Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, is Bipolar. If that's not comforting on a weird geek-level, I don't know what is.

Series: Theme Songs of my Madness
Link to the video on YouTube if you'd rather/if that doesn't work.
Yes, 2 posts back to back, MADNESS. I was having a conversation with a dearly loved friend and companion on life's crazy train and they both came up. So here they are.
This is going to be the first in a series about how music can easily represent how I was feeling at certain points in my life.
There was a time when this song was on repeat, because I felt like she was singing out of my own heart. I was suspecting I had something wrong--but I perceived it as "just how I am sometimes" rather than a symptom that I should be handling. I cannot prove it in a "look over here at my medical chart" way, but I believe my passion for this song was in a hypomanic phase. Or maybe I was just particularly hyper. Either way...Dresden Dolls and Amanda Palmer--GRACIAS.
