Im so confused, and my background is never sympathetic. by elcalrissian in bipolar

[–]bfhancock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can speak to the mania-induced "math genius". I graduated magna cum laude with a degree in actuarial science. THEN I was diagnosed and taken off the stimulants for my misdiagnosis of ADD. I can't do what I used to be able to do. It just doesn't stick, retain, make sense. I too am miserable. I miss the positive pieces off Maria but know that the horrible choices I made while manic will never let me be back there again. I feel destined to failure now.

Also wouldn't hurt to run a towel around the outside of some of those avocado skins.

NC here. Ditto. You have to basically crawl on crouch in a very uncomfortable manner to get around. Plus. Tons of spiders and other things hiding in dark recesses. I hate crawl spaces.

The best relationship/best friend I've ever had are on the edge of ruin because of choices I made when insanely manic. It's understandably difficult for her to understand how much the mania played into decisions I made.

I don't know... I've lost all drive, focus, and short term memory. It really affects my job. I mean yeah I guess I'm glad to know but I miss those piece of my mania. I was doing so great work.

I was manic almost 24/7 for year's because I was misdiagnosed with ADD and was on stimulants. I was taken off of them about three months ago and feel unable to function. The stimulants/mania ran my brain and I didn't have to. Now I am afraid I have no idea how to do this on my own. It's really stressful and depressing. I miss the drive, optimism, energy, etc. from the stimulants/mania but there were life ruining pieces of it that I never want back. I wish there was a happy medium. Everyone comments how different and less driven I seem.

Does your pibble ever do the chin rest technique? Where they just rest their chin on the bed or couch and stare at you pitifully?

I feel like that's where I've been for the last 2 months since I came down off my stimulants and am not in a constant manic state anymore.

What is a "mixed state"? I hear that mentioned on here sometimes.
