I have been thinking about what Kay says about
the term Bi-Polar not being a good discription of this condition, she prefers Manic-Depressive.
At one point she refers to mania possibly being deep deep depression, this concept is very interesting to me. Could Mania be depression in an extreme degree?
I know when manic I lash out in anger and am vile along with getting the real issues in front of the people I lash out at.
Could Mania really be a form of depression?
Appriciate any feed back on this.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
God Help Me I Just want to HIDE!!!! No Meds make me better just more depressed. At least with lithium When I stopped the drug I went High.
This MIXED STATES thing is going to kill me.
I hope that depakote increase makes me more depressed. I need to get out of this!!!!
I am like a God
that doesn't sound depressed to me.
Bipolar sounds too neutered and comical when said aloud.

It's a silent Kay.
I have BP mania...no depression, so for me the frustration, severe anger and rage is my depression.
