We differ in so many ways Lia - but my experience with bp2 is so much like you say. But you do have the hallmark of bp - the need for less sleep. I do it sometimes during hypos but I'm wrecked after a couple days of it.

Another difference is that I grew up in the woods... my parents enjoyed my stories of my elf and faery friends. They encouraged me to find my own spirituality. I was doing goddess groups by age 16. Also with where I live, it's quite the norm to believe in magic, co-creation, energies to call on for help.

I know from looking at your pic, you have magic in you, you are not average. Nothing wrong with average - they often seem happier maybe because they are easier in a human body.

But being magic or fay or what you want to call it, doesn't mean youre not also human. it's still not easy being human and magic doesn't mean we're going to get what we want everytime.

Many different types or levels of spirits, I stay away from them in general, preferring to call on light of christ or goddess. Some of the recently deceased spirits you may see can be draining and needy, and I'm not trained to deal with that.

To me it's not psychotic. When I'm in a rage I start to feel psychotic, that scares me.
