Hi. Well. Bi polar sucks...but is awesome too. It's what i know....and what i understand about me.

Oh such negatives....to many bloody negatives...positives....yes they exist.
If one can manage the disorder then one is beyond awesome and beyond talented. A bloody genius.

Bi polar disorders are the most biggest chaotic cluster expletive one can face. People of the ignorant kind have no clue of how much a process bi polar is.

Positives. A wealth of creativity...and yep we get into big messes but no matter how screwed rhe idea we creatively design something up....even if it totally demented. This is creativity on steroids i know...but the positives when ya understand yourself and the disorder and have compliance our mania can be expressed in a more controlled manner. A little mania i am finding to be stabilising...i would be stuffed without it.

People with bi polar are mentally more stronger than people get.

This disorder for me i not suffer with...i live with and it on loan at the moment. I hate and love bi polar...this is my realization.

I did nothing wrong to gain my bp stripes...
Understanding myself wirhout the mania and depressive crashes...and all in between will be the true realization of myself...no meds...no chaos...no imbalances no mania..
Well this will be the biggest level of chaos I will ever encounter. HT

Hi Jamie,

I feel bad because I may have said some negative comments about bipolar. I think it is only because some of the ones I know or have seen, don't take their medications. My mother was bipolar and so manipulative.

But I also know that bipolar people can be very intelligent. And can do great things, especially if they use their bipolar tendencies constructively. Kind of like autistic people can be geniuses. I think it is a lot in the person and how they live with their situation.

But if I did say anything negative, I am sorry.

Just like depression in some ways. When I am depressed I paint. Problem is with my medications right now I am not depressed bad enough to paint. But I am thinking more and more about it so maybe I will work on some I started a few years ago.

I hope you have a good day.

Hugs, Karen...

I haven't been manic in many years.

However, when I was, I had a lot of ideas that would go through my mind, I liked to talk too much, and I knew I was unwell emotionally.

Most people would rather be manic than be depressed. But not me.

HT,

I love that post. Yer a magician with hammer and nail. These are things I too have discovered once I stopped my BP meds. I found my mind stifled by the meds but even the resultant mania has been cause for celebration. Takes a bit to learn control but once ya do - wow...it's me again! Thanks for this post.

Brian
