4. Why We're Bipolar: Normal Life Sucks!

I'm not sure that "doing whatever I want" would amount to a rampage of hedonism and terrorism...

I'd be more likely to sit at a drum kit for most of every day... and not make any money ...

Sounds like a plan!

This is such a good video. I felt this battle immensely when i took salvia divinorum for the first time. Woa to say the least.

That salvia stuff has been popping up a lot.

Love your videos so insightful

If we all did exactly what we wanted to then it would be complete insanity. I would have sex with anyone I wanted to take what I want. You have to maintain yourself somewhat or your world will collapse.

I thought I made that point in the video.

Tomorrow, literally tomorrow will be my first day on lithium. For months my former psychiatrist, for reasons I still don't understand, treated me with a cocktail of Depracot, Clonopin, Seroquel etc. none of it worked, I got worse, my mania/depression got totally mixed and I felt so toxic I decided to quit. Then this summer I felt great, curious, adventurous...yup "manic" and then I dropped to depression. I've tried everything. By now I rather be a humanoid than 6 feet under, or homeless.

True, better to be medicated than homeless.
As for why your doctor gave you Lithium. Well, the others didn't work, so he's trying this. If this doesn't work, he'll give you another drug...they're just pissing in the dark.
On the plus side, Lithium is easier to withdraw off of in the future, if it comes to that. The negative is its hard on your kidneys and other organs.

If you join newlightbeings, please introduce something on primal therapy. I´d love to know more.
