Guest chax Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 here's a good book about the subject: http://www.amazon.com/Touched-Fire-Manic-Depressive-Artistic-Temperament/dp/068483183X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258697742&sr=8-1 Quote The march of science in explaining human nature continues. In Touched With Fire, Jamison marshals a tremendous amount of evidence for the proposition that most artistic geniuses were (and are) manic depressives. This is a book of interest to scientists, psychologists, and artists struggling with the age-old question of whether psychological suffering is an essential component of artistic creativity. Anyone reading this book closely will be forced to conclude that it is. Very Highly Recommended.

Morpheus Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'd just like to say that your website is crazy-ballz-to-the-wall awesome. I'm an artist meself, and I've dealt with anxiety/depression stuff...both art and writing helps. So does exercise, healthy eating, meditation etc. But as mentioned by others, your family and those close to your are really key to your emotional support, don't be afraid to reach out, ask for hugs, etc. Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50863-my-fiance-left-me/page/2/#findComment-1170275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneToThirtySix Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 petr, this may not be the time you want to hear this, but your fiancé's departure provides an opportunity for you to find someone that can deal with living with a bipolar spouse, and I wish you luck in finding them.

Guest Babar Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Sorry if i sound like prick but i'm also bipolar : i never got with this chick i was deeply in love with as she rejected me... because i am bipolar. I actually find it's a pretty normal reaction. We are handicapped people and we just are like people in wheelchairs. Wouldn't you dump your girlfriend at some point if she'd get paraplegic ? A thing doctor aren't likely to tell you : 25%(roughly) of bipolars die from suicide. Those who have survived a first attempt have 50% chances to die from suicide in their life.

Reveal hidden contents Babar, out ! nice optimistic interjection.... hahah couldn't you have just said "I thought all girls were bi polar " hahah nah but shit is hella serious and yeh its understandable to have to leave someone because they don't have their disorder figured out a little. I had a pretty fucking intense off and on relationship 2 and half years with a girl who was extremely bi polar, I tried my best but I had to let her go.... a few times... haha so many crazy stories from that girl wow.. most comical and proof that its a legit mental disorder: she bought this huuge amazingly beautiful bong that was worth at least 300 dollars from some people for like 150 anyway she fucking loved it, she had so much pride in this thing for the 3 days she had it before she FUCKING JACKHAMMERED THE BASTARD THROUGH MY KITCHEN FLOOR because I said something like "why cant you seem a little stoked that I went through all this trouble for you".... hahahaha we laugh about it pretty hard now but that thing was seriously her pride and joy.. it became painfully obvious that quite often that she did things she would never want to do because of teh bi polla, that she could only get help when she really wanted it and was dedicated to it and I couldnt help her at all Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50863-my-fiance-left-me/page/2/#findComment-1170333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessier Ashpool Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Good luck with this Petr(a) - my ex was bi-polar and I've seen how absolutely, tragically difficult it can be to deal with it. Especially in a world that often marginalizes the mentally ill. The advice here seems pretty spot on for what I've observed - take your meds religiously, get exercise, eat well, etc. Beyond that, though, make sure you take it easy on yourself. Don't try and make too many major life changes all of a sudden, and make sure you have a solid support group around you (sounds like your family is being there for you, which is great!) And remember, you are totally worthy of love and kindness, especially, and most importantly, from yourself.

Guest petr Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 thank you for all the kind responses again it really means a lot. i have already done a lot of work for two months already i stopped drinking, smoking, any drugs, eating sugar, gluten, any "simple carbs", dairy and i monitor my sleep i go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time everyday. i need to exercise more but like i said i just got out of the hospital and i am still a bit exhausted. also my medications make me pretty tired. i plan to start doing yoga, jogging, maybe even kickboxing - it might feel good to beat the shit out of something. also maybe i will start playing soccer again for a womens league.
