The Bipolar Compass

7 thoughts on “BpHope Post #7”

1. On the bipolar 2 axis where depression is the baseline…Definitely a curse. I can’t find a single “blessing” in never being able to think clearly because my mind is sending out incorrect info.
   If I have to do the silver lining thing…At least this crap makes me hella empathetic. Only being in a place where little empathy is shown could one learn to feel bad even for a crippled bug.

2. I left the following message on BpHope:

   Like you mention, I am conflicted when it comes to bipolar. Sure, there’s the parts of me that hates it, but I’m also of the belief that those with BP are generally more creative. I sincerely believe it is what makes me a good writer.

   1. Nice comment. I know you are definitely in the camp of bipolar being a curse! I never thought of the connection between people with kids and their mentality towards bipolar. Makes a lot of sense! Well off the lounge. It’s hot down here I don’t know about where you are!! Going to chill by the pool.
      Lots of love
      XOXOXO

4. Great article. I never knew about the historical path of bipolar. I live the conflict of blessing or curse as well. Sometimes I feel that the conflict represents the nature of bipolar as a whole. Two polar ends fighting against one another. I have to say, I don’t know if I’d change it – its all I’ve ever known

   1. That’s the problem. It IS all we have ever known. So to imagine life without it would be difficult. It’s definitely something that adds interest to our lives.
