I think it's partly because of an uprooting of society an unstability that sometimes results in drug and alcohol abuse and just a feeling of not belonging.We are a restless society that needs to slow down and smell those proverbial roses,and we will find everything we need in a close physical proximity to our birthplace.
@guytitanic I disagree. For some people, such as myself, bipolar is biologically based. There is a mutated gene that is passed down w/i the family. It is like any genetic disease.
For other people it can be brought on by unrelenting stress changing the chemicals of the person & environmental factors like possibly toxins that impact the brain. Unrelenting stress brings on depression & changes a brain chemically. Bipolar is like unipolar in that it is a chemical imbalance. see: NIMH or CDC
@HidingFromEveryone There is a biological facter and it does run in families and I was once diagnosed as such, but I found my nature and it" HELPED" find my cure.Life is an ongoing discovery process but when we find our true selves we find a cure, or a life more manageable even if it's just solitude we are looking for.
@guytitanic Just because you change my home does not mean I am going to get well from bipolar. I will continue to have a chemical imbalance that needs to be treated with medication. Anyone who has bipolar needs meds to save their life. The illness gets worse as you age. This is why you will see people with bipolar who are off their meds killing themselves. It is not shocking at all to those of us who have BP. People with BP have the highest suicide success rate per mental illness as a whole.
@HidingFromEveryone Wrong. Not everyone with bi-polar has to have meds. to manage. And not everyone who has to have meds. has to have them all the time. Do not make the oft repeated mistake of making all individuals fit into a medical sterotype like an assembly line. I say this as a bi-polar individual.
And some people ON meds. kill themselves, so what then? Pills only help take the edge off, s.t.s They are not a cure, just a "quick fix".
@TheLilacmama Depends on the type of Bipolar. I am referring Bipolar I & II.
FYI: Do NOT tell ME what to do. That will not work. Try a softer tone and being respectful. You will get further. I do not respond well to people who demand I do something. Ask me nicely and say "please."
Yes, it is a roller coaster ride for sure. I was married to a bi-polar for 33 years. I finally had to get off the ride. Still love her but can't live with her any more.
@Netwriter a person isn't "a bipolar" they "have bipolar" just like a person is not "a diabetic" they instead "have diabetes." you are not your disease such as cancer. you have cancer. there is a difference. it causes people to change their perception of us how it is framed when we are referenced. make sense?
did she ever get help? therapy? meds? NAMI? DBSA Alliance? anything?
@HidingFromEveryone Yes it does make sense and is correct. Just a bad habit of mine. I am a diabetic btw. ;o)
Yes she got help. Has been on everything that has come out. Each would at first make her ill for a good while then start to work for awhile, then quit working. She is happier living alone, says she has lots less regret to live with when there is no one around to treat badly. I see her often, still fix her car when the need arrises and other times I can come to the rescue.
@Netwriter that is tough when a person has a difficult time responding to meds. i was diagnosed 4 years a go. i have not yet found the proper meds, proper mix of meds or the proper dose. i still struggle with ups and downs. it has not been easy. i feel for your ex. it is not an easy place for her to be in that position. i feel for you. it is not an easy decision to walk away from a marriage.
@sakurascookies The first guy is Jean-Claude Van Damme. He flamed out while in the midst of a manic cycle. If you lived in the LA area you would heard all the things he did. He damaged his career. He ruined his marriages. Threatened his ex-wife's attorney to try and stop the divorce. Once he was diagnosed and went on lithium he calmed dooooooown. So much so that he remarried ex-wife #3.
Bobby Brown - now we know why he behaves so erratically (aside from the drugs and alcohol).
