Yes, and I related to all of them. I have been off medication for about 15 years after an incredibly serious episode that I thought at the time was a life ruined. I simply stopped taking medications after 2 years of re balancing. I needed to know can i go without meds, with a plan. My life had been dominated to that point by BiPolar, I recieved BA in Religion simply based on an experience and was seeking understanding. My break was my lack of developing any clear understanding and that then set me with an undertanding of the biological nature of who we are. 15 years of random reading, introspection and simply not buying the purely scientic view of reality, or the religous view of reality and simply going my own path I finally had a major experience last year that synthesized the who framework for me. you might say my amygdala was finally balancing itself. I was self aware, knew it was a biological experience, went to bed and slept much of it, and through that, in allowing my biological come into balance I came into balance. I have made over 200K per year over the last 5 years, I realized that living on the crazy train of our culture is not healthy, have stepped off, and am allowing my life to become more balanced and in a very real way stepping back from our culture and simply understanding it from a larger perspective is all. Being bipolar is not a defect, it's a genetic aspect of who we are, completely embracing it and learning how to embrace it is our great struggle. We need to stay true to our religious tendencies we need to understand that in a larger context, church is beautiful for those who are not bipolar it's dangerous for us who are. We can become confused in what is being taught from a distinctly different experiential framework than our own.
