I love being manic because I can accomplish so many things almost with no effort
however when I swing low, I'm good for nothing. Today I feel like crap.

You and me both my friend. Hugs.

[BPQuestions]

I completely understand!

[~Christina]

I hear ya ! It’s just part of the bipolar roller coaster.

Sucks at times

Sympathy and virtual hugs

I know the feeling all too well my friend. That's why we all have each other here to support each other and ride those bipolar waves together. (((HUGS)))

I wish I was not Bipolar. I have lost allot in my life over this. I want to be at my baseline for the rest of my life. I know this will not happen. There is also the side effects of meds. I may have a permanent tremor in my hands. So I understand what is being said here.

I very much wish I didn't have bipolar. But I can't dwell on that. I can only go forward. If I look back and wish or pray for a miracle, I might not get going again.

I feel the same way. I really hate having bipolar, especially when I have to face the fact I'm going to be on meds forever .. and it's something I can't completely control. Sucks. But I also, just have to accept that I'm different from others and keep in mind that my bipolar does not define who I am. That's what helps me push on each day.

[Zigy]

Me too. Depressed for nearly too years now. Last manic episode cost me a lot of money though

[tecomsin]

I haven't seen any upside to having bipolar. It sucks.

[xRavenx]

Coming down from being in a high state is very difficult to deal with and so is this whole condition. You're not alone.

[Pookyl]

I hate having Bipolar also.
Ironically, my kids think I’m a more relaxed, fun mum since Bipolar. Go figure.

[emgreen]

I try to accept my fate as best I can. There are worse things that having BP...pancreatic cancer, Parkinson's disease, etc. Sure...I wish I didn't have it, but if wishes were horses then beggars would ride.

I wish I wasn't Bipolar too. I have lost some friends and even some family members because of my Bipolar depression and also when manic.

I thought I was at baseline the last couple of weeks. But, I have picked fights (arguments) on social media and even with one of my grown daughters. I lost my best friend over it. So yeah, I guess I'm manic. I have to wait until next Wednesday to see my Psych ARNP. I have grounded myself from social media for a week. One of my other daughters went in and changed my password so I will be able to remain honest about my commitment. Now I am having a bit of withdrawal from not going on it. But, guess what? I've discovered there are these things called books. If you open them up they have pages with words. And, if you read those words they tell a story! Wow! I'm telling this tongue in cheek but it's really nice not to be distracted by my phone "dinging" to tell me I have a message that I have no business responding too. The book is good. I will get through this "sabbatical" if you will and I will be the better for it. As for losing my friend I hope, with time, that she will forgive me. Right now I don't know.

Yeah. The grand ride of mania is awesome. I miss the 'me' I was when going through it. I even consider myself lucky for the experiences.

But boy, the depression hits and life seems over.

[Sunflower123]

Sending big hugs.

I wish I wasn't bipolar either, but then I wish I didn't have other things too. Part of the great game called life, I suppose.
