Nothing To Say Today

Nothing to say today
My brain has gone away
But even if I did
Both my lips have hid :-
Can't find them on my face
They moved from their old place
If you see them send them home
So I can end this poem.:-)

My Manias Can Be Golden

When we bipolar' are off our meds and in a manic
episode, we can feel like gods in mind body and soul
even though others don't see it. It's that silky smooth
feeling in my soul, like rubbing up against or touching
G-d feeling that I get at times. like when I know all
the answers to all the questions. Like when my every
thought seems like a glimmering jewel on a platter of
silver.....at least to me. A controlled mania (by willpower)
is for me a powerful tool that has no equal. If it was up
to me, I would always be in a controlled mania, but it's
not up to me, it's up to my bipolarity which also can be
depressive causing stupidity. I have recently learned that
there may be new meds out there that can keep me up
and smart, I hope so cause being depressed and dumb 
is just no fun at all. :-)

Seeing My Cycles Without Meds

It was almost impossible for me to note
my bipolar cycles in the past, since I was
always high on something. But after not
drinking alcohol for over a year and not
doing other drugs, I can finally see it
when I shift from one cycle to the next.

Last October 2008 I can remember the
feeling of coming down from a, what seemed
like, two year mania. I went from being 
energetic, sharp/smart, always doing a
project and loving life, to a depressed mess
without the smarts to to anything...... all
within 3-4 days. I couldn't believe it but
it happened before my very eyes. Then I
said, YES I finally got to see and note first
hand while sober, a cycle change in progress.

I was so excited to be witnessing and 
experiencing my cycle change, that I never
felt it until I did, meaning it all happened
so fast that it was over by the time I felt it.
Anyway, now I am looking forward to seeing
my change from this depression I am in, to
an up and energetic mania. But I hope it 
happens soon, cause I am about to go on meds
if it doesn't.

I May Have To Go On Meds

As much as I hate the idea of going on meds,
I may have to anyway. For the first time in
my adult life, I am in a depressive cycle of
my bipolarity. This is not just a few days or
weeks, but since October of 2008. I have never
been this depressed for this long. This is all 
new to me as I am used to being up manic and
creating art. I am learning a lot about bipolar
meds from a bipolar forum I joined last week.
It seems that I can take some meds and still
be creative, only time will tell. I see a new
pdoc on March 2nd and I am thinking about
trying Lamictal and Ambilify.

True Bipolarity is Rare

More often than not, doctors diagnose bipolarity
as a means to sell their bipolar drugs. This is
now common knowledge among true bipolar'.
I heard a doctor on the net saying that there
are 6 million bipolar' in the USA alone.
But what he didn't say was that out of the 6
million only 600 thousand are true bipolar
and the rest are just led to believe that they
are bipolar. We all know that doctors are in
bed with the drug makers to push their drugs.
True bipolarity is artistic creative genius, but
the rest are just collateral damage. Victims of
the drug makers and their doctors. According 
to doctor (her math) Kay Jamison who is bipolar 
herself, there are only 600 thousand true bipolar' 
worldwide, and 90% of these are artists.

Bipolar and Grandiosity

I really don't need to say much here save that
grandiosity is a symptom of bipolarity. It can 
be treated with meds. If you are grandiose then
people won't like to be around you and will walk
away from you shaking their heads. 

GRANDIOSITY..... Don't go there girlfriend.

Walking Away For a While

I have decided to not post anymore on the
Science Forum, at least for a long while.
All I do there is to make myself look more
stupid than I already am. After being accused
of trying to make a pity-party for myself
I realized that I was wasting my time there.
If people want to learn about bipolarity then
they can just go read about it themselves.
