BiPolar Advantage, while I may not agree with all the finer points (even bi-polars are individuals in perception sometimes), I do agree with the greater concept you speak ofin your vids. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and soul for posting these, and for endeavoring to reconnect bi-polars and the rest of humanity rather thn disenfranchising us all further.

[BipolarAdvantage]

@TheLilacmama Thank you for the encouragement. I don't even agree with all the finer points :-) It is the big picture I am concerned about.

I have some new videos coming soon

You shouldn't tell people "How To Master Bipolar" because they can't it's called opening your eyes telling people how to open their eyes make them hate you for saying the impossible you have to do it themselves

[BipolarAdvantage]

I am very sorry that someone convinced you that you cannot master bipolar. Whoever claims that it is not possible is doing a huge disservice and tremendous harm to anyone that they get to believe it. Please go to our website and find out about the path to get there. These videos are just a taste of what is possible.

I'm going to buy you're book. Do you do any poetry or art of and sort of you're own? I know you talk about how a lot of Bipolar people are famous artists I was just wondering about you?

[BipolarAdvantage]

I hope the books make a positive difference in your life. Unfortunately I have not developed any talent for art, music, or other forms of expression other than writing and talks. For me those are my art. I am working on a new book now called "Bipolar In Order - Looking at Depression, Mania, and Schizophrenia from the other side." I hope to have it finished this summer. I will probably have videos based on it out sooner. If you subscribe, youtube will let you know when I post them.

Will do thank you.

Your vids are very good btw.=]

@Alterna123 Maybe, if people WOULD open their eyes to the possibility of using all the negative energy that comes with bi-polar to harness for positive uses, they'd find that they were taking the first steps to LIVING with it, instead of being imprisoned and debased by it.

[TheLilacmama]

@Alterna123 Of course there are some ( and not in the majority by any means), that are so severe that they really are better off in institutions. However, the very stigmas he speaks of, come from mentalities like yours that alienate we bi-polars from the rest of society. The point is to create empathy between people, not judgement.So, maybe his way isn't right for you, that doesn't mean there isn't a way, it means you haven't found yours yet.

[TheLilacmama]

@Alterna123 That is thething that soooo peeves me as someone with bi-polar. My neurologist is past amazed that I've managed mine without meds for so long and am still married (16 yrs.) and haven't committed suicide, murder, and can keep job for 4 years. Saying they CAN'T control it, ever, is an excuse for not finding what works for them as an individual to do so. It's just easier to use it as an excuse than to look at very ugly truths, accept those, and then act accordingly.

Being Bipolar is the label you get for having the awakening you get when you see beyond the veil of illusion from that we are conditioned to believe is reality.  If we avoid hospitals, jails and institutions we are being productive citizens.

Another great one! But, since depression is new to me...compared to anxiety/hypomania-hard time figuring out my triggers. I think there are a lot. I believe I'm a rapid cycler. I guess that's what the mood charts etc. come in...

[gercadee]

Being the saint in the Room!! Brilliant!!!

I had to learn this stuff on my own.. i commend you for talking about this stuff.

I heard you say something about loving your lows.

once i figured that one out it became much easier..

Thank you!

[anthonymezzapelle]

@BipolarAdvantage yeah, I feel like I've almost mastered it, but it's been a long process... keep telling as many people as possible
