I guess that's why we clicked eh? lol!!! I'm BP2 and PTSD and I'm sure SAD. I usually click best with those that are BP as well or Depressed as that is usually the end of the scale that I sit at. But, I feel I am making friends here and I really don't know what their DX is because I haven't asked and they haven't offered. Anyway, after all that rambling (which I'm so good at), I agree with your theory. :)
AG (who is happy to have you as a friend) :)

I think I like people in different sorts of ways.
People on the bipolar spectrum are among the most interesting, profound, and often bewitching people I know. I often find the same with people with borderline tendencies. But then I concieve of borderline personality disorder as being a subset of the bipolar mood disorder spectrum.
But for a husband I chose someone with obsessive compulsive personality disorder (undiagnosed officially) who balances my flightiness nicely, no matter how much he annoys me at times.
And some of my very best friends are unipolar depressives. They can be both truly empathetic (because they've seen the depths) and wonderfully stable to my more erratic eyes.
My therapist, well there's no official diagnosis for it, but I think he's an old fashioned phlegmatic disposition. Nothing better for a therapist of mine.
Euthymic (sp?) people scare me, but I can admire them from a distance.
And I adore the schizoid/schizotypal/aspergerish people of the slightly geeky variety. They can be the most truly refreshing people I know. And often with the sort of wit I most appreciate.
I can dislike individuals of any diagnosis, I think. Although if I try hard enough I almost always find something I can like and cherish in them. I fear I don't always try hard enough.
Is there a diagnosis for the abrasive style of personality? Or do so many pdocs who make up the categories fall into it that they fail to see it as a personality disorder. I think I'm too southern not to be shocked and distressed by that style.

Dinah good post and points but what made me see this tread was when people who I am friends with in person as well as on the web started telling me their dx..or I would read it posted i was stunned by HOW many BP people I befriend. Too many to be chance and dxes I did NOT know of when I first formed the friendships....thats what strikes me. I have friends and like and dislike people in almost all areas....maybe 2 here 1 there some never having a dx...but the number of BP buds I have is....HIGH....creepy high lol...MAKES ME WONDER...Am I on to something.

I feel that I have clicked with you too. Are you BP? I'd like to think that you consider me a friend. No need to reply. I don't want to put you on the spot.

b2cAs someone who has been both hypomanic and depressed, I would definitely prefer the hypomanic but it tends to get me into a lot of trouble. That part of it I don't like.

Hey BC I am so not a depressove type anxious yes but not depressive...so maybe??? maybe....I click with BP dxed people because they are in a hypomanic state...I can always spot it before them and I am so goofy...we just click? Maybe too there is a connection with the depth of feelings felt. I don't know but it's kind of odd and THANKS on the thread :)
