Forgive me... you used to be a hyper-literalist... I've taken to simply assuming you mean *exactly* what you say.
Should I continue to do that in general, or just presume you use a more standard interpretation of the English language from now on?
Quote:Correct. I am not experiencing absolute apathy. I feel good for that, I'm carefree... not careless
Different connotation, different feeling, not much technical difference besides the fact I'm not currently reckless really.
Besides... who mentioned absolutes in the first place?
I do believe that it was you what mentioned absolutes in the first place, years ago
Quote:That can be good sometimes. It depends on the situation
Goodness... I hope it will be. I just worry to see her this happy TT__TT I'm certainly not used to it
Quote:Although when I first experienced my mania many doctors/nurses believed that I was on high doses of LSD and tested me twice and then questioned me again after finding nothing twice... and I was not believed, and not believed, and not believed.... until someone said that I was telling the truth because, he said, "You're telling the truth... I can see it in your eyes."
Sounds like your doctors were on LSD Sorry buddy *hugs*
Quote:I have never ever taken illegal drugs so I can't speak from personal experience. Although I do believe I've met people on drugs and they've been jealous of me
Oh and by the way... euphoria is kind of high.....
Bipolar is about low mood, high mood... or a mixture of ambivalent high and low at the same time.
Oh no, I agree... it's still a high. Just not as high as someone might get from say... that first shot of Heroin
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
