zombie..the whole manic depresive thing and the bi polar thing, from what i've seen can be the drive or inspiration of some of the most incredible creative works
the problem is that when it dips into the 'lows'
if youve ever had someone you know in either states you'll see some pretty wacky shit.
during the high part, it's like the clouds open up and absolutely nothing is impossible...and the creativity is so thick it's contagious..and the lows are the absolute pits of despair...
thats why a lot of manic depresives won't use their medication ...
the highs are just too fucking adictive..
they'd rather face the lows, than do without the high.bi polar folks of course, are just on another planet all toghether..
my brothers buddy is bipolar and oh, my gawd..
the weird shit that guy has produced when not on his meds is staggering..
note books full of weird esoteric writing about the universe, how time and space corelate, and how to turn a flashlight into a real working lightsaber.yep.
completely bugfucking nuts.but creative beyond most of our wildest imaginations..
i suppose it's because his imagination has no speedlimit.
