Some of it may be the grandiosity of mania? perhaps?

Kisses, I know. That's the first thing I thought. lol

I agree SunCloud. He definitely has displayed pretty classic manic symptoms. Often.

But then he was also out of it on painkillers which he admitted - so it could be that.

Or he could simply be a self-opinated loudmouth - which more or less defines celebs anyway.

Substance abuse often goes hand in hand with bipolar. I was abusing alcohol heavily while manic. Thank god I didnt get into anything harder.

But I agree, I mostly see him as a jerk that also happens to be bipolar. Maybe I just have a soft spot for anyone struggling with the disorder because I too have struggled so much? I'm not sure how to feel about it. I can see both sides.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
