I'm crazy, of course, but it is probably a combination of bad genes and a bad childhood. But, I have to say, for someone with my varied diagnoses, I am really pretty stable. Of course, I take pills, and have a lot of outside support, but I know other, vanilla bi-polars - and a few in the lifestyle - who are just nuts. I consider that to be using your diagnoses as an excuse for bad behavior, which I am opposed to. Crazy or not, I am accountable for my actions and choices. And I choose to get beat on. And, when I'm getting it - I'm unowned now, so not so much - I am more stable yet. When I was trying to go to nursing school while being non-medication managed, I would ask my owner at the time to beat me before a big test. The endorphins it released would carry over to the next day, and I could take my test calm and relaxed. How do vanilla people duplicate that, unless they run?
