For many people, the highs are the problem. Some people spend all their money, some people let complete strangers move in, and some people think God has told them they can fly and jump off a building. Mania, man.
Yep. I had a friend who, when she would get the "up" she'd engage in very risky sex with whoever was around. Then when she'd come down she'd hate herself for it and have to deal with the fallout.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sex positive. Do what you want with who you want. I just see how much it hurt her to constantly be getting std tests and spending all that money on plan b and fucking up her cycle.
There’s a difference between being sex positive and being okay with someone “self harming” with sex. I don’t think you should need to specify you are sex positive, just like someone shouldn’t need to say “I think water is important to drink but you should avoid drowning in it”
You're probably right. I just prefer to err on the side of over explaining that I never have a problem with what any adult is doing with any other consenting adult.
Mine had me believing everyone in the world was out to get me, while simultaneously I felt like the smartest person in existence. Like everyone around me was on a plane below mine, not even close to what I was. The only constant was the love for my cats, they were my emotional anchor.
I think back, I was so cold and calculated with people during that time. You couldn't talk to me without me pointing out the flaw and corruption in everything you discussed with me, I found a way. I don't even think I was wrong about much when I did that, but nobody wants to hear it on repeat. In every conversation. I sucked the positive emotion away from anything because I hated the world.
My point being, during a manic episode you can easily convince yourself that everyone else is wrong or incompetent. The meds can very well be bad and dulling, that's why there are so many. So you can find one that helps you more than it hurts you. That episode tore my life apart in the matter of a week, and I was excited for it.
Oh yeah for sure. This guy would get so excited about things and ended up with some expensive stuff …
