I'm one of those exceedingly lucky fuckers.
I have manic runs, where I get a whole shitload of stuff accomplished and drill down into unbelievable detail. But I never have the depressive side of it. I get angry and pissed off of course, but it's never a poor me, life is so unfair bullshit. But I'm definitely down for celebrating a World Bipolar Day.
Some may characterize my actions as obsession... I prefer the term passion.

There were originally 2 types of BPD. I think there are about 7 now. LOL
One was just manic and the other was manic and depressive.
Would have been awesome to have the one and not the other.
Been a long tough fucking life fighting this shit. Never used the meds. Tried some and they sucked. Fought with love and prayers. I'm 70 now and it's almost over. LOL
I still feel like everyone else is going in slow motion. LOL

Respect.
I know exactly how you feel. Harley always tells me I'm _overwhelming_ with the amount of information I present to people, especially those helpful phone representatives who are just here to help.
Like me you are an obsessed nerve ending....I'm one of those exceedingly lucky fuckers.

yeah, that would have kept Robin Williams with us for a few more years...he was wired just a "little" too tight.

It's why I disengaged from your Old Farts thread, I was fucking up the vibe.
Occasionally... I can be succinct.

My whole family had this shit. I have taken meds for this and the side effects were worse.
Today the fact that I know I have it helps me deal with it.
But once in a great moon I get a little left of center....I feel terrible the next day....ask Big.....

I understand how polarizing I can be.
But I'm also a sensitive/empath type, so I pick up on vibes and don't like to rock the boat and make others seasick.
Understood, but you are among friends and we understand. You can't hide from this terrible affliction....we learn to live with it. I have it bad and deal with it.I understand how polarizing I can be.

In some ways it has helped me in life....I am a perfectionist to the point of being anal. Everything has it's place and I won't stop until things are perfect....
I micro manage to the point of being obsessed.
I have always said we manics do everything 10x better and 10x faster than the normies. This was great when I was running my own business and could work 14 hours a day without a problem. Not so great when I went through my 'cocaine days' and did 10x more coke than everyone else. LOL
I will testify to that. ha ha! Us crazy fk's are all alike.. Same way with my business. Never slept....would lay awake all night trying to think of ways to make things run better and make more $$.

I've got a bizarre combo of manic without the severely depressive, mild to moderate OCD, didn't realize it until recently but had ADHD when I was a kid (looking at my report cards now) that has spilled over into my adult life, not to mention a _very_ good case of non-combative PTSD.
Other than that, I'm fine!
And didn't mean to be dismissive / inconsiderate of those having to deal with the severely depressive side of things. I realize/know how lucky I am.
That's just who I am and how I express myself, quite matter of fact, I meant no disrespect.
If society would have treated us as if we have a gift instead of a disease, it would have worked out way better. They always wanted me to be like the 'other' kids. Fuck those kids. They go in slow motion. LOL
Small wonder I was bored in school. It's not that I was smarter than the other kids. I just did everything a lot faster. I can remember in high school English Lit class reading Huckleberry Finn. The teacher would say, "Class, for tonight's homework read pages 13 through 22".
WTF!!!!! I read the entire book in 3 hours and from then on, class bored me.
This is so funny, I might actually post a picture of it..... I have every school report card from Kindergarten through college. On my second grade report card, I got an "Unsatisfactory" in behavior. In the margin of the report card the teacher wrote, "Won't stop talking in class". LMAO No shit, lady. I'm fucking MANIC!!! LOL
They should have put us in a special class where we could excel at our own rate instead of being held back by the other kids.
The most sad part is, if a kid is manic today, they drug the shit out of them until they are shitass stupid. I weep for the future.
Kudos to all of us who have this terrible disease and have tolerated those who do not. LOL
