I started a blog a couple weeks ago to showcase my art and also talk about my bipolar 1. I thought it might help for a couple of reasons. One of them was that I need more support, I need to communicate more with folks who share this disability. Last night I posted about the feelings I get when I'm manic or depressed. I researched a little about common feelings for these two things and was crazy how by the book I am with my craziness. Do you guys think it's really all biological or am i putting the crazy in me myself?

Heather, thank you for sharing that lovely picture in the March 2015 blog. I love the colors and somewhat surreal qualities of the picture.

Being on Psych Central has helped me communicate more with people. There are many people dealing with bipolar. I am a caregiver for someone trying to cope with BP. We all help each other and ourselves.

To me it is rarely about the person being sick biologically, although some are suffering in the body. I don't think people are creating the craziness. To me all the abnormalities or unique expressions of selfhood are an expression of the maturity or lack there of of the culture we live in. The culture encourages people to parent in certain ways that are contrary to the natural unfoldment of the stable individual. To me that is the leading cause of how we are in the situation we are in.

Getting out can require additional help or just a stubborn determination to meet our inner qualities and find out what is us and what is what we have been told we are.

Some people at PC will find a therapist will help them. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com

There are articles that go into more detail about coping

Looking at your blog and art. It might be best to drop the pills all together. The Doctor is on the right track.
