Accepting The Possible About Bipolar

http://www.bipolaradvantage.com If we do not accept that it is possible to have a great life with bipolar, we will not. Accepting the possibility that we have within us the power to turn our bipolar condition to an advantage is the first step.

Tom Wootton has constructed a unique perspective of bipolar/clinical depression. His view is unique primarily because it helps us look at the positive aspects of being bipolar/clinically depressed. We don't need to be "healed", we need to embrace our extra-sensory powers. In doing this, we can live a fully productive life.

websuspect-the numbers are greatly inflated. Being emotionally disturbed is not an illness; it is a reaction. Our emotions tell us there is something wrong in our lives just as much as physical pain tells us something is wrong. I would agree that it is important to talk about and learn how to deal with the issues in our lives.

A bipolar can induce a mania and apply as an analagesic or antidepressant as needed. So depression then is changed by a control AND A DECISION to use the control. A bipolar has everything needed to adjust except for the degradation of consciousness of the normals.

Healing is a much bigger word than remission. Healing where it is possible is to a new purpose; relieving symptoms (double negative) can only be process by negative feedback, assuming worthwhile purpose. Every human needs to heal.

Who are the people who stigmatize the bipolar? The medical community has defined the problem and solution so as to limit the control and creativity of such people. But i suppose medical insurance and academia are also responsible for this branding.

i assume that more than a few bipolars are a complete waste of oxygen.

Bipolars really have the same responsibility as everyone else to develop thinking, feeling, and behaviour in the direction of strong values. Modified behaviour is for lab rats.

@numshine9 cont.... part 2... And the patient says "I don't care what you say! I have a perfect right to be 'not nice' and I'm not taking your drugs and treatment just so I can be nice to you!" And all of that is, to some extent, true. But it is beside the point. You use the drugs and therapy to relieve the SUFFERING from symptoms of hopelessness, pain and panic, and so forth. That IS the point. (And as a bonus you may even start to act a little nicer.)

[JeanKM1]

@numshine9 With bipolar, you SUFFER from hopelessness, despair, nausea, the pain of rage, extreme panic, muscle pain, anguish, anxiety, fear of people, desperation and more. Nonetheless, you may ACT anywhere on a scale from "not nice" to "nice". People think the purpose of drugs and treatment is improving the way you ACT from "not nice" to "nice". Understandingly, others say "You don't need drugs and treatment to be nice." cont.....

@JeanKM1 I like this comment...can you elaborate on this a little bit?

[JeanKM1]

I do not agree that the problem is how you ACT. The problem is how you SUFFER.

The whole "chemical imbalance" and "lack of insight" theories are crimes against humanity. Of course, chemical imbalance which needs chemical cure creates much more capital flow than helping people to live their lifes in a way they want to (however concomformist it might be...). I wish bipolars were taught how to make the best with their condition...

I think it possible to learn to master our emotions and not to be ruled about our emotions, but instead rise above them.

I talk to God. He's my best bud. He keeps me going until the haters bring be back down with their drugs and negativity. Such is there much need to reserach the use of THC for medicinal useage, as there is the need to research the correlation between religion and euphoric mania. Imo, pure faith and clarity in your own religious mindset can erradicate the jostling uneveness that is BD/MD. I don't just travel Up and Down, I also travel Left, Right. Move In and Out, Forwards and Backwards. I am.
