My epathany has been perscribed as me having bipolar. They were giving me meds and it was a horrible 3 years. I was in a psych ward twice (Those places are BUGGERRED!!!) I was reflecting (and having a nice upshot in my mood) and I thought I'd post this on a few forums. With bipolar you go from suicidal to maniac in seconds They SAY with meds it will come you down but that's bullshit. Meds might calm you down but they might zombify you too (damn near lost my diploma to the fucking things.) I'm in a manic phase. Could you tell? I'm not sure what it is but I have a VERY skewed logic. My thinking is WAY off center. It could be the bipolar or my unique little way of thinking. Dunno which. Back to bipolar. What I found out works best is to find something to calm you down/pep you up that works naturally. for me it's music (downer and upper dependingon who I listen to) and video games (although that's more anger management.) My opinion on ALL psychological problems is that if your mind can fix it, let it. Drugs weaken your mind just like steralizing and flu shots weaken your immune system. Keep your mind going. THINK!!! Even with the pot, crack, heroin, lsd, prozac, lithium, paxcil, etc. you should be able to do that much. Bugger. It's 5:00 AM. Time to sleep. You also get REALLY strange sleeping patterns with bipolar I think. |

Isn't flu shots supposed to BOOST your imune system against flu viruses? Anyway you are right that the purely psycoligical problems can never be fixed by drugs, you can pup depressed people full of endorphins to keep them "happy", but it doesn't cure the underlying problem... In some cases psyhological problems is caused by physical problems, like chemical inbalance in the brain and things like that (alzheimers for example)... In those cases you can't realy "think" your way out, so drugs is required to restore balance. It might not fix the underlying problem in those cases either, but it's the only alternative... Drugs won't weaken your mind IMHO (well some might kill off a few brain cells), they might weaken your liver or cause other side effects, however they will rarely "fix" the problems either, just supress the worst sympthoms so you can function problery... It's an easy "fix" though, so it's quite probably overly used because of lack of time to explore other options. Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |
