I give it a small lecture?
I tell ppl that when I am happy, I am so happy that things are grandious, larger than life, not matter what I do, I can't hurt myself, this is the manic cycle.
When I an depressed, I get to the point I don't care if I ever get out of bed, get dressed, or die, sometimes the die is hard not to do. this is the deprest cycle.
When I am stable, life goes on, I am not really happy, nor am I feeling sad. it is just like a regular day, just like normal ppl have a regular day.
My bigest problem is that I am a rapid cycler, meaning I can go from grand to shitty in just a few days. I normally run on the manic cycle for 2 or 3 weeks, followed by a dpreseed cycle for any where from 1 to 4 weeks. I normally have a stable period that last from 1 day to 10 days. My meds do a good job of taking care of me, but sometimes.........

Just wondering what others think living with bipolar actually means, I really don't know how to describe it other than black and white with nothing in between, would love to hear from others.

Well some days it's like having a gun and shooting it at everyone,then you have no targets left,you've taken everyone on and won.Other days it's like having a gun with nothing to shoot at and nowhere to go.Then other days you are unarmed and just floating in a bubble.When you have a guy next to you who you shagged the arse off, -

a pile of designer goods and a row of drugs,all of which you don't have a fucking clue where they came from,then you know you're manic.When you don't have all these you're depressed and when everyone becomes really fucking boring and you thought they were interesting then you're stable lol!Not that I would know lol! -

It's like having someone hold your head under water and not let go. Like drowning. No control. -

It is like having a bad PR man who makes you look insane at the worst possible times. And you cannot fire him.
