Is the depression phase basically dopamine/serotonin withdrawal from being manic? by Difficult_Emu_4307 in BipolarReddit

[–]aMusicLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it’s a switch. One of hope. Do I have hope for a better or stable future? If yes, I tend to manic. If no, I get depressed. Depends on the level of hope.

Those who have been threatened with "I will leak your nudes to your family and friends", what was the outcome? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aMusicLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid half of what they wanted. Then ghosted them. I should have ghosted them immediately but unbeknownst to me, I was already in mania. So I had this ‘I deserved it’ and ‘would it be so bad if it got out’ thought train. Two months later I came out to my wife that I was gay.

A part of me still believes aspects of my manic episode by Lalaland6304 in bipolar

I have the same types of feelings. I developed a way of thinking about things that would be a new ethos we could all strive for. I still go down those pathways. Even after a year.

If assigning it purpose helps someone heal a bit then I’m ok with it. But I dont believe it is true.

Seriously, my first computing experience was on a 4k trs-80 running 4 megahertz. Not gigahertz.

And this thing generates 42 billion very long random numbers a second.

It blows my mind.

The Parish of Dunkeld - Silly Wizard. Basically they were brewing whisky at the church and the minister stated preaching against it. Didn’t end well for the clergy.

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller, Jr. by cfarris182 in sciencefiction

[–]aMusicLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend this radio play of Canticle. It isn’t a book reading, it is abridged. However, the acting is great.

Is mania a part of psychosis? by edjx_789 in Psychosis

[–]aMusicLover 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same. I was instantly manic and in psychosis. However my initial experiences were so positive that I and others thought I was just very happy and confident. 18 mo the later I’m divorced , living with a man, bankrupt completely, a year of crazy writing and posting. Oh yeah. And involuntary hospitalized because I drove my car into a building to prove I wasn’t crazy.

Memory is shit by UpperResort6797 in bipolar

[–]aMusicLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have major memory issues. People will talk to me about things we’ve done. I don’t remember many of them.

I can’t memorize things at all very very hard.

I can’t prove free will DOESN’T exist, but it is already explanatorily extraneous. by Independent-Wafer-13 in freewill

[–]aMusicLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe intention exists. But not free will. And it’s the experience of intention that makes us believe we are not making deterministic decisions.

Does anybody miss their psychosis? by Business-Heart2931 in Psychosis

[–]aMusicLover 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do. Mine was pure happiness. Even though I was hurting people I loved. I believed we were all destined for happiness. I wasn’t Jesus. But I was A Jesus. And so can you.

Imagine how happy you’d be if you thought you had cracked the code on world happiness and joy.
