"Hurt" sung by Johnny Cash is a haunting truth that is inevitable for many who live with and suffer from mental illnesses. Trent Reznor composed the song during a personal "time of intense depression" and penned the iconic classic in his bedroom in which he kept the door handle once the depression subsided as a memento of the time spent.

I suffer from crippling and debilitating depression daily in moods that are swept up by manic moods and eventually, if I do not focus on trying to remain focused on a task such as this channel and feel productive, I fall into a very dark depression in which I am bed ridden for a couple days to the longest one time period being a week and a half. During this time, psychomotor retardation is ever present. Experiencing psychomotor retardation feels as if a dial has been turned to put you on slow speed. The resulting effects include sluggish or diminished body movements, usually accompanied by a similar slowing of your thought processes.

Oppositely, Psychomotor agitation is a feeling of anxious restlessness that causes a person to make movements without meaning to. Psychomotor agitation often affects people with bipolar disorder, but it is also associated with other conditions that affect mental health or neurological function.

Yes, I have the inescapable time periods of both the low depression and its associated symptoms such as psychomotor retardation and then the highs with psychomotor agitation. Again, I have Affective Bipolar Type 1, Severe, Mixed with Psychosis so I experience the depression and mania exclusive from each other and then at times simultaneously.

Thank You,

- Justin
