Talk about pain and the intolerable bipolar creates an almost new pain in itself. So how about what’s good about being bipolar. I can tell you fly on the wall when this was read around the world. There is nothing good about being bipolar nor good about being a bipolar. A bipolar that is not medicated can say that their creativity is the sharpest when they are “awake”. I may not have introduced the term awake before so allow me a moment to explain it.

More than likely this is going to take a huge tangent away from what I was beginning there but anyhow, when a bipolar is medicated and well into their therapeutic range of medication they are literally zombies. The walking asleep bipolars. The level of medication to even out the mood cycles puts the bipolar in a zombie state, the walking dead, asleep on their feet. In this state the bipolar is manageable, they’re asleep, so of course they’re manageable.

Off the tangent and moving forward, the same manic that is not medicated will say that they pose no threat to themselves or anyone else. If you are the one hearing that I can only say as being a manic that is pure bullshit! We are dangerous to ourselves and to those around us. It is so like a drunken driver where the question is will any thing happen by driving drunk, but of course we know that answer and it is not if but when . . . . Same with a manic that is not medicated, when?

That has wore me out so I bide you farewell till I am able to write more for you again.

I may not have mentioned it but I really enjoy photography and can actually say
that I do pretty well by it. Sooner or later I will try to get a gallery of photos that I take up and can say that amoung other things I am a pretty good writer also. I have written a number of ebooks, mostly on internet subjects and how-to for craigslist, twitter, google adsense and other popular marketing subjects. For my faithful readers I will make available totaly FREE to you, any and all if you desire just send me an email to ebooks@bipolarydiary.com tell what you would like or what type of ebooks you like or just ask for the whole list of what I have available. Yours FREE as I said for being one of my faithful readers and if you like I will do the same for all your family and friends. Not cost, no gimmick.

I will end on that note – keep reading, learn, live happy and share.

YES! Share. A note about that.

Today the Lord rested on this when in the creation of the heavens and earth but let me tell you the demons in my mind rarely rest, I mean even God did.

Let’s see, when medicated I would be a walking zombie and at times it would still hurt but not as bad.

So folks out there in radio land, as they used to say and I bet in some places they still do. Any how, what with the previous statement what would you think/ Medicated and zombie, or not medicated dangerous unstable but REALLY VERY CREATIVE!

Now some where in the middle of last year are my rants when I was medicated and let me tell you I bet it was the friggin demons writing that shit because I can’t tell you where it came from.

I am I the only one with these suffering demons that run around kicking my ass giving me the run to the point where I feel I should be medicated? Sure we all know the benefit of being medicated we have the chance of living to a ripe old age, drooling from the chair we are restrained to or regulated to suddenly finding yourself in an adventure like visiting a CRACK hotel in downtown LA and feeling like that was home. I really have to tell you about that one if I remember to sometime. Another one that comes to mind is being 11 years old in a control box (underground) which was about 4′X4′X3′ with a steel cover where I sought refuge from the demons chasing me, almost bought it on that one you know railroad tracks, fast big trains.

Now trains, I spent a lot of my childhood on hopping freight trains around the country because I was a bad kid and to see if my parents would come and get me once I got caught,.. In the beginning they would but then I became the quest of many adult institutions because the police was told just to keep me. One time in Chanute Kansas I was driven to the river and told to get the hell out of dodge, meaning this was on the border of Missouri and walked over the bridge in to Missouri and caught a eastbound freight to Springfield and on and on and on it went as in of story at this moment. Should not remember stuff like that, I may end up medicated again.

Best just to give it up for now. High or low at this point? More low than high haven’t seen one of those since when?

Now I call tell ya that I am leaving the slump and am headed up hill. The pain has eased and the demons are asleep. I feel as I can see and that both eyes are open. This simple statement may seem a bit impractical but if this is you and you have been there you can realize just what I am saying. Good day at work, no real stumbling there a bit hard to motivate but was able to focus and be productive.

At the same time I am home trying to do some web cams and I am able to get a simple cam up and running, web site with simple programming, but then I have this IP cam that is giving me nothing but trouble and I can not finger it out. As with times like these the periods when I can do complex technical shit are few and far between but understanding as I may I still attempt it thus frustrating myself unmercifully. I may realize this is happening or three days later when I experience a moment of lucidness I realize I have spent 3 days doing nothing but spinning my wheels.

I will end on that note – keep reading, learn, live happy and share.

Wish I could tell you all is great. Well one thing I found my lost lost daughter and I can tell you my life is gold compared to what that dear child had to go through growing up. She is now a grown woman with a child of her own and seems to be well adjusted. Now I also have a son of which I have not heard from in 30 years and my daughter says she thinks he dead, a drug deal gone wrong in California. Before I really didn’t like California and now . . . . . Still on the down spiral and it is killing me. I have the over whelming urge to self medicate and very well may just bought a liter of liquor to help celebrate Memorial day. What a blast – NOT! We here where I live in this swelter community we had a hail strom straight from which tore everything to pieces, luckily my wife and I were both at work in parts of town that were virtually unscathed by the storm. hey there was something good!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I seem to be funking but it is not no sharp drop and it is mostly numb. Good sign. My mind is really foggy and terribly hard to formulate thoughts. It seems as I watch the whole computer display is moving in slow motion. Pretty crazy seeing it play out and so will shut it down now.

Is it really May already? Sometime in my delusional illusionist times I just get so totally lost up in the speeding time continuum. My efforts toward internet marketing are beginning to move a bit. I have done 2 videos for the linking to my main site if anyone cares Click Here to see or if you have any interest in the videos CLICK HERE to see them on YouTube and if you bother to watch any of the videos (about 50 of them) please take a moment to leave a comment on your thoughts. Bear in mind that when you see my stuff it is created by a manic and as we well know many people say that bipolars are really talented and I do believe I do fit that mold but not necessarily.

My talents run m ore in to the “Crystal Ball” arena. I try to look into the future and predict events and occurrences and the outcome of all of this. As a matter of fact I am very good when it comes to this and that is how I make my living, I am a “Cost Estimator” for Construction.

This is why it is so hard to be medicated because it clouds up my visions and the crystal ball is just smoky and cloudy. I do have a propensity to be a “Wild Ass Guesser” but I am not very good at it. Matter of fact if you run into some one who lays claim to this fame, DON NOT BUT SNAKE OIL FROM THEM for it is bound to be pure poison.

Talking about medication, and since I have no sense of then or now I am not sure as to whether or not I had commented on as to why I don’t like to be medicated. Mainly I feel must more alive when I am awake because the dose of depakote required to be therapeutic with me is about 2000mgs a day an 4 of them horse pills just takes all of the apatite right out of me.

I know it is not fair to the people around me, those that love and care for me that of the unpredictable nature that is the reality of not being medicated brings to my life and those around as well as the general public at large ( I once came to my senses only to find my self in a Downtown LA –10th and Main– in a crack bar hotel paying 100 dollars a night) one time when I was not medicated. Remind me to tell you of that one and of course we well know that there are many tales to be told by not being medicated, like the many time of homelessness and hopelessness of those situations, we will tell of them soon or later.

Fact of the matter I just can not function at the level I need to to be creative and alive although being a bipolar and saying that as it applies to me is almost an oxymoron.

I am in Florida with my lovely. Finished a horrible down run but when this occurs it is alway horrible and it occurs way too often. The resultant is that I am just to paralyzed to do anything gainful and productive. There are a lot of stories in my mind that I would like to get out for the benifit of everyone but am at the time unable to lay them down for ya all.
