Why is being bipolar considered hip?
 
A few years ago, very few had even heard the term "bipolar". More knew about the old term "manic–depressive disorder", which was the name of the possession before it become hip.

Rarely is the question asked: why do millions of teens suddenly think it's cool to be bipolar? Read my lips: there is nothing "cool" in having mood-swings and being manic. It's just as simple as choosing to keep the same mood as you had five minutes before. Imagine how the traffic would work if everyone switched from right-hand to left-hand traffic randomly.

And no, medical treatments is not the answer. Christian Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) have proven that psychiatric drugs make you gay. All you need is faith, willpower and staying away from sinners.

"Bipolar", "ADD", and "Lactose/Gluten intolerant" are all buzz words being pushed by the liberal politically correct media. If you are not using newspeak you can just say: 'Bitch', 'bad', and 'ungrateful for the food that God has provided'.

Amen to that, friend. The truth is, the ultra-liberal Demoncrats backed by big jewery are hellbent on creating more and more categories of "victimhood" in this country. They won't be happy until every American is a sickly, limp-wristed queer. :angry:

My mood is always the same and I never needed any medication for that.

Today's parents refuse to do God's bidding by properly raising their children. Instead they have gay orgies all the time and use medication as substitute for raising their children. But it doesn't work that way! Either you properly raise your children, or you and your children will burn in Hell for all eternity!

AMEN.

It also gives the liebral socialists the ability to drug the public into submission so that they don't notice the destruction of America.

Great guide there, Cranky Old Man :thumbsup:

I am now writing an internal strategy paper for CCHR, about proper parenting when a child chose to have a mood swing. A firm beating is what works. Repeat until the kid keep the right mood.

Sometimes I get annoyed when I, for example, hear liberal queers trying to make their lack of character a diagnosis the rest of us should feel sorry for them for.

Sometimes I get happy when I, for example, read the Bible.

That doesn't make me bi-polar. Having emotions that adapt to what happens in our lives is natural and normal. When will these liberals understand?

Anybody who is right with God doesn't need medication.

Bipolar is not hip, cool or nice. It is not something you choose, it is just chemicals in your head. A mania is caused by an overload of the happy-hormone dopamine, and a depression is caused by a lack of dopamine and serotinine.


But of course both episodes can simply be prayed away, since God can manage those chemicals. You will be fine, as long as you don't get psychotic in the mania and forget all about Our Lord Jesus Christ. :jesus:

Of course you kids all think it is hip to 'make believe'. Same reason all you EMO punks listen to that black metal garbage, cut yourselves, put on that clown makeup and murder babies. You all want to scream out 'Look at ME!! See how important I am!!!' Well I have news for you bucko, no one cares about you. Everyone cares for God and Only God. If you read your Bible, you'd understand how you should only worship him and not some crazy stage performer.

Ewww, black metal. Even the name says it's black, and therefore bad. Just look at those band names, why aren't those punks alarmed when they hear about "black funeral" or "demoniac" :thumbdown: (I have no idea where those bands came from, but wikipedia was sure of help:pirate:)

And just for your information; I really don't care about popularity or make up, or premarital sex (murdering baby's? is that still allowed?:wacko:) but they DID got me hospitalized against my will in a mental asylum for having a mania. I got many terrible pills (seroquel, temazepam, etcetera), and it went on for months until I finally woke up of the godless illusions of psychosis. Then, I returned to the True Lord; God, and His son Jesus Christ. I love them with all of my heart and worship them ever since.
I've been off the meds since I was released from the hospital, and only on the prayers, with as a result; no more depressions or psychosis, only a happy life.

I saw a commercial on TV once for that 'etcetera'. Isn't that the one where it makes you have explosive vomiting during meals but makes your breath smell nice?

All anyone needs is faith in the Lord and a willingness to follow His Word and all your ills will be cured through prayer. You just have to be patient.

You guys are so ignorant.

I was diagnosed with manic depressive disorder when I was thirteen, and it's been hell.

Goodness gracious. I actually seldom tell people about it because it's so "cool" to have it. Yeah, I suppose you're right, in that people now romanticize disorders, but claiming that you can just pray it away is absolutely ridiculous, and sort of mean.

There is such a thing as a euthymic state, you know. It's not always extreme moods. However, when manic or depressive episodes are present, they suck. And usually when I'm manic I take lithium and it helps, but I couldn't imagine how much worse it'd be if my parents beat me up like you say they should. In fact, I'd probably have a panic attack if they did and wow that would probably kill me I don't even wanna think about that.

When people are manic, they're really really happy or irritable and they make quick and rash decisions and usually when I'm manic I don't sleep or eat a lot or if I had my way I wouldn't sleep or eat at all. And I've missed countless days of school because of this and once I crashed my car and also once I punched a mirror and literally danced in the little shards of glass, barefoot.

When people are depressive, they're really sad and lonely and they feel worthless and when I'm depressive I always feel like I'm the textbook definition of crazy and alone even though I'm not and sometimes people contemplate suicide and it's really not fun at all.

There's in between, such as hypomanic and hypomanic isn't really bad because you just feel really euphoric and sometimes it's nice and productive but there's also and mixed state which is manic and depressive at the same time and that's really bad and not fun at all.

