Hi ryan312,

I am bipolar, hence MY dual nature. My mania/depressions are very closely associated with faith/absence or faith, being drawn to good/drawn to bad, etc. While perhaps I am not drawn to the samw dark evil things you spoke of, when I have been depressed I have been destructive, drink way too much, swear (at my children), fight, am very unhealthy...it's like I lose my faith in God or anything good, and have no will to do anything good. WHen I come out of a depression I always have looked forward to a 'spiritual experience' (in fact when I was last manic I had a BIG mystical experience), and have spent my time being close to God, tried to be good, work on the good in myself, etc. A big split for me. I have always described myself as very Jeckle and Hydeish.
