Concerts for nothing, and your trips for free
Came across this good quote the other day:
If you're BiPolar and having a Manic attack, you can go to the concert for free (and even get to be the holy ghost on drums...)
the disordered life of a BiPolar creative with underlying delusions of grandeur. REALTIME.

Came across this good quote the other day:
Labels: On mania
"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."

ReplyDeleteThis will be a special year for me. I've already been in two of those, and we've only got May so far.
ReplyDeleteEven though he is dead, HST is one of my favorite writers and people. He probably lived life the most of anyone ever.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite HST quote:
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
Buy the ticket...take the ride. :)
Crapola!! How could I forget this one!! This is my favorite...I totally forgot about this one!!! Damn, all those drugs I did are starting to catch up with me. :/
ReplyDeleteThe Edge...the is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the people who have gone over.
The concerts were great but I never seemed to have the busfare to get home afterwards. :-(
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL - I dont get that manic. You make it sound attractive. However I have always been greatful that I dont get that manic. I either get nicely hypomanic... just enough to "almost" get myself into trouble, but now that I recognize what it is I am feeling I can control it. Barely. No hallucinations or anything as of yet. Or I get miserably dysphoric. I hate that. I think I really am VERY greatful tho. I was always terrified of acid after watching a few people on bad trips I decided I never wanted to risk one myself.
