Passion takes many forms … I know I have had and lost them …
In the beginning everything was a passion , 100% of effort was required in every venture , be it a ball game or working around the house …
As a teenager passion shifted to cars and speed … faster was never enough …
Guns .. could never have enough …

Twentyish found love … passion became very physical .. mental .. all consuming ..
Religion consumed every inch of passion there was in me ..
Work became a calling , the most consuming passion I had ever felt .. I was making a difference …

Speed , guns , physical , mental , religion all burned brightly then went out … only work survived …

then that one day in 2012 … a single point in time , a single event changed my life completely ... my passion for work went out … my world crumbled … panic and meds was the only path I could find to survive … those same meds that drove me inpatient …

four long years filled full of pills have allowed the panic to be over come , but the passion has never returned … there is no passion of any kind left …
mood flating drugs … just life burning out I may never know …

all was black … then came “soon-kyu “ … I knew it would not last but my god it felt so good … passion … clutching at straws I Know … but passion … but so far away .. out of reach ...
then that light dimmed.....

my “manic” girl I found …. passion … hope … reachable … dare I say lust … fear … excitement … all were there … for the first time since before that day in 2012 …

My friends here rightly so put that light out … it would hurt others too much … it would distroy my family …

so I dimmed that light myself … with this realization I could never have passion again without hurting others I decided to stop trying …

Can you live without passion … maybe ... but I no longer want too … it's just a matter of time now …

Tigger .

I'm trying to figure out how to get mine back or what to do if I can't have it. I hope you can find passion that doesn't burn out. Im not sure that kind of passion exists, but as far as i can tell its the only kind worth striving for. Let us know if you have success. Thanks for the post.

Psych Meds drown my passion. For my art. Creativity.
Desire for men. ( well not completely.
Passion for peace in the world.

Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand

I still have passion. Would never want to live without it.

I found the constant in all life's passionate turmoil: me and others. My passion is to work on knowing myself in relation to others. Mania lets me see what unites us. Depression lets me realise what doesn't, what divides us. Both let me see what really defines us and how that affects our perceptions.
__________________
Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
