Kind of inclusive but I spent 3 summers in college as a camp counselor. I'm so glad I had that experience before the bipolar took over. Those 12 months (added together) are the best of my life. I was pretty manic for the 3rd summer though, just didn't know it.

What have you done when manic that you never would have normally?

Fail.

Do you consider mania psychotic?

It can be for me anyway. I just feel if I had "some" control over the mania then I wouldn't go so far over the line that I would need to be hospitalized.

Are you a nightowl because of bipolar?

I was a nightowl until this med cocktail. Now midnight is pretty late and 1 AM a really bad night. 6 months ago 3-6 AM was normal.

repeat: Do you use essential oils? Which ones?

Unable to decipher reality for delusion. I am usually right in between the two.

What is the best thing about your mania?

Mania: "Don't Stop Me, Now" by Queen (click on mania in my signature).

If you're in (the Republic of) Ireland, do you think the Brexit has united or divided Ireland?

How many people are on PC? I've met about 1 other person with BP when I've been IP. (I go to unit that is mostly people with depression. They love my manias.)

Do you worry obsessively about things that are unlikely to happen?
