Interesting...when my paranoia was in full force, before I went on my AP, I though work was setting me up to take a huge fall.
I haven't been dx'ed as BP, still figuring it out, but my paranoia's considered one of my BP "elements." It can get bad.
I have periods where I write and write and write...and then nothing at all, for months. It kinda sucks, I hate the down period without the motivation to write.
I also get hypersexual. But I get it and sometimes act on it in certain ways, and shouldn't because I'm in a relationship. And yes, it does make me feel alive.
Sometimes traumas do trigger BP, though. But, regardless, we want to keep you here so please stay.
