It is known by many that I am BiPolar, also known as manic depression though that is a false statement as there is many moods you can go through when **thinks** being manic, right now I am on an up mood, I have been manically cleaning the house and arranging so many things in my life, this is the times I get a lot done, everything from my blogs (yes you can also see the last weeks before I was depressed, little or no blog entries) to my creativity for my crafts are just rushing through my head constantly, to writing more then one business plan a week!
Today I went to see my shrink, many things were said and talked about but he is worried about some of my manic periods, he did not tell me anything new really, to tell you the truth with osme of his advice to me, which mind you is also illegal, I am thinking my shrink needs a shrink!
Oh yes just before you judge me or drop me like a hot potato because I am manic, just remember, BiPolar is a chemical unbalance/disorder the same as someone who has diabetes has a disorder of "basically" the pancreas produces too much insulin, which when monitored can be controlled, BiPolar is the same, so think about it, would you stop being someones friend because they had diabetes ?

I'd stop being friends with someone based on what they do, not on who they are. My brother's ex girlfriend broke into my Mother's house and tried to kill my brother's new girl friend. Her excuse was that she didn't like taking her medication. The scary thing is that she could have gotten away with killing another person that way. It has happened before. If you find people a little concerned about befriending someone on medication it isn't a personal thing about yourself, it's knowing there is a real danger in some cases.
After my experience I'd be a little worried about someone who should be on medication who decides not to. Just as a friend I had in high school who was epileptic. She could have had a fit at any time. I knew her for years. She taught me what to do should she need me to help her. I was glad I never had to but I was glad to know what to do.
I come to visit you almost every day. I'd meet you for coffee and we could chat up a storm. I trust everyone until they give me a reason not to. But, not everyone is that way. As much as you want to be understood you need to try to understand other people too.
Hope you don't take this as being critical of you. I don't mean it that way at all. I didn't post to upset you just to exchange thoughts, ideas and experiences, as blogging gives us the chance to do that.
Thank you for your comment, I also drop by you daily just forget to press drop sometimes :-)
There is so much people do not realise or understand about BiPolar and it can range from a small depression once a year to someone being suicidal, I have never had the urge to kill myself or anyone else though it is also under the "umbrella" of BiPolar, Anyone who needs to be medicated for anything at all and stop taking meds because they "think" they are ok, need their head read (sorry for the pun)
As for using BiPolar as an excuse in court to kill someone to plead insanity, sadly it has been used before and I see it as... as.... oh I hold my tongue!
As I said I am in a high energy manic way right now, so need your house cleaned? :-)
I really do need the house cleaned. Badly. My Mother is far fussier about cleaning than I am and she is coming home from snowbirding in Florida this coming week. I'm trying to get things done but it won't ever be up to her standards. :)
I posted this topic in my blog too. I'd like to see what people think about it. Between the two of us we should get some interesting thoughts.
oh wow interesting!!! I cant wait to see what people have to say!!!
Hey Shy,
I can certainly relate to the way you're feeling. I suffer from bouts of depression and have done so for years.
I'd like to stick around awhile if you don't mind...and you're an Aussie like me...we stick together!
Quite a few posts came in. Good ones. :)
Hang tight! You'll find your way. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE has the same shitty problems. The difference I have found is how some of us choice to personally deal with and think about them. I have had a long journey of healing. Be at ease, Lauren
