condition. You see, if somebody shows up drunk or stoned to work and gets caught, then you can suspend or fire them... but in the eyes of the law, in such a crzy world, if any person has a bout with craziness and is seeking care, they cannot be treated the same way, at least this is what my lawyers have told me.
