Your Welcome ...

One thing I do think plays a part to remember depressive episode maybe more so..... is because Hypo/Mania is just freaking fun and the world is bright and shiny, Colors talk to us, Puppy and kittens, We are up up up and can do amazing things ( maybe they aren't but we sure think they are)

Often Bipolar brains have a tendency to "forget" the bad stuff, Depression is crushing, so we often forget how long we have been in its hellish box.. Which I think is something that Bipolar is kind to us, We forget some of the depressive hell.

I was dealing with a rough depression 5-6 years ago, I still was going about my daily stuff, but nothing made me laugh or smile. I felt hopeless and just didnt give a damn.. Well as I started to pull out of it, while seeing my T he said there it is a half a smile!!! I said so what.. He told me I had been in that depression about 5 months, I had no clue, honestly felt like 4 maybe 5 weeks..

So in some ways there is kindness in the Bipolar we deal with.
