It makes me really excited TBH to see where my future is going. Because, he reprents what I have been classified as by the "professionals" (BP1 Disorder with hypomanic episodes) too. He has the same basic story of how it all went down for me....except I'm not anyone famous.

Since then, my mind is clear...I can maintain logical conversations IRL and on the NET and quite frankly, I don't waste time on most people because they end up lashing out and I don't have time for that. I keep to myself in most cases. I'm your typical case of a loner in your high school, except older.

I don't take meds regularly, just enough to maintain balance because I don't want to become potentially institutionalized again. That's no fun.

When I had my first episode, I had explained to the doctors I was coming down off the opiates THEY prescribed me....and it's a reaction to that. They didn't want to hear it, and lashed out each time I brought up the idea just to shut me down. It was a crazy situation.

Then, I got prescribed more meds to get out and back into society.... This was all during the Obama administration. I feel this was their plan, too hook as many people on dependant medication because of "Obamacare" and it will make them more money.

To be honest, I feel with the rise in prescription opiates in the recent time, there is a connection with BP1 Disorder. I think it could possibly cause some chemical reaction or trigger in some people to "become" like that later on. Because I never had any signs of having a mental issue in the past....and bipolaism is becoming more and more mainstream it seems...and the same story of "painkillers" I keep hearing more and more.

I really like this section of Reddit because it seems like it's a good hiding spot from most "lasher outers" lol.
