He said that we act funny, but we are not. He explained how diabetic people before they found insulin. Got fired alot. Because of their blood sugar problem, they acted out of sorts and nobody wanted them around, they lost their jobs because of it. He said the same thing is true of bipolar illness today. He said the people from the government SSI and SSDI are asking the wrong questions. They ask if you can work. He said , well Yes they can work if you would stop firing them. lol....
Their was a dancer he called to the stage to show what manic might look like. She was so energy driven, doing gymnastics handsprings and round-offs and cartwheels and leaps and flips and in constant motion. When she was done you were like #@$%&* she must be exhausted ... he said they would give her a break to catch her breath before showing the manic phase. Also when she danced they showed her on a screen, of digital squares , a zillion of them. Which to me showed the whole part of mania or hypomania, that we feel . The high is so perfect, you would think it was a miracle of God. And we are just flying with it. Really good illustration. Then for the depressive phase, she came on and danced again. This time the music was low and heavy and her danced was close to the floor, where she just kind of moved in a heavy sad manner. Two extremes. Really. God is such a great physician. One time I was reading in the book of ecclesiates. and I believe it was the holy spirit or God, that blew the verse my way ... which was.... a wise man will avoid all extremes. I felt good like God knew about me, we'll put it that way, cause he is real and does know alot about me. More than I know even and definately about me. After all, i didn't create myself, he created me. okay over and out... Good luck, its painful following your own storm, and I hope for more
