HIGH EVERYBODY :P

about me, my name is Tyler and like the rest of you have struggled with bipolar disorder.

my disorder is a little different as I experience just the highs hypomania/mania leading into insomnia/agoraphobia etc etc.

this illness can be cruel, however with not experiencing lows I am in a 2-5% of the bp population.

what I can tell you is this, the increase in serotonin... blocking the dopamine receptor is pretty much like getting high for free... my creativity excels beautifully however instability from duration is consequential.

2012 I took a year off work to write, I have been a writer for a life time, like many of you I am sure we got some great poets here!

This is not in the form of advertising... this is me like you, and this novella is fiction for the purpose of allowance. I'm not going to tell you what works for this disorder or what doesn't we'll leave that up to your team.

I can cure this disorder in myself under circumstance with neurological control wait I didn't say that ok... routine, we have thought patterns and some think from the left or right side, and some like myself can think from both I bridge and see 3... we have our center point.

I'm worried if I post a link my writing above gets deleted, and I would like to stick around and get to know some of you and share experiences to help.

bipolar apple... digital is hard on the eyes it activates this disorder go physical

[redbandit]

You have bipolar disorder and don't have the lows?? What is that like? Must be strange

[gayleggg]

Wish I didn't have the lows, which is mainly what I have. Glad to have you hear.

I'm in an exceptionally paranoid place today, so I read this post as kind of spammy with a touch self-promotion.

But in the off chance I'm wrong...

I don't understand how it can be bipolar without the lows... but that must be nice. I mean, depending. Sometimes the highs can be a ***** too.

[lateralminds]

no I kid you not....... I have experienced high's to the degree of understanding. Picture this a guy go's to the gym and works out, well the brain is a muscle as well. The problem with just experiencing highs is the brain never wants to rest, it craves activity, and to the point of heightened sexual libido... major problem. To many dates, to many gf's that don't work out as I get too anxious right. So yes it's like having cocaine accessible all the time.

I am here to hang out not promote, I have studied this disorder, and every psychiatrist I have seen in 15 years whether they have doctoral etc. it wouldn't matter my mind acts so quick, well call cognitive insight giving me and intuitive approach to reality almost psychic like.

Bipolar's are the strongest minds in the world because they exceed the limit of cognitional balance.

Think of a wave, and think of a bipolar wave much larger. well it starts with cognitive distortions giving you depression. yes I too had this in the beginning, I was able to create an algorithm for my understanding to use repression in retrospect of looking within "introspection"

now, I can tell you what will help you as I know more than any one I have spoken too in the field... yes, I have been in isolation rooms for many times? over different years. Now to understand that would be... a quota? a case study? a Canadian mental health system that had me marked for a drug call Olanzapine, I was one of the first to be administered this.

it was crucial for them to keep me on it for statistical analysis, I was marked.

now believing I was bipolar is the other question, being told by everyone I know when I made a mistake..... "Are you taking your Pills?"

the mind works by repetition, I have a photographic memory by repetition without interest in my mind these things are forgotten.... retracing the events creates the imagery and the event relived.

The toughest thing for bipolar is looking for balance.

I will tell you this, think of 3

a tight rope walker perhaps 1 step at a time, a center point and 1 step from where he came from... he wants to move forward.

so 3 tiles on your floor.

balance in the middle. now step forward no problem, step backwards no problem. step on in the right direction of your desire, very well.

no the problem is too quickly, imagine if that tight rope walker went quick now we have the fall. depression

so hypomania.... good thing happened in your day, you feel good it keeps building your high and manic.

you end up thinking too much about oviously your neurons are firing faster.... you find the mistake, you revolve it, and crash.

mania is different as mania you hallucinate reality with extreme focus and are feeling much more intelligent than any one else, and in all sense some of us in this condition cannot be talked down as connection to thought, senses, having an understanding of all your surroundings... you have a huge ego.

mistake is you believe you can do things that are outside of your self. Celebrity status' I like to call it.

now too maintain, you have a long trip.... that in the end costs you money, job, gf, possibly wife, friends, family,

I've been thru all this.

bipolar can be controlled and this is how if you read this far....

"ACTIVATING THE MIND"
-is the mistake

relaxing the mind how does that happen when it wanders like it does... we know this!

is a transfer from mind to body!

I can tell you, I don't proof read what I wrote above I speak the truth.

Vitamin B100 complex... handles the stress of the disorder
Vitamin D3... 1000iu 3-4 + x a day when needed
Fish in Diet... look at statistics, people who live near the sea and eat fish have little to no bipolar or depression rate. so.....

omega 3/6/9/ by flax, instead of the fish oils ...fish oils have inconsistency and that's not good flax doesn't

now for pharmaceutical
have a class 3 Adavan/clonazepam that will stop your mind from racing and relax you

TRANSFER MIND TO BODY

WORKOUT!!!! and you clear your mind, relieving the tension upstairs... you will have a clear mind after the workout. with routine, you help your day and disorder.. routine is very important.

if you feel toxic and quite ill, buy lemons and put them in your water to flush the imbalance of toxins. hell drink lots of water,

NEGATIVE SELF IMAGE

forget the past, it has past!!!! you can't change it! don't think abut the what if onwards though patterns... be present, be grounded.

