Abnormal Metamorphosis
Chapter 8: Grey Disease
Rosaline finally made up her mind. Okay, I resigned if Grey was angry with me because I asked for his illness, I know Grey always avoids being asked about his illness sign Grey does not want his disease to be known. But I also can't keep – out of curiosity and mind this problem all the time. I hope the photo is just a hoax. I hope...
Rosaline barks at Grey, inviting him to follow her behind the deserted school building, where she talks to Danni earlier. They were sitting on the old bench that was there.
“It..” Rosaline shakily hands out the photo that Danni sent to her WA to Grey. “Say this photo is just a hoax...Tell me this photo was a lie, Grey!”
Initially Grey looked surprised to see the photo, long ago the young man was stunned by the photo inside Rosaline's HP, but eventually Grey shook his head.
“No, that photo is not a hoax...It’s real.” replied Grey to Rosaline's surprise. “I don't know how they take my picture...And why is it on your HP?”
Rosaline was too shocked to say where she got the photo from, the girl just clenched her mouth, looking at Grey with an unacceptable look.
“Photo is not a hoax? So then...So then...Ye...Why treatment in a mental hospital?”
“Yeah, I did need treatment yesterday there..”.
“Need treatment there?”
“Okey, okay, I will tell you the truth...You already know that, too...My doctors diagnosed me with Bipolar Disorder.” Grey said without looking at Rosaline as so heavy actually to say that.
“What Grey?”
“Doctor diagnosed me with Bipolar Disorder..”
“Bipolar Disorder? Jesus Christ..” Rosaline was struck by lightning when she heard Grey's shocking reply. So is it Grey? My God, what happened to Grey after nine years? Until he became...Well as bang Danni said...Mental ill? Rosaline was in disbelief. Was it because of the trauma of her mother's tragic death? Is it because he married again? Greys, Greys....My childhood friend...Why did all this happen? This must be a big mistake! It must be a nightmare!
Instantly there was no disgust or fear arising in the girl, it was a deep sense of pity and sadness that enveloped Rosaline's heart when she looked at Grey.
“Keauannya when I SMP...Time in America..” Further Grey flat.
Rosaline could only be silent to hear it. The girl did not know why arrived – suddenly her eyes became blurred, full of tears.
“Hey, how did you cry? I wasn't dead yet!” Grey was surprised at the attitude of Rosaline who arrived – arrived crying it. “What the hell is it? How did you arrive – arrived so this is it?“
“Sorry...Sorry..” said Rosaline while trying to wipe away her tears.
“My American doctors said that I am just okay, as long as I take medicine, so papa also decided to put me in public school like this, because I have been declared OK...You don't have to cry, do you?!” lang Grey's.
“Sorry, I...I'm just worried about you..” Rosaline could not continue the word – she said, the girl began to cry again while clasping Grey's hand tightly – as a flood of her feelings.
For a moment Grey seemed amazed to see Rosaline crying, crying because she was worried! The young man looked at Rosaline with admiration, no one had ever cared or worried about him like this before. Nothing, not even his family. Ever since the death of his mother, no one had ever cared for him, he had always been left alone befriending his abundant treasures, the robot-like – bodyguard obeying his every command, the robot-like bodyguard obeyed his every command, household assistant who is like a Barbie doll looking down – nduk meet every need. Bullshits!
“Already, please cry no more, I don't need you to worry anyway I don't ask pity anyone - who.... I’m just fine!” said Grey. The young man tried to cover up his true feelings, he did not want to appear weak in Rosaline's eyes.
“Sorry...Excuse me..I'm not feeling sorry...I'm just worried because you're my best friend from a long time ago, my best friend and until now that feeling won't change, Grey. That's why I always care about whatever happens to you.” Rosaline hunts – hastens to correct the word – said Grey so that there is no misunderstanding that makes Grey offended.
“The most beloved friend?”
“Ya, Gray..”
“Friends who are mentally ill! Did you know I have bipolar disorder and you still love me? Not ashamed to be my friend?”
“Why should I be ashamed? Nothing to be ashamed of, Grey.”.
“My family just seems embarrassed to have a child like me, so I was told to live in the apartment, the Caucasian woman was afraid I strangled her son Monica if I was home with them. And papa just obey the will of that damn bule woman!” grey said while laughing bitterly.
Rosaline was just stunned to hear it, not knowing what to comment on, how much the Grey family was behaving? Excommunicate Grey to the apartment? Indeed mental illness for some people is a disease that is frightening or disgusting. But we can't just throw away or ostracize our families affected by the disease, no one wants to suffer from mental illness, bipolar disorder or what's the name, the inner girl is concerned.
