The Bipolar Advantage - Bipolar in Order

Just checking in, primarily with the people at The Bipolar Advantage. Tom Wootton wrote The Depression Advantage, The Bipolar Advantage, Bipolar in Order and other books. I find the concept very interesting if initially challenging. You may find it a challenging concept. My fellow sufferers and myself are the experts on being bipolar. No Doctor, however learned, can know what it is truly like unless they share the condition. No one can know how it affects lives unless they listen to bipolar sufferers. This happens all too infrequently and usually follows a bipolar related crime or celebrity story.

Despite some major blips this year, I still feeling the "advantage" of bipolar. I put my copy of "Bipolar in Order" in my support group library and it was borrowed for the first time last month. I want to get their reaction. I found it a frustrating book because the concepts were very much theoretical in the UK. They seemed sound however.

I have hit some all time lows in the first 4 months of 2011. I have been bouncing back strongly each time and that reassures me! I want to write about the advantage in my new book, a compilation based on lived experience. When I suggested the chapter, I am sure friends said "What advantage?" This was related to mental illness generally. I see it as a very good ending to the book and it will be my main contribution apart from coordination. It will focus on my wellness and continued recovery.

I am feeling very good in a very serene way. I am sure a lot of friends still think I am "nuts". As for the outsiders, they think I am totally "out there" with the faeries. I am still not sure about gaining from being depressed or anxious, but I can accept the connection. This year I have seen the worst of times and the best of times, sometimes in the same day or days. I founnd it amazing to feel so serene on the day after a major crisis.

I think I am getting there, where ever there is? Normal is a distant memory and I feel like I am re-inventing myself. Part of this was strangely made possible by increased isolation and breaking away from life's influences or expectations that were only in my head.

Excuse me rambling a bit. I hope it helps.

  1. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well.
