Hi, Thomas, I am sorry to hear that they don't meet that often, but even if you are calm I recommend that you go, you can meet others there that maybe you can contact during the times you are going like hell.. Finding things to keep yourself occupied is hard, what are your favorite things to do? are you taking medication and seeing a doctor? most of us don't know what normal is, we've suffered for so long with the illness to be able to tell what is you and what is the illness, I believe it is a combination of both, that give us our normal, there are certain things they relate to being bipolar, like mania, staying awake with little need for sleep, grand idea and beliefs, spending like crazy, etc... you can read up on all the text book symptoms but keep in mind that each one of us experience different things with our illness. I don't really think there is such a thing as "normal" normal is what the majority of the people have decided is considered right within their society, here it isn't considered normal to eat dogs or cats, in other cultures it is the normal..if your like me your normal is who you truly believe that you are deep down inside, not what other people think should be your normal, as they are basing that "normal" on their train of thought, not yours. You can't compare apples to oranges, their different, and you are probably a apple like me. |
