Thanks for taking note of my comment, BPG. :-) It's good to know others find some value in my observations, armchair philosopher that I am.kodeureumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453446422688765648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16268336.post-1159470114404193422006-09-28T21:01:00.000+02:002006-09-28T21:01:00.000+02:00Politics and world events had no part to play in m...Politics and world events had no part to play in my manic episodes. They were stress induced. The first one was brought about at a time when I was doing approximately 1 hour a week of work on a construction site and socially I was completely isolated. I kept saying to myself, "something has to happen" as I was finding it difficult even to go shopping for food. When an new opportunity came around it brought on a massive high that I couldnt come down from. I repeated the same manic thoughts on the same date for the next 2 years as I went over the same thoughts in my mind and as I was going through other stressful events. Polarised times of boredom and high stress combined with a poor lifestyle bring out the worst in bipolar WillBeFine.<BR/><BR/>It has to be pointed out that by going by the book the first manic episode a man experiences is normally in October when he is 30 years old. So maybe my first manic experience is just Cosmic timing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16268336.post-1159470027472777782006-09-28T21:00:00.000+02:002006-09-28T21:00:00.000+02:00I would be solidly in my most disabling mixed-epis...I would be solidly in my most disabling mixed-episode state. I was there for both Gulf Wars as well, head between my knees metaphorically.<BR/><BR/>BTW, you should consider the fact that pot is a common self-medication for manics. I have to suppress the urge to smoke heavily whenever there is upheaval in my life. Though you may be right to give it some credit for the episode. But which came first? The chicken or the egg?<BR/><BR/>MageDreaming Magehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114798879373097499noreply@blogger.com
