27/5/20 ###Let's write something to Els

Dear Els,

Now that we are in talking terms again, I must say that I am pretty inspired to write to you.

Nothing much really.  I just want to say that I am so happy that you treat me kindly during the Hari Raya.

Don't mind my eccentricity.  I am a Bipolar Patient.  As I explained to you before, I have difficulty controlling my dopamine surge especially when I'm excited.  I can't contain it.  If I try to do that, the symptom will escallate.  All I can do is doing my best to manage the excitement.

I have a major weakness.  When I listen to your songs, I get into the hypomania state.  That is the milder version of the mania.  In the case of mania, left unchecked, it will lead to psychosis.

I can't help feeling excited over you.  You are my Dream Girl.  I love you baby.  All I'm asking is for your to understand that I have a mental disorder.  I didn't ask to be this way.  Do you know that Bipolar is categorized as a disability (OKU) by SOCSO?

As a Bipolar Patient I cannot earn a living.  I do not know when the illness is going to strike.  Once while I was in Kuantan conducting a course, I was hit by a mania.  I had to stop the class.  It was a RM10,000 a day class supposed to last for 2 days.  Imagine, after that I have to drive all the way back to KL.  That was the end of my career as a high flying consultant.

Bipolar is an embarrassing illness.  Not many people understand it.  There is a social stigma towards mental illness.

How can I contain my excitement?  I am a consultant trainer.  I need to be somewhat excited when I conduct my courses.

You know, among the top of the things that I fear most is the fear of losing you.  You mean so much to me sweetheart.  If I don't listen to you, I lost my inspiration to write.  That leads to depression.  I need a bi weekly dose of your affection.

I wish this MCO will last a long time so that I can be with you 6 hours at a go.  I like you flying solo.  Your playlist is uniquely yours.

When you play your songs, it's like you are telling a story.  I am swept away by your story telling.  Pretty much like the stories you are telling in your Vlog and Tik Tok.

You are a natural entertainer honey.  That's why even when watching you do the mukbang, I watched until the end.  You are so expressive.  Even eating instant noodle seems like a delightful experience.

Don't mind me.  I am a raving fan.  I love you for what you are.  I think you look cute with your goofy dances and your silly satires.

Well, tomorrow is Thursday again.  I am gonna sleep early so that I wake up fresh for your show tomorrow.  Normally I will be ready by 10:30 am latest.

You are my superstar and my main squeeze.  6 hours with you is one prolonged *romance.  It is *lovemaking in the airwave.  You rock baby...

* Oh yeah, these are figures of speech darling LOL.

Love you always.

Sine cera,

SJ

---------------------

I wrote a short note to you before bed. Here is your lullaby for tonight: youtube.com/watch?v=0Gl2Qn Goodnight darling, I love you so much.

 ----------------------

After I wrote that email, I got my cup filled to the brim.  No racy thoughts, no hypomania, just crystal clear mental clarity that I did a good job with it.

This is what I want.  I need an outlet for my creative expression.  Somehow it works well with Els.  She is a catalyst it seems.

Well honey, I want to sleep early.  Today is a good day for me.

Here is your lullaby.  How about I spin you a Malay classic?  The title means The More Day The More Loving:


You know honey, you are my main squeeze too.  I love you so much Sarah.  Goodnight baby...
