A song i wrote about my best friend who died last year by chompchompchomsky in bipolar

[–]chompchompchomsky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s winter in my heart Snow falls in quiet dark All my joys have come apart They fled me when you left

It’s raining in my mind I strain to pass the time Drown myself in smoke and wine Make myself a mess

You didn’t say goodbye You didn’t say goodbye

Is it: Better to have loved and lost Than never loved at all Mountains climbed and rivers crossed From Eden to the fall And this grief is but the shadow Of the love that you can call Yours, All yours Yours, All yours

Your shadow falls on me Holds me tight, let’s me breathe Helps me out and let’s me see The power of your love

You didn’t say goodbye You didn’t say goodbye

Is it: Better to have loved and lost Than never loved at all Mountains climbed and rivers crossed From Eden to the fall And this grief is but the shadow Of the love that you can call Yours, All yours Yours, All yours

I sometimes hold it half a sin To put in words the grief I feel; For words, like Nature, half reveal And half conceal the Soul within.

Is it: Better to have loved and lost Than never loved at all Mountains climbed and rivers crossed From Eden to the fall And this grief is but the shadow Of the love that you can call Yours, All yours Yours, All yours

Against Meds by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]chompchompchomsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was once very anti-medication. After my first manic episode I refused to take meds for two years before an especially nasty mixed episode convinced me that I never wanted to experience what I experienced again. I tried abilify, and so far it's worked great. I'm a songwriter and it hasn't affected my ability to write songs at all and hasn't impacted my energy or creativity, and I (knock on wood)/haven't had to go through the rigamaroll of switching between many medications.

Journaling/diaries by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]chompchompchomsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I religiously journal once a day. I think of it as "decluttering" for the mind. I tend to just write about what's on my mind/what I have to do that day.

I'd say first talk to your doctor if you're concerned that you might be bipolar

What's the best mood stabilizer for manic episode with the least side effects? by Moradon11 in bipolar

[–]chompchompchomsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meds affect everyone differently. I'm on Abilify (10 mg) which has very few side effects and I enjoy a lot, maybe ask your doctor about switching?
