Bipolar I mean. I am hugely impacted by the energies of my environment of people of the world. I absorb it and it diffuses throughout my entire bring
Whether it is dark or light
Maybe we are all just empaths, or energy healers that need to learn to focus our gifts and block the darkness

or maybe just energy vampires ...

I actually agree to an extent. I had a medium come out and cleanse my house I have another post about this labeled at paranormal experiences. She explained a lot to us and agreed that because my mind is more open the positive and negative is absorbed even more. We started a cleansing regimen of the home family and body and I can feel it working. But I also know when I'm late on a med so it helps to be aware of the energies but more in the light of focusing on the positive energy of life and being bipolar. If that makes sense.

No matter how small, a positive change deserves to be celebrated!

I agree too. It follows the line of interpreting my existence I have done.

I am very situationally affected. Like in crowds, hanging out with my friends or family... it can make me feel very anxious and hypomanic

Dr. Phelps who writes the wonderful www.psycheducation.org site made a huge impact on my understanding what was wrong with me years ago when he wrote that bipolar is a disorder of mood and energy. That describes my experience so much better than "mood disorder" and was one of the things on his site that made me realize "I am bipolar. OOHHH!".

Yes, changes in energy precede anything else for me, I think. It's just that energy let's you make the best of it and it reminds you of better times. Then it is like a positive feedback mechanism and you're off!

Lot's of it is a different type of appraisal we share. Call it deeper or broader. We see meaning in inexplicable ways and that influences our outlook.

I get manic in airports. Or hypo manic.
Then crash hard at my destination. Staying in bed.

Yes I believe it is often, but it is also complicated. We have layers to our energy bodies, physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. When an imbalance or damage is serious enough, it becomes called an illness. What you describe is feeling like an energy sponge. Most of us aren't raised learning how to protect our aura field, or to cleanse, heal, energize, calm it.
Humans are like quartz crystals, conduits of energy. Bipolar for whatever reason may be compared to a very strong crystal. Absorbing too much outer people's energy, it gives us anxiety, depression, heaviness, rage. Then at times we are misfiring out our energy all over the place, feeling woohoo, extra creative, hypersexual, light and free. My physical weight even fluctuates up or down during an episode.
Trying to just shut out the darkness is tricky, as it's still there whether we see it or not.
Thank you for this topic Jacky

I definitely absorb energy around me. I work in family practice medicine an there is unfortunately a lot of negative energy that I absorb because I work in a very poor socioeconomic area. Broken families, unemployment, lots of stressed out people all the time.

My energy is boosted when I am able to nurture my inner life; my thoughts, my art, reading, journaling, music. This replenishes me. This sometimes may trigger hypomanic episodes....not sure, my husband thinks so and he may be right. We'll see what my psychiatrist thinks.