-look at your place, and change it, looking at the same things every day will contribute to depression! you will have fun changing things.

like I said if there are things in your house that link thoughts to a past you don't need to think about... REMOVE THEM... Bipolar's have better senses than other people, we have more active minds... like I said we hit the gym upstairs.

I will leave it at that... I believe I wrote allot , im here to talk, and I too have taken many medications, and had suicide attempts, brought back to life once and a mindset I have developed gives me a fresh start every day by conditioning to repress.

renew, look at 1 day at a time, loos the rock pack in training cause you got what it takes.... ill stick around and chat, I said I cured bipolar disorder and my health care system got very interested in me very fast... I have more answers, I shared some

[redbandit]

I hope this isn't rude, but do you need meds to be stable? Meds don't help me much, I've tried supplements too.
Its kool to meet someone who has recovered

[lawrenman]

I agree with most you said. For this purpose I will write like you...a bit fluid but just a bit more under control and try not to let my thoughts get too spread out.

As I understand you are quite intelligent. You will gain a lot of knowledge from reading this. Use it for good.

Human beings are constantly telling eachother that they should not do something. Its mostly a survival technique. If you watch Stan Lee's Superhumans you quickly realize that humans can step beyond the bounds given to them just by practice or keen training. No one can control you. You control you.

Now some mania thoughts...I believe that that ADD is becoming more prevalent because of the bombardment of radio/cell/antenna waves. Humans are not used to dealing with so much interaction with outside forces on their brain waves. Its helping people in some ways in that their mind is more active. However, its making it harder for humans to truly be creative and think outside the box. We become parrots copying eachothers ideas because its so damn hard to concentrate.

More mania thoughts...I believe the human mind can control nature. I believe a mind is powerful enough to destroy the world as we know it. Not by making some chemical bomb, atomic whatever. By influence of brain waves. We make tools to use those brain waves right now. But there is going to become a time when those tools will be overtaken by simple well-tuned thought. I am not sure, but I have a feeling my thoughts may have affected weather some...I'm not totally denouncing it as a delusional thought yet because I haven't worked out the particulars.

During my manic phase I was able to actively control my blood pressure and heart rate. I could feel chemicals interacting with my mind/body especially cleaning chemicals in the air after my room was "cleaned". I could taste how purified the water was and if contaminated air was interacting. I could sense A Wii game console affecting my brain waves and it gave me a headache. The last place you should be if you are manic is in a "mental hopistal". The only way they can control you there is thru drugs and some force. If you are like me, naturally not a fighter and would like to be left alone, you will not be burdensome even when manic although many needs will increase. But those folks that need a cig break will get theirs. And when they prick you with needles for your blood even though they can't find the damn vein they will stick prick you till they get their damn blood sample.

The thoughts I had during my first manic episode and shortly after remain vivid in my memory. I believe I had a clear explanation for the role of spirituality and how a human could live on past their death affecting the world around them. I believe I can at some point tackle the laws of gravity if given enough time to think about it while manic in a controlled manner.

However, like any drug, Mania requires self-control above all else to control. You can take all the drugs in the world and eat/workout properly. However, it won't stop you from messing up if you do not have proper self-control. That is why P-Doc's make so much money. Most people just are unable to fully control themselves.

Personally I am a natural risk taker. I thrive on it. So no drugs for me. I'm taking fish oil. I'm going back to the gym because I like to be strong. I am eating like the average american.

I'm working on getting my self a bit more amped just so I can be more productive and also contribute more to society.

I think I'm done now...not because I want to be but because I have to be

One other thing...when I am manic. My body heals from injury faster. I believe the mind will attempt to heal body parts during a manic episode if you let it. My best guess is Adrian Peterson is manic. I mean look at the way he runs. He runs without fear. He recovered from his injury faster than most people. When you listen to him he's always talking about how blessed he is. He's saying he will break the career rushing record.

I believe him. Only a manic could withstand the sort of punishment he puts on his body.

Welcome! I get where you are coming from. I do get lows, but get the highs and mixed. My boyfriend also has bipolar 1 and only had "highs" for years...he has had depressive episodes in the last year. But he was on the high end of the spectrum for a long time. Anyways, welcome and hope you hang out!

Thanks for sharing your experience, it was insightful and resonated with me.

This has me motivated to work out more and transfer more of my mental energy into physical energy, I'm also going to focus on getting more omegas. I'm searching for balance and a technique to pull myself from deep depression without becoming manic.

That's great news we work hard on this ticker of ours and vitamin D3 fights depression and 5-htp increases serotonin as well, now to not go too high is where I said salts came in however, omegas for myself too I went 8 months feeling my best on omegas, just gotta remember there not enough alone.

The brain is a muscle and your neutrons fire faster giving growth, too quick is imbalanced. Always keep close with your team before any decisions.

Best of all

Glad to know that

[justbeingme80]

thanks for your post. Maybe I'm having an off day, but I find your posts a little confusing?? lol

[r010159]

They are a bit confusing to me too. Isn't it nice when one is a little manic?

[lateralminds]

Confusing to me too, INdeed.

I wrote a novella that people find confusing too, the sharp thing is The Bipolar Apple is a healing book, chaptered Mind, Body, Spirit, Soul.

What makes it different is it shows the basics of surviving each chapter, now that was difficult. Good read tho
