After having listened to a bipolar justify his problems for years and
years...it became clear that he had diametrically conflicting desires and
denied having half of them....the half that he couldn't justify, but
obviously still pursued fulfillment of.
He was a GENIUS that wanted to be a bum, but his ego wouldn't allow it.
I kept telling him that so long as he wasn't burden, being a bum needs
no justification..and not being a burden takes very little effort if you
are willing to live what you want, the way it is.
He COULD "move the world" couldn't get over the idea that he SHOULD, but
didn't want to...so, every time he went down that path and got somewhere,
he'd trip himself up and feel guilty about it, then blame someone or
something else for falling.
Feeling guilty is depressing and blame does nothing.
He became addicted to the depression chemicals he justified into being
and sought the alcohol analog to keep himself there, believing he *should
be* stable...one way or the other...falling victim to his own absolutism.
He went to the-rapist a lot, but chose the back end of the mind
f*ck...pills.
Mental imbalance causes chemical imbalance.
Just owning your own "see saw" without judgement... helps a bunch.
No one is not conflicted.
A Bipolar believes he shouldn't be, splits himself in two and goes for
both absolutes in turns.
In that guys case, his heart eventually exploded.
Anti whatever drugs can serve as a "book mark this page" grounding point
to remind you what *good* feels like.
Beyond that, they just enable denial and delay.
Lookie. Humans are CRAZY.
It's OK to be one and be uncertain who you are and what you want.
That's called "normal"
My friend thought he had to be sane, that someone else got to define
what that was..... and he didn't like that definition.
I was headed that way, but chose unreasonable happiness as a means to
see the humor in conflict.
By brain chemistry followed right along as I did completely pointless
things to prove to me that I didn't need to make sense to myself.
Specifically..Having not eaten or slept in 3 days and having no desire to
stay alive, couldn't find any reasons anywhere....CRAWLED to the mail box
to check the mail on Sunday, 4 times.
It's a pretty long muddy driveway and such a ridiculous thing to do,
that I just HAD to laugh. [Still laughing 12 years later ]
"Book mark that page"
What ...me SERIOUS?
....go bang your head on a wall till you can't stop laughing at how dumb
you are.
Better yet, go bash your brains out on a big fluffy pillow and don't
stop till you do.
Let me guess:
This Bipolar person is VERY intelligent.
Well
I AM smart enough to be EXACTLY that stupid.
..NOT qualified to know what I want...half manic will do.
Wing it and see what happens.
Since ANYTHING can be justified, complete opposites CAN be, equally
reasonable.
It doesn't matter which you choose to enhance with illogic, both
directions operate the same way.
..and you don't have to BE there, to travel.
Ya never know where you're going, anyhow.
All ya ever got is the way you walk..
What you can't freekin know, doesn't freekin matter.
"This" sucks...means... I believe I know where I am.
Isn't what you REALLY want, what you DON'T know?
Then not knowing where you're going, is the way there.
.....so stick one foot in your pocket and get going.
The dumber it "looks", the better it'll work to walk away from your
previous smart.
"THIS"

the only thing I can think of is therapy in order for her to learn how
to live with her disorder more easily and I think a good idea would be
for your friend to inform himself what to expect from this disorder and
also how to live with it maybe with a therapist as well.
I would strongly recommend Gestalt therapy, I think it is a very
realistic and earth bound therapy...

Someone I know has started dating a girl with bipolar disorder. Does
anyone know of anything natural or holistic that might help or cure?
Thanks,
Marshall
