Yes, yes, yes.
Next question, please.
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain.

You CAN do anything you want with it.
Someone will enjoy it, maybe not you... but someone.
No.

Well, much as the Pentagon can be considered a holy place for the sheer chaos it generates, I'm sure the Kremlin should be as well for similar reasons. It was intended to be the sheer embodiment of order to a communist USSR, and serves a similar function in the more modern Russia. Few are as blithely successful at creating chaos by the imposition of order as the Russian Government.
Teh russian mafia is prolly a close second, though.
Discordianism: It's a dessert topping! It's a floor wax!

Does religion believe in you there, or what?
A religion that believes in you? hmmm....interesting....sounds like a really good idea for a mindfuck operation. So who wants to help me make up a religion?

I will, just don't ask me to do anything.
This concept is just briliant. I've been living my life trying to push shit uphill with people saying that there must be something wrong with me and the experts (x is an unknown quantity and a spert is water under pressure ... how intelligent) say that I'm bi-polar and have certified me and made me take meds, all because my behaviour is slightly higher that the norm. If I could bottle my euphoria when I'm manic, I'd make a fortune. So what if my ideas are slightly on the edge of reality? Reality sucks anyway. I'd rather tip-toe through the tulips on a regular basis personally. I think the Greeks had the right idea of having a god for every little thing and you could just choose the one to worship by the way you feel at that time. Eris rules. There's nothing more fun than throwing a spanner in the works when things get a little boring. Kaos is stimulating. Any comments?
Comment:
Bi-Polar disorder ain't nuthin to fuck with.
Comment:
Sounds like typical manic-talk to me. I'd probably want to ditch the meds if I could stay manic more often than depressed (hell, I hate taking my meds as it is). It's a toss up between living a "normal" life or living the one you want. If you can make it work, more power to you. Not necessarily the smartest decision, but people've done worse.
I dunno about that. Ditching the meds and riding the Manic High gets you to what is commonly known as a "psychotic break" and comes with the wonderful side effects of paranoia and delusion.
So, yeah. I stand by my first comment. Sure it's fun to ride your motorcycle to the upper limits of control, but in this case, you got no handlebars.
Well, yeah. That's what keeps me taking my lovely morning/evening pill cocktail, tbh. But for someone who's waxing poetic about the joys of mania, saying "hey dude, that's great but you should really take yr meds" tends to not be as effective, even if it's the better advice. :| Maybe just don't listen to me.
-Eve,
probably not in the right place for good advice giving today.. but will likely dispense it nonetheless.
I second taking medications.
My grandfather was bi-polar; he shot himself in front of his family. Everyone loses.

I don't take bi-polar disorder as a lark, but there are so many proffessionals out there that are all too willing to prescribe meds that have more side effects than benefits. I live in the country away from "the general public" so why should my personality be chemically changed when I'm not hurting anyone and I tend to live on the manic side and not the depressive side? What is normal anyway?
Hey, do what you want. Just remember, when your brain chemistry runs unchecked through your system, you're not exactly the one in control.
The illusion of control...well none of us are really ever in control anyway...
don't some of them permanently alter your brain for merely taking them.
like glasses it slowly just gets worse and worse over time
until you have your front lobe cut out or get a new pair.

:cn:
something about once you take them you have to keep.
lets see what the master brain says
something about balance and not drinking when your on pills
QuoteAt higher levels of arousal, however, the more rapid turnover of serotonin in the synaptic gap will require higher levels of serotonin production to adequately maintain the greater activity of serotonin circuits. Young refers to those suffering depression of a more vegetative, passive, quiescent variety as the "apathetic inhibited" type.
Given that serotonin neural circuits frequently serve to counterbalance the arousing activating dopamine/noradrenaline circuits (the neural circuits activated by cocaine and amphetamine, and to a lesser extent, coffee), Young's observations make perfect sense.
...
Research has shown that tryptophan/ serotonin is effective for more than depression. Various forms of defective impulse control and obsessive compulsive disorders are also strongly affected by serotonin nerve activity. Suicidal behavior, compulsive gambling, irrationally dangerous thrill seeking behavior and pyromania (compulsive fire-starting), have been shown to be correlated with low serotonin neural activity, combined with excessive :fap: dopaminergic/noradrenergic activity.
Chronic alcoholism may also have a serotonin component. Research with animals and humans has shown that alcohol initially increases serotonin nerve activity; yet chronic alcohol use impairs tryptophan entry into the brain. Thus, chronic alcoholism may involve a vicious spiral of a brief alcohol-induced increase of serotonin neural activity, with consequent sense of well-being, combined with an ever-worsening baseline state of serotonin nerve activity due to alcohol's impairment of brain tryptophan transport.

Quotecaffeine intoxication, a condition that causes symptoms like nervousness, insomnia, tachycardia and psychomotor agitation. Caffeine intoxication is not uncommon: according to a 1998 study in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 7% of caffeine users have experienced it. The symptoms usually abate quickly when people quit caffeine, but in rare cases the symptoms can lead to death.

Oh, I fully support the right of every individual to go as batshit insane as they want. Just make sure that being manic is to your benefit.
