People who deal with depression are so often misunderstood by people who have had the luxury of never having any significant difficulties controlling their mood.

It IS who I am, there's no way around it. It’s almost like a knuckle that has to be cracked or coughing up phlegm, you just have to do it and in our case, we have to let it take its course. <br /><br />Love me, love my moods. Being Bipolar can be looked at (if you are insightful enough) as "burning karma"... with insightfulness like those of us here, brave enough to own it and talk about it without shame, it makes us considerably more intelligent. Maybe in our next life we’ll be much closer to enlightenment (if that’s what you believe). <br /><br />We ACTUALLY know what to say to one another unlike the “layman”; we DON’T utter senseless, empty words. That’s called intellect and wisdom which they do not possess or comprehend. Most BRILLIANT and CREATIVE people are mentally ill… so FUCK the outsiders! <br /><br />I don’t need your sympathy, I don’t need your solutions, and I certainly don’t need you to REPAIR me… I have been through this many a many a many a many times, just make an effort to truly love me when I decide to show my face and leave me alone when I don’t! Let me scream, let me cry and try to LISTEN to what I’m saying; loving me can be a hug or a whisper; “I love you even like this” or “Can I do anything for you?” Sometimes, (most of the time) just simply listen and SAY FUCKING NOTHING!! Of course, unless I ask you a question …PLEASE THINK about what you’re going to say before you say it… If you really have no answer rather than giving an obscure answer (which WILL PISS us off) just say…”I don’t know”… that’s more honest than the BULLSHIT! <br /><br />If you say you love me, then you have to tailor your love to who I am SPECIFICALLY. YOU HAVE TO LOVE EVERYONE INDIVIDUALLY and in our case this is PART of who we are, it is not all of who we are. <br /><br />My favorite Quote in the world and so appropriate for Manic Depressive people’s loved ones, the common associate or stupid co-worker, etc.;<br /><br />“Skillful speech not only means that we pay attention to the words we speak and to their tone but also requires that our words reflect compassion and concern for others and that they help and heal, rather than wound and destroy”. <br />~ Bhante Henepola Gunaranta <br /><br />PLEASE understand that this is NOT the way I want to be; most of us have suffered through some psychological trauma(s) and we have triggers, sometimes those triggers are inevitable, unlike what TheRapist tells you; “Avoid these triggers”, most of them are just everyday fucking BULLSHIT circumstances that everyone goes through or as in my case I am a MAGNET for EXTRORDINARY BULLSHIT, that is usually UNBELIEVABLE to the lay person! <br /><br />Furthermore, when I am manic, NO I AM NOT ON Cocaine! And I am UNABLE to “calm down” and “be quiet”… SO FUCKING DEAL! <br /><br />Also, ROLLING YOUR EYES MAKES ME WANT TO PUNCH YOU! <br /><br />Love and PEACE to all of you! <br /><br />I started a BLOG about my life; if anyone is interested, I have 3 posts… <br /><br />http://lovelettersfrommylips.blogspot.comMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781005536151949305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433738082974955694.post-77394537464403994992012-07-16T23:10:49.535-07:002012-07-16T23:10:49.535-07:00Thank you for putting into words everything I can ...Thank you for putting into words everything I can not.
