Im going to throw this out there,

I have seen alot of people struggle and having issues with there life and it feeling flat or low.

I feel Bipolar is an addiction. Why would I say that ??????

Hypo ? or Manic? Omg the world is bright and shiny and full of joy , bunnies and puppies , some people dont get the happy stuff for long But some people zoom to the moon.

So Mania is great ...... Crash after ? Usually , But many people compare "baseline " to Hypo/Mania so sure baseline is going to feel flat to anyone... But there is no way to compare, everyone wants mania.

A person uses a street drug and everything is Fantastic ..... So they want to do it again ... So that is why I feel how mania vs baseline is the problem.

Yes people come outta a episode and get depressed that pretty typical .. and it takes time to dig yourself out of depression and find life again and hobbies and enjoy life with out the thrill of hypo/mania. There are some ways that can help someone break a depression down , Get pissed at Bipolar and kick claw and fight like hell to get that baseline.

Baseline is not bad ... Bipolar thinking is skewed to make us think we have to be up and thrilled with the world ,, But that is not real.

Hense why I say Bipolar hypo/mania is an addiction.
