If one recognizes one's own intrinsic State as pure from the beginning and only temporarily obscured by impurities, and if one maintains the presence of this recognition without becoming distracted, then all the impurities dissolve. This is the essence of the Path-namkhai norbu. Why is there a legend about the descent of Christ into hell?

Flaming Sword User ID: 715153 Australia 07/20/2009 01:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am bipolar (manic-depressive) and am currently rapid cycling....mood switches severely several times a day. I don't want to take medicine and have not for years but I have also been in a kind of mild depression to neutral state for a long time up until now. What can I do naturally to snap out of it??? Feel like I'm going crazy and it's really wearing me down. Quoting: TriskeleHi, please ignorethe feeble. Ummm, u need to stabilize ur mind through metabolic means. In short; find your food. Its called soul food for good reason. Instill restitude amidst the rapid mind. Tou will be amazed actualkly how simplistically quantum we are. Blessings. Love. Understanding |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 200257 Canada 07/20/2009 01:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know a lot of bipolar friends....I have stayed up all night till 5 am to talk to them over the internet, just to try to help them, I know how you are suffering. I have panic disorder, and ptsd. I have been through it with friends when they get manic, the highs, and then the dreaded lows. Best thing I could tell you is, you are doing the right thing by reaching out to others for as much support as you can muster. Bipolar is nothing to be ashamed of, you are very brave to talk about it. Understanding your illness is key. Know this, tho. "This too, shall pass." Some people even made it popular to want to be bipolar, because they say the highs are worth the lows. I don't know if that can be true, but when my friends are on their highs, they have more fun than anyone I've ever known. But then, the lows get scary. See your doctor, good luck. |

The highs can be useful...I actually painted and shopped for, put together, and installed all new furnishings for 2 bedrooms today alone! However....on the flip side...I spent money I didn't have to do it (common in mania), and my highs include a lot of restlessness, irritability, and lack of sleep and when I do sleep then nightmares all night so...I really don't enjoy it too much. The lows suck too. I am just fortunate enough to know my body and know my cycles that I usually don't get in too deep or far before I see whats happening and reign myself back into some control. I was diagnosed almost 20 years ago and spent a lot of time in a hospital. What scares me is how they say that bipolar disorder is a progressive disease and actually damages your brain like Alzheimer's. |

Triskele (OP) User ID: 641067 United States 07/20/2009 01:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Im also bipolar ad have had the same experience.My moods were always generally really happy or adgitated. I have been living untreated medically my whole life, and enjoy the extremes of my personality, but latley ive been getting really depressed. I have this overwhelming shallow lonliness that takes me in. Its almost like a craving for something deeper and more meaningfull. I find walking outside helps. also meditating and being watchfull of your state of mind and alow the feeling to wash over you, but know it is not yours to hang on to. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 729907I've been feeling not right lately too! The funny thing is I also took myself off meds because I enjoyed the fact that I had such a strong personality both ways and enjoy the extremes and really really feeling my emotions BUT it is so easy to lose control and so many damaging things can happen before you even know what hit you. I fear that all the time I almost go into a black out state where in the end I look back and it seems like I am talking about someone else who did the things I actually did. Scary. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 200257There's gotta be lots about this in google Oh there are all kinds of things for all kinds of ailments... in fact, the cure to mostly everything exists in nature. I just tossed back some Frank's Red Hot (cayenne) because 1. I crave it and 2. it heals stuff. It really does. But as far as bipolar and depression, there are diets that you can go by and they can really help, so I have read. I encourage you all to Google... do a lot of Googling. Just enter "natural cures for" whatever ails you. Tons of resources and testimonials out there, people willing to share advice on the things that helped them. |

Quoting: TriskeleI don't want to seem like I'm trying to make anyone paranoid, because I definitely am not... and I wouldn't say anything that isn't true about what I think. I have known for a long time now that doctors and medication... they aren't the way to go. The effects of these medications that they're even putting children on now days... I hate to think of it, it's horrible. So glad you didn't receive electric shock. It is bad. Shock therapy was a big part of what killed actress Vivien Leigh, back in the day.

anonymous coward User ID: 571992 United States 07/20/2009 01:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let me guess. You also have men and women in your family who are discounting, belittling you, calling you crazy, making mean comments about you-otherwise known as "lobbing bombs" in your direction and then calling them jokes. You probably also have people who want you to help them achieve all their goals and desires, but who act like your ideas are just too stupid for reality. If this is now called bi-polar disorder instead of mental torture and abuse; then I imagine most women will be "bipolar" in very short order. I recommend having a screaming fucking fit and show the sorry mf'ers just how gd crazy your sorry ass can get. They don't seem to hear anything else, I know, I've tried. Good Luck, darling! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 729450 United States 07/20/2009 01:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am also bipolar. For 5 years the doctors had me on enough drugs to poison my system entirely. I had to have my blood tested weekly to make sure the levels weren't above toxic, my hair fell out, my short term memory evaporated. I still can't add two numbers together in my head. So, after much careful consideration, I dumped the majority of these drugs and opted for using only common Xanax /sparingly/ during the worst of these episodes. Instead I chose to add vitamin c, vitamin b12, vitamin d, natural fish oil, and careful use of caffeine to my regular everyday diet. The bipolar shifts occur much less often and tend to be much shorter. Stay away from junk food, enjoy a leafy green salad with some plain sour cream. Tastes weird, but sure makes me feel better. |
