I Think I'm Bipolar

The Secret Of My Bipolar Boon!!

By: freebirdbywill
Written on August 27th, 2012
I had been daignosed for bipolar disorder and what I think is Bipolar disorder is not a curse its in fact can prove to be a boon for the person if he learns to manipulate his mania and he learns to be patient while a depression phase..

Mania is like a boon for me..I feel so energetic,feel like flying,having fun and if I imagine doing all this I feel like I have enjoyed a lot in reality..Isn't it a boon!!! I see dreams so vivid and lucid and how I feel , I can't describe in words..

I never feel depressed without a reason..this means that depression is not autonomous for me but Mania is. And sometimes I feel extremely good..to remain grounded I use my own therapy too..

When I think about depression I end up with reason that either I got dumped or someone who is close to me shows no inthusiasm when i feel extremely energetic..but now I have learnt a bit to deal with it.

On the other hand medicines do a little help..in fact they make you "Dumb"...

I think your Libido also plays important role in your mania..I never feel over exited about sex but it shows in other ways like beautiful dreams,over energetic, imaginative behavior,
so attentive etc..

In short bipolar disorder has made me what I am today and I m proud to be a Bipolar..

    How do you find people around you, how to they react once you trust them etc and they find out about your Bipolar? I'm from a Turkish background was born and raised here in Aus. I find some non-western cultures don't know alot and still have to progress alot more on acceptance then Aus about mental health... My husbands from India and he has similar response to my Mum, they both don't want me to be on meds and to learn to cope with life etc better myself.... I've been ok without meds so far but I find there are still some days it's harder to keep mood positive and very hard to keep motivation.....

      We used to go to the local Gurdwara (unsure of spelling sorry) with my husband, I always found it very relaxing and peaceful even though I don't understand the prayers etc and they are all very accepting of different mix of people... Lately my husband works late hours he doesn't come home until about 7-8pm 6 days a week... I started my hand craft and sewing again even if it's just cute stuff... Who wrote the book you suggested? Is it available everywhere?

    I can see your point of view! It takes a long time to learn but how you chose to see Bipolar makes a very big impat on how badly it affects you... I was diagnosed with Bipolar about 2-3 yrs ago and was on meds until Nov last year, I got off them as my husband and I decided that we don't want to have to wait too long to have kids and were advised the meds are not good for pregnancy...



    I use the Mania to have fun and to get more things done and constantly look out for distractions and activities to keep myself busy during the depression! I managed to teach myself to "try" to focus as little as possible on the depression! To a point it definately works but I believe we still need to keep dr's informed etc on our progress etc and to be monitored....

    I always say no one should ever judge someone about how they deal with their issues. I think you have a fascinating way of dealing with bipolar and I think its inspiring how you twisted it around and I really respect you for that. Wishing you all the best .
