Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the fact that you're at least putting effort into sincerely arguing your points. It's an argument I've enjoyed having. It's just that your points are wrong and your reasons for thinking they're right are stupid.

So Silly, what techniques do you use to stabilize?

Anecdotal evidence: I believe Nietzsche became heavily and continually depressed after reading The Ego and His Own by Max Stirner, or something by Schopenhauer. His response was Thus Spake Zarathustra, as a metaphysical escape from a depression that was both mental and philosophical.

Quoted to bring this to the new page.

More or less constant visualisation of elements of my psyche personified. Depression has a 'character' which I probably couldn't communicate effectively here. I imagine egregores for these things and this lends me the ability to better manage my brain zoo day to day. After years of practice I can feel things like sorrow, regret, fatalistic and various other thought spirals, trying to sneak up on me. I also have techniques for fighting or neutralising these before they take root. Nowadays they hardly even get a chance to appear. Get's easier with practice but, honestly it's almost totally accomplished via creative imagination.

Think of the way LBRP works- You visualise the symbols and in this way they are impressed on your psyche. Now imagine you never found out about LBRP until years after you had been required to construct your own ad-hoc system, under impetus of, to all intents and purposes, life or death. Nowadays I'll come across an existing godform or demon and I'll pick it up, like choosing suits from a catalogue, and slot it in where it fits.

Most adept practitioners of the occult arts would be, probably quite rightly, fucking disgusted at the bastardised tokenology that resides in my head but I make no apologies. Sometimes just hearing a name or seeing roughly where it fits in a cosmology will be enough study of its description for me.

Have no fears Silly. I'm entirely aware of the risks of going med-less. But I strongly doubt that I even have what can be legitimately called bipolar disorder. I haven't had any symptoms in many months (and maybe a year, but my memory of the time I got off of the meds is really hazy) without meds, which either says I'm handling myself well or that I was just going through a very strange time in my life.

Which leads me to an interesting question: how does the BIP relate to mental disorders, and the diagnosis there of?
