I wish. Sometimes I treat myself like one. Does that count?

Favorite tool of self destruction?

I try to find new ones all the time .

Do you get extremely interested in random ideas, spend hours researching them and then have nothing to do with the knowledge?

Hugging is for Americans.

What's the most important lesson you've learned about BP?

BP has no mercy. It comes and goes and wreaks havoc as it pleases.

If you could "exchange" BP for any other mental illness, would you? Which one?

Being stuck forever. Just not being able to do certain essential things, not surviving without support. I'd just accept the worst. Being alive but caged. It's the schizo part, not the mania part (mania is the only time I'm actually "productive", allowing me to escape my invisible prison; it's negative symptoms and they just remove so much positive, any normal desires have been removed from my existence, I wish for severe depression so I can desire, to want something, fighting it and wanting relief without the destruction that mania causes which I fear as much as the prospect of staying in this state where I slowly wither away).

Schizophrenia... seriously!?

Who else thinks they'd prefer schizophrenia (to summarise: you are less likely to die but more likely to be as good as dead, pretty much, but by all means, convince me BP is worse) and why?

Ok, more neutral question: do you think we live in an unhealthy society and why?

most deffenetly

not only the news, but kids these days too.. they see something on tv, or something in the street, and then copy it and think it's right (and the mothers don't seem to correct them)

so you end up with 2 or 3 year olds swearing and thinking it's cool to stay up late watching horror movies/ adult stuff like southpark on tv

then their's the overuse of mental health words.. someone will do something and someone will say something like, oh.. they're bipolar, they're OCD.. when in actual fact what they've just done is a 1 off.

hmm

the world is certainly not perfect. lol

what is your most treasured posession

My e-cigarette, at the moment. But there are some flash drives and hard drives which I really don't want to lose. All my manic ideas/plans are on those.

Do you have a formal thought disorder?

Trileptal. All that anger and hatred disappeared. That type of moody behavior was my worst enemy.

What's your go to coping skill for depression? Good or bad.

I don't get depressed that often at all but I usually get cathartic with music and try to sing through it.

What was a hallucination from your childhood?

Yes (I think; I'm not gonna try to remember).

It would be secondary: depression can cause hallucinations. But everyone can experience hallucinations.

Hallucinations not part of mania/psychosis I experience when there are no people around. It's typical: too little stimulation (which is relative).

Have you ever experienced or met someone who had alogia, an inability to and unawareness of saying the words you mean, so that people have a hard time understanding what you're saying, or anything like it (maybe just more like dyslexia; less severe)?
