If you had the chance to go back in time before your BP started and a BP vampire met you in a dark, damp alley whilst wearing a cape that could give you the gift/curse of BP in one bite (creativity and madness) getting absorbed in your bloodstream from that bite would you have rather it be that you never met that vampire. Or is BP you? A part of you?

I like how you tell us the vampire is wearing a cape...
As much as I hate being depressed, I'd have to keep it. I wouldn't be where I am today without those periods of high productivity. If it was possible to kill the vampire and maybe harvest some kind of cure...I'd try to do that... Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk |

There are some good things about BP - I've experienced a wider range of emotions and intensity than most people, which I like. But, overall BP has made my life painful and difficult. It's taken a lot away from me, and it makes every little thing a struggle. So no to the vampire.

Hmmm I don't know, I was creative and more productive before I was diagnosed but maybe was just untreated, and un diagnosed? Tough call.
I'd rather go back to when I was diagnosed, knowing what I know now and have the courage to tell well meaning docs NO, to a multitude of AD and other bad drugs.

No, no, no. I would give being mentally ill away in a flash. I believe my life would have been so much less painful, and so much more productive.

The job opportunities that have come my way, where some actually boggled my mind. But I had to turn them all down because I knew I was not stable enough to handle those very demanding job opportunities. Looking back, maybe I should of taken a chance or two?
So since it has limited me very much in life, I would say no.

I'd have to pass. I would rather have stable moods. The cape was a nice touch
