I would just like to educate everyone here about my very rare diagnosis of Eggpolar Disorder. It apparently has something to do with the malfunction of Eggotonin and perhaps Yolk-epinephrine, but I am not sure if this is true or just a way for Big Egg Farma to convince me that their product is what I need.

About two years ago I began to "crack," and felt like I was stuck in this shell around me. In the past few months I began to take what is called membrane stabilizers. They're supposed to help protect your yellow and white matter in your brain. I'm told that they can help you out when it feels like your mind is hard boiled or like it's leaking out because someone popped a hole in it and you're an empty shell. It's very scary when it feels like your mind has been set on fire as though you were dropped on a skillet that no one bothered to oil, so when you get scraped off you might lose a part of yourself. It's so hard to not feel like the bad egg in the bunch.

I really wish the stabilizers could always kept me sunny side up because I don't want anyone to feel like they're walking on egg shells for me. Likewise, they don't completely help me turn over easy when I'm trying to sleep. But they do help me from feeling like my thoughts are scrambled and I'm not so paranoid I think that I am being poached.

But the thing with medeggcation, sometimes you gotta go organic and you just can't put all your eggs in one basket for it. What came first? The illness or the eggs?

I'm just trying to see how everything will cook up from here. I have a dozen problems to fix, but you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. I'm just happy I have some close people in my life to egg me on.

((A little background on this joke:

During one night of drinking I woke my boyfriend and asked him if he wanted any eggs. I insisted that I was going to make six no matter what and it annoyed him to no end. The next morning I teased him about six eggs again and knew from then on out I could never stop picking on him about it. Since then it has been constant egg jokes, puns, rhymes, even poems, ridiculousness...I try to find as many excuses to talk about eggs and the number 6.

This is just what I happened to come up with today, after I made a pun on "Bipolar" by saying I was "Sixpolar" instead. ))

i'm not sure how to take this..

part of me wants to go look it up, but at the same time.. i dunno.

let me reread it

LOL, that's pretty funny.

Cute humor Odee, puts me in the mood for an Easter egg hunt

Hilarious, Odee. And what an excellent analogy! Loved it.

I may never eat another fried egg without thinking of you and the whole agenda of
bipolar illness and chemistry imbalance, not to mention what meds can do to us as
well as for us.

Thanks so much for this.

Hahahahaha!!! Love it!!

I love it Odee very funny read, thanks

[diminishing soul]

Thanks Odee, That was eggsactly what I needed! Soooo funny! Eggcellent, keep it up.

[diminishing soul]

Maybe it's not eggpolar. With your obsession w/eggs, it sounds to me like you have Eggsessive Compulsive Disorder. lol

[AeonDM]

I think my other head has eggpolar disorder. It spills white under certain circumstances. I think I will ask eggdoc to prescribe membrane stabilizers.

[manicminer]

Very clever. Made me smile. Thanks Odee

Thanks, I like this. It's always good to sometimes take a big step back (whether this is your intention or not) and turn what we keep being told by psychiatrists and research on its head. You make it all sound rather ridiculous, and sometimes I just think it is -but that's just my mood right now. Thanks!

Thanks guys! And You're Welcome.

The "Eggpolar/Sixpolar" started as a joke, but when I was done fleshing it out it actually became an analogy that meant quite a bit to me. It was all about silly puns but I guess something more thoughtful found its way through.

Ah, Odee, you're a good egg.
