Only in reference to oneself I hope. Or to unite us, but never to divide us.

We are just insanely great. But maybe we are somewhat torn between those who really see themselves as "comfortably broken" as Miguel'smom so eloquently put it and those that see themselves as almost or completely normal except for those severe depressions and sometimes feeling really great.

It has made manic-depression more accepted, but it made people on the fringes maybe feel less accepted sometimes. I don't know, maybe not.

Just wanted to make something explicit which might be felt by others, but I am not sure whether it is true.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
