the disordered life of a BiPolar creative with underlying delusions of grandeur. REALTIME.
- there are no answers. only choices -
I've decided to put this old poll of mine out to pasture. (It used to sit in the right hand bar)
Interestingly, I personally was in the minority on this one. Has BiPolar made me stronger?
I Can't make this decision.
(depends how you measure it...)

"Bipolar disorder (previously known as manic depression) is a psychiatric diagnostic category describing a class of mood disorders in which the person experiences clinical depression and/or mania, hypomania, and/or mixed states. The disorder can cause great distress among those afflicted and those living with them. Left untreated, bipolar disorder can be a disabling condition, with a high risk of death through suicide."
"The difference between bipolar disorder and unipolar disorder (also called major depression) is that bipolar disorder involves both elevated and depressive mood states. The duration and intensity of mood states varies widely among people with BiPolar disorder. Fluctuating from one mood state to the next is called "cycling". Mood swings can cause impairment or improved functioning depending on their direction (up or down) and severity (mild to severe). There can be changes in one's energy level, sleep pattern, activity level, social rhythms and cognitive functioning. Some people with Bipolar disorder may have difficulty functioning during these times."

ok i know its stupid but you know what, when i took that poll i was feeling low and then if i took it today i'd prolly mark something different which brings me to a question:how reliable are these polls... for bipolars i mean.
ReplyDeleteStronger, no. But more knowledgeable in different ways. Most importantly, it's given me an appreciation of what others may be facing, and has helped to make me more compassionate and understanding.
