A month before I wouldn't have asked that question, because I didn't know what it meant, neither had i really heard about it. Thanks to a coincidence,I know it. If I know it, why the question "am I"? I guess I don't know it enough and the answer I feel now is yes. Thought i better invite some opinions on me.
Let us start, from the story of how i came across this question. One day, I was just bored lying around in the bed watching and refreshing my facebook as always... the feed was getting pretty boring, i just dropped into another timepass which i had discovered not so long ago.. Omegle. Frankly I was surprised by the person who showed it to me, it really changed my opinion about him. That's another story, another episode, somewhere in my autobiography if i ever get to write it.
So what you find in Omegle is generally a lot of ppl who want to make full use of anonymous random chat to unleash their inner beast and fantansies. The concept of talking to strangers and making friends is generally hard to find. But then at times, the search for it is so easy since mostly it won't go a lot beyond two sentences unless they are around interested in finding the random stranger to just talk. Again what omegle is doesn't look like the heading of my post.
So this day I lie around i guess it should have been a saturday night because i remember it was going pretty late already, and the friday was an amazing day and i wouldn't sit late unless it is a saturday or friday... :) So I get bored of just refreshing my FB page, I go to Omegle searching for people who don't disconnect after two lines. I was about to get bored of that as well and planning to go into the sweet slumber, when I meet this 15 yr old from england who seem to be someone like me, interested in talking with a random stranger out of boredom. The conversation goes on, i find that by coincidence I have someone who thinks like me and surprisingly young and sensible. So I like find people who like to think like I think, because they are hard to find. Yup, I know what you are thinking. Yes I do think pretty weird for a majority around the world. So in the end, I found a friend from half way around the world(may be just 1/3rd around the world by location). I am certainly still impressed by what i know of this friend, but that again is not a reason why i wrote this blog. I'm just getting distracted and distracted. Let me try getting back to the Topic.
So I end up finding the blog of my friend. How did I end i finding it? To be frank, it wasn't hard. I happened to check out new and "3rd" person to follow my blog. Wow! I fell upon not just a blog but another fact. Yes, My new friend was bipolar. So this induces the natural question in me, What is "Bipolar Disorder"? Then my recent natural habit, when I come across new stuff happened. What was it? Yes, of course, Putting the word "Bipolar Disorder" in google and clicking on the Wiki link that comes up. Why don't i do the Wiki search than search in google and click the link. It has been a habit or i enjoy autocorrect option or just love the plain google search too much, may be the easiness of googling from chrome. (I hate the fact that i am dependant on the fact that I'm so dependant on a company named after a typo founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.) I'm drifting from the topic again.
So as I read through the explanation put together by people collaborative effort founded by Jimmy Wales. I end up asking myself the Title of this post. Why I asked that question, is a fact that still evades me. I guess I might be either being a hypochondriac or I am thinking right? That is a question I still need to find answer on.. and I don't expect a Yes or no answer by the end of this post. Currently the scope of this post is just the search for the answer and putting together my thoughts on Bipolar disorder. Now that I'm aware of something called "Bipolar Disorder", let me being on the better of the two insane options i have here. Being a hypochondriac.
I will not rather go through the painful reasoning why I think myself is bipolar. But I guess I had rather take another path of discovering what is Bipolar and my own speculations and thoughts on seeing it differently or rather put in my weird thought on it. I know i might not be really understand the issue and here i take disclaimer for the information on this blog once again. These are my thoughts and might not be correct, be free to put forward your views on the comments.
So the google definition of Bipolar goes like this "Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people go back and forth between periods of a very good or irritable mood and depression. The "mood swings" between mania and depression can be very quick" The courtesy goes to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov I believe.
I wonder how come the random switching of moodswings is so much of big issue. I might be being optimistic but definitely i guess the people who fit this description are people who have a higher range of moods. That can be positive too. With the ability of going to the extremes and think well too. Yes, I do wonder why depression is considered as a condition. I know the bad effects of depression like suicidal tendency. But the mind of an individual is his/her individuality. The fact that his/her mind is different from a big majority doesn't mean that it is mind that needs to be faulty. Yes. I'm trying to prove that thinking weird isn't the meaning that there is something wrong with the mind. Tell me a good reason why being different is Crazy.
I'm rather worried about how world considers a Psychiatric patient. Why should you consider a person who is crazy different from a person who has a heart problem or a fever patient. The biggest issue with the mind is not the problem, but the way the people around you sees you. The way the world considers you changes. The fact that the persons who proved to be great after being considered can be presented as a publicity stunt, but if the world standing against you is kind of challenging and trying to prove you are better is fun. But the people who are good enough to stand up against the whole world is not very high. Probably people will commit suicide due to the depression of having the depression than actual depression, because once you are diagnosed of a psychiatric disorder people tend to take more precaution when you interact than the most contagious fatal diseases that are all around this world. Being different psychiatrically is not a bad thing, It is just being a different kind of person, Just like you look different from other people around you. We need to help others. We just need to bring them closer to our heart and help them become more customised to live like what the general majority thinks is the "normal" way to live. Keeping them away just sends them farther apart from the majority.
The world has to change and just let us make it a better place to leave for everyone. Let us hope it will once become like what is good for everyone.
I guess I drifted around the topic too much already and this is what i have for the day... My Friends' Blog can be found here.... It as well as the author might be of help to someone who is in search of the details of Bipolar disorder. SO worth spreading around. Courtesy: Miss. Bee :)
