Exception might be a strong desire to do something, achieve something, but a fear for risk. BP depression can be like that, especially post-mania, I believe. Those with BP-II may behave like this for longer periods. Taking fewer risks might be what distinguishes hypomania from mania.
__________________
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.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
