| All you can really do is learn from your past. Believe me, if they came out with a pill the resets your long term memory, I'd take it without hesitation. Until then, try to get over those memories by not being that way anymore and using them as guidelines to shape your new way of living. |

| The song Then she did... by Jane's addiction became my obsession in the last few months. I would listen to it three to four times in a row daily. I didn't really understand why I was so drawn to it. The music was interesting but I've never been too into alternative rock. Then it hit me. It describes... |

People who I converse with generally give me a neutral vibe. In acquaintances who I have never been formally introduce... |

| In the past I have had problems with sending e-mails to the most important people in my life while I was manic. I would send bizarre, pointless, worrisome and wasteful emails to professors, mentors and people I hardly know but are leaders in my field of interest. As much as it's a problem for them, ... |

His behavior may be disturbing but understand that fantasy is what drives sexual desires and if this kid thinks you are an outside so... |

| That's true. The embarrassment from my actions is something that I still have trouble getting over. Mania is primitive and hard to control but I honestly believe that it will be an integral part of the future brain when it's evolved to be easier to control and harness for productive purposes.

| Most of the problems with having mania come from other people not having it. When I first became manic people were trying to convince me that I was sick and needed help. I'm dedicated to following treatment but I still think that it is not an illness; that the medications are wrong; and that humans ... |

| I agree with parkled. In middle school I was bullied constantly to the point where I snapped and violently assaulted one of the bullies. Take the high route. Ignore them and give them no incentive to continue harassing you. Be the better person. |

| To me things like Bipolar and Aspergers are independent psychiatric inventions. We could all wake up tomorrow, turn on the morning news and learn that doctors no longer believe that Bipolar and aspergers exist. In the next few years it might turn out that we all have Callista syndrome. Just kidding ... |