A WA notification coming into Rosaline's HP, made the girl gasp. WA from Sheila reminded Rosaline of her promise to follow her to the cafeteria.
“Grey...Like I have to go to the cafeteria? I forgot my promise to Sheila. You coming?” rosaline asked me wrongly, because I didn't really want to leave Grey.
“Nope...I'm just here..” replied Grey.
“You sure?”
“Sure..”
“OK..”
**********
That night Rosaline couldn't sleep because she thought about Grey. The girl goes back and forth – open – open her old photo album on her bed, pay attention to photo – photo of little Grey who is smiling happily with her, running – free run, playing swing in the park. Rosaline let out a long sigh as if she was trying to let go of her grief. Grey is his best friend, who used to be always full of happiness, cheerfulness, nine years apart turned out to make it like this. I didn't expect...Luxurious life is not guaranteed to be happy. Inner Rosaline bitter.
Bipolar Disorders? Frankly the name is still foreign to Rosaline. Throughout the knowledge of the girl, whose name is mentally ill is a person who is not connected to the surrounding and must enter a mental hospital.
But it looks like this is different, after all Grey seems to be normal – just normal, nothing strange, inner Rosaline while frowning.
Rosaline then decided to browse the internet from her android HP, the girl knew her knowledge of bipolar disorder suffered by Grey is still very minimal.
“Bipolar Disorder...” murmured Rosaline while pressing ‘Search’ posts on Google site. Various posts about Bipolar Disorder from various sources instantly appeared on his HP screen. Rosaline read it one – one.
Bipolar Disorder is a psychiatric illness characterized by extreme mood swings. People with this condition have an unstable mood, which is very fast changing and opposite. Sometimes, he would feel very active and excited. On the other hand, he will feel depressed and depressed. Often, between the changes of the two, the patient still experiences a normal mood condition.

Rosaline slowly – slowly trying to understand the understanding, so Bipolar Disorder is not a mental illness that is not connected to the surrounding like ‘ang crazy’ who is on the road – that way...Bipolar Disorder is a psychiatric disease characterized by extreme and unstable mood or mood changes, but the patient can still experience normal conditions among the mood changes, hmm...But what's the cause? Why do people suffer from Bipolar Disorder? Curiosity discontented the girl and continued browsing again, looking for more detailed information about Bipolar Disorder.
What are the causes of bipolar disorder?
As of this writing, it remains unclear what the specific cause of bipolar disorder is, but there are several factors that have been known to cause bipolar disorder symptoms. Factors that cause bipolar disorder are:
1. Brain condition. The brain can go through various physical changes that affect the level of brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) present in it. Transmiters are substances that affect mood.
2. Genetic heredity. Your parents or other family members can have the possibility of having a bipolar disorder that is passed on to you.
3. Influence of social environment. Researchers have found that there may be several social factors that can lead to the onset of bipolar disorder. These factors can include feeling stressed about a traumatic event in childhood, low self-confidence, or experiencing a tragic loss.

Trauma in childhood, a tragic loss? It's exactly what Grey was...Inner Rosaline was stunned. Then it must have been the traumatic death of her unnatural mother that caused Grey to get Bipolar Disorder psychiatric illness...Poor Grey...Oh my God, can this disease be cured?
Not feeling the fingers Rosaline scrolls her HP screen again see – see other information. The girl's fingers stalled on an article about the artist Marshanda.
The Story of Marshanda Artist Conquering Bipolar and Finally Successful
KOMPAS.com - Marshanda claimed it took 3 years to accept the fact that he had bipolar disorder. During that time, Marshanda never stopped to recognize the bipolar he had.
"In 2009 I was sentenced to have bipolar disorder, and the fact that it was very difficult for me to take it for granted, because it seemed to feel no problem," Marshanda told Kompas.com, Thursday (29/3/2018).
According to Chacha, Marshanda's nickname, the attitude of rejecting the reality turned out to be only an obstacle for him to rise and move on.
"Just accept the fact that there is bipolar in us. After that, we learn to recognize the symptoms and anticipate them with the help of a doctor. If we still reject reality, our lives will not be productive" he said.
However, Marshanda admitted it is not easy and each patient has different conditions and therapies that adjust the type of bipolar owned.
For Marshanda, one of the ways he can still control his emotions is by writing five positive things in his daily open.
"Every night before bed, I always write five positive things that I am grateful for during my day of activity, and this helps me to think positively," he said.
Marshanda also regretted that there is still a negative stigma in the community related to bipolar disorder. He encourages sufferers not to be affected by the stigma.
"His choice, does your life want to be bipolar or do you control it? If you choose the second one, then you will not be ashamed to come to an expert to solve your problem. Build as many relationships as possible with the community and try to be productive" she said, a beautiful artist who likes to make the poem.
