Guys, i'm going through a strange trip.
I am under a muzzle order so to speak and
told to wait to understand what is going
on with my friend who broke my heart (though
i am apparently misunderstanding the situation
which i am not permitted to understand "right now".So, i am dealing with anxiety, depression and
fear and anger. The Rivotril is helping me a bit
and I am wondering if there is a chance for such
situations to let the bipolar disorder become stronger. But my dr. did not think an increase in lithium was necessary-- at least i've not the bloods back -- soon.I was asked (not by dr. - bless him) if i wanted to see a therapist. As you know i have complete contempt for them and think they are vultures. Sorry about that - some may be nice. It's just that i have as much education and common sense as they do, and i know my friend does too, but we part on the "lack of medication-as-a-cause" philosophy.
You may know that most of the great politicians and generals of all time were actually suffering from some affective disorder and were unmedicated.
Some interesting books on this "A Brotherhood of Tyrants: Manic Depression and Absolute Power" and another Swede author whom i cannot recall now, but will post when he comes to mind-it's a classic scholarly work on the subject.
Thanks for your patience in reading this stuff - i would appreciate feedback on emotional crisis and drugs.