Bipolar is not hip, and anyone that thinks it is is almost as ignorant as you. Just in a different way.

Thinking that it's just mood swings is really dumb and rude and if you're going to talk about this mental illness like you know everything about it without having hands-on experience then at least read the wikipedia page or something.

BUT, where you're wrong is that medical treatment and therapy are the answer. Praying isn't going to wipe away the manic or depressed feelings. But different chemicals and pills and stuff can reverse the effects of an episode and therapy can help you figure out your triggers to help stop it and.. and you guys are making me mad. Why don't you just leave these subjects alone? Science obviously isn't your best bet, so why even talk about it? Why belittle things that people don't even choose to have and wish they didn't have? Making them feel worse?

Rather than trying to blame your behaviour in science why don't you think about how Jesus could be helping you right now; I've only you were not so self involved?

Who knows: perhaps it was all your parents fault for being dirty heathens. Are they muslimbs?

Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Friend, being retarded like you are is a choice. God makes everyone in His image. Therefore, everyone is born Perfect®. It is what you do next that makes you what you are today. Do not blame your stupidity on anyone but yourself. God can forgive you, provided you are willing to let Him in and get the Demons out of your colon.
Stop with the excuses, pray to Jesus for True Salvation™.

But.. it is science. It's the chemicals in my brain. They're are screwy and that is definitely not a conscious decision that I made because not only is that impossible, but it'd also be the stupidest decision ever because this is not a nice thing to have. I don't believe I'm that self-involved; I'm just not overly religious.

No, my mom's English and my dad's American and their origin certainly has nothing to do with it. If anything, it's partially genetics. However, I can blame my mother for my panic disorder.

I'm not retarded. It's a mental illness. (Retard is such a mean word. You shouldn't use it.) This is most definitely not a choice; it's not like I said "hey today and for like four more weeks let's pretend that everything makes me really really mad or maybe happy or sad and do really stupid rash potentially life threatening things until eventually my parents just get me hospitalized". Or maybe "haha let's pretend like I'm really sad and lonely and feel like I'm all alone when really I'm not oh and by the way I'm stupid and no one even likes me and I should just lock myself in my room for forever because no one needs to see my ugly face or be in my stupid presence". No, it's just like your brain shifts and everything's weird and that's just how you feel and act and I can't explain it but I don't have to because it's not like you could understand. It's a brain, and you can't control your brain. You can't say to your brain, "oh today we're not going to send blood to our pinkie toe I wonder if it'll fall off". Your brain will send blood everywhere automatically and you have no control over it.

It's not stupidity, and it's not my fault. It's no one's fault. I'm not going to pray to god because I know that won't help.

Sure you are retarded. You come here complaining like a five year old girl, you are given the cause and the solution yet it is still not good enough for you.
God does not care how ugly you are (though ugly people often are not allowed in the LBC Cathedral, it looks badly on the Pastors when the TV cameras pan the audience).
Stop blaming your problems on a rattling brain. Accept responsibility. Get right with Jesus. Stop acting all retarded and self centered. It is not all about you, it is about God.:innocent:

When I was young, we used to just lock you people away until you snapped out of it and got with the program. How I miss the good old days!

Re: Why is being bipolar considered hip?
 
The joos have worked hard over the last 50 years to convince as many Americans as possible that they are some kind of a victim, so that they can claim "it's not my fault" every time they sin.

The truth is, sin IS your fault. Ever since Eve tricked Adam into taking a bite of that apple, sin has been your fault. God had His own son temporarily killed to wash your filthy sins clean with His blood! Can you imagine the love there? I guess you can't.

The retardeds are no different. If they would just give their lives over to Christ Jesus, He would wash the crazy right out of them!

I'm not complaining. I just want you guys to understand that it's not as simple as you're making it out to be.

I'm not ugly. But I think everyone feels like they are at times. That's just really amplified during a depressive episode.. well, for me, anyway.

Acting? You guys are so ignorant it's not even funny. I'm not self-centered, however, my problems are about me, just like your problems are about you. Pretty sure a headache or a popped balloon or spilled coffee or whatever, isn't about god. It's just about you. And that doesn't make your self-centered, it just makes it your problem. And if you did spill your coffee, would you pray to god for him to clean it up for you, or would you grab a towel and a mop and clean it up yourself?

And then we discovered that that was not the solution to our problems and we modified and fixed our mechanisms.

Well, my friend, it's my body's fault. I didn't say "I'm going to be bipolar now" and then magically become bipolar. It doesn't always have to be somebody's fault. Sometimes things just happen.

I don't understand how chemical imbalances in your brain is sinning.

Quote:

I beg to differ. And it's not being crazy (although I have been psychotic before), it's just a disorder. Sometimes it's even quite mild. But I digress; religion cannot fix a physical problem. Maybe if you believe in god then you can place your trust in him and solve a few mental problems or something, but there's no way in hell that he can fix the amount of chemicals in your brain. That's something that medication and possibly therapy can fix (well, not even "fix". Mostly just "fix" the symptoms.) So.. yeah. And also, it'd be really nice if you'd refrain from using the word "retard" because it's really not a nice word and it's really disrespectful and just plain rude. So. Yeah.
