hey thankyou as well ......how cool to make sense!!...thats a bit like Halleys comet...happens every 76 years...
yeah I think bipolar has such opposing mental forces that to make sense of it verbally from the inside...have to operate on a completely different channel...thats tuned into the outside somehow
metaphors and analogies are helpful for sure.

...so everything isn't 'something'

more 'like' everything ends up "like" something else...

one of the most basic metaphors for suffering is..."hey I feel like crap!"
I can never give a straight answer to any personal question. ....

never good or bad or ok or something right here ....always "well see, it's like something else?"

sure makes it paralysing to communicate on the spot.

Pegs thats a great result...got you chuckling...I wonder what you were chuckling "like?"...hehe
