Is BP like a puzzle, and what does that mean?

It would mean it can be solved, at least. But what does that mean, exactly?

This is one in a series of seemingly random threads to see if we can combine our efforts to create a puzzle representing/simulating/of BP (a BP model, if you like) and whether we can solve it.

If hospitalisation means doing jigsaws most of the day, this might save you a trip to the hospital and allow you to feel productive and allow you to reach your potential.

It would be nice, right? It doesn't matter how long it takes because it might be a welcome distraction.

This may sound manically ambitious, but this time I'm confident I'm not manic (no, really!).

Another thread that was meant for this purpose was the states/stages thread you may have (it was wildly popular, so you can't have missed it ) and this is basically for the same reasons as I described here: to know what to do when, to recognise what type of state you're in and to know the best course of action or at least trying all that, so as to distract yourself, to not think crazy (optimistic, pessimistic or just plain crazy) thoughts which only make things worse.

It's very much like Buddhist (and similar) religious practice and Stoic philosophy. Those inspired psychology, most notably nowadays, mindfulness and DBT.

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.
