It really does suck. Maybe one day they will find a cure but until then we have to suffer.

Personally I just don't think there will be a cure any time soon. There is the thing-E in our brains that is different, and I can see medications psychically changing the brain matter. If I am right, there are signals being sent across to other ports of entry, and they just do not match up very well. Now doesn't this show just how stupid I am. What the hell is a thing-E anyway.

Yeah tipper agreed that "soon" part is subjective or relative to the eye of the beholder I think. I can stay optimistic cos that is what they say .... in our lifetime.....but I'm not going to hang around waiting for something that might happen in my lifetime I'm just going to go and make the most of what I've got now incase it doesn't happen

Yeah what's an thing-E

True true true sorry I didn't realise that until you pointed it out.

As an afterthought, if anything, Baby G, I hope that perhaps some of what we say might make you realise that whilst we all think personal things about bipolar and what it means for us and how it influences our lives, some aspects we might relate to one another.

Whilst it may feel very much like an "alone" disorder if we don't know too many people / if any people who share this diagnosis in real life, it helps to know that here at Psych Central, most of the time, people here can relate somewhat, whether it's symptoms of depression you're posting about to symptoms and consequences of mania / hypomania you post about at some stage.

Sorry if I jumped this thread.
Thanks for this!

Oh guys, no apologies needed! Made me smile to see you all jumping in and having your say. I wrote to half reach out to someone who could relate and partly just to get that thought out in the open. It is lonely. You do it on your own.

On the thoughts about finding a "cure", I believe its too much of a heterogeneous of a disorder for it to be as simple as just finding a cure. There are too many fragments. We are all preciously fragile dolls who have been dropped on a concrete floor to be shattered in to a million pieces.

I like it described as a heterogeneous disorder. Well said.

Yup - I totally agree with this part:

"There are too many fragment."

Bipolar disorder hurts... but.... I have made new friends who understand me better than anyone ever has... lonely? Yes. But... no. I get more hugs here than anywhere else. So, bipolar disorder is the source of many many hugs.
