Eve...Finally, someone who speaks the same language.<br />Ever had a boss tell you "being sad isn't a problem?" Or had a lover give up on you?<br />In college, I got a job during a calm period. When I hit a low, I told the boss I had the flu and managed to keep the job for a few more months like that. But when a manic episode hit, I found myself two states away with no job and very angry professors.3xEMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08042388037905311105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075597270957694606.post-88615964409912905912009-09-28T12:38:19.754-07:002009-09-28T12:38:19.754-07:00I like the concept of defining bipolar disorder wi...I like the concept of defining bipolar disorder with false moods. It's so true. <br /><br />I can also relate to losing touch with one's issues when feeling good. That's why I think it's a good thing to keep notes when we're not feeling good so when we do get to the therapist we can reference those notes. I used to go to the therapist when I was manic and tell her I'm doing great, then I'd crash and she'd have no idea.<br /><br />I agree with you that there is no middle ground, but it's also important to remember that even seemingly normal people don't really have a "normal."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02293171530002530817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075597270957694606.post-30761081949127459682009-09-28T03:36:26.921-07:002009-09-28T03:36:26.921-07:00I only received my diagnosis recently but with hin...I only received my diagnosis recently but with hindsight have displayed bipolar symptoms probably since I was a child. So just to say - I totally agree about 'normality'. The concept for someone with bipolar just doesn't, in my view, exist.<br /><br />I also hear what you're saying about talking yourself into moods. I can't do it for good moods, but I'm very skilled at the bad mood bit :-/<br /><br />Anyway, I hope this is just a blip for you. It's great to hear that you are, in the main, stable, and I hope that returns for you as soon as possible.<br /><br />Take care of yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
