Thanks all for the dam fine advice. Especially to you Rob and to Foreign. I was expecting this thread to get all stoopid with jokes about mania an self medication. It's nice to know theres some others out there living a life with a finger raised to this condition and taking life into there hands and living a life they choose to rather than one that is at the beck and call of this dark gift. I still respect the fact that for all those Bi-polar I have met only one has ever told me she would let it go and led a "normal life" if she was given the option. I would by lying If I said that part of me leaving the meds behind wasn't largely because I missed riding the highs of mania. Just the waking up and feeling like your heart is going to explode with all the beauty of everything on this crazy planet, the greatly elevated levels of creativity and ability to work with an insane output without thinking about sleep. Though with the highs come the dirty lows and I sure as hell don't miss the darkness that they bring. I think I will def look into meditation thanks Rob and try and get back to Kung fu as that used to balance me out no end. Thanks all for sharing. Those with and those without. One of the biggest things for me is people without it making an effort to try and understand it. It sure as hell makes it easier on us with it not feeling like you have to forever apologise for the way you are sometimes.
