I get really annoyed with articles like this, these are the reason that it's so difficult for people with bipolar to have to deal with the usual bigotry, fear and persecution that are so prevalent in the UK


ok this was written by some one who apparently knows nothing about the disorder nor could be bothered going to the effort of taking 5 min's to read about it

"Robert Pattinson claims he is manic-depressive


Published: July 09, 2010 Carolin W.



Robert Pattinson is the object of desire for thousands of girls around the world. The sexy ‘Twilight’ star has oodles of fans following his every step, with many keen for an opportunity to see, touch or speak to the actor in person, let alone the ultimate dream come true: a date with Robert Pattinson.


Admiring the 24-year-old English actor from a distance might be a cleverer option,"

SO YOU HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO HOOK UP WITH ANY ONE WITH BIPOLAR? THANKS FOR SHARING THAT
......................................................
as Robert has recently revealed he believes he is manic-depressive, a condition he feels has a huge negative impact on his relationships.



While he has never been officially diagnosed, Robert is convinced his mood swings and bouts of depression mean he suffers from the illness, otherwise known as bipolar disorder.



People suffering from bipolar usually experience mood swings like going from completely irritated to sad and then returning to normal"
.....................................................
OH REALLY? WELL IM SURE GETTING IRRITATED NOW AND ITS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING BIPOLAR....SAD IS THAT ALL IT IS... WELL GEE WHY DIDNT SOME ONE TELL ME THATS ALL IT WAS, BECAUSE
THAT WILL SURE MAKE IT SO MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND NEXT TIME I FEEL LIKE IM SINKING INTO THE PITS OF HELL OR SLICING UP AN ARM. WAY TO GO FOR HELPING WITH UNDERSTANDING IM SURE THIS WILL HELP LOTS OF FOLK AROUND BIPOLAR SUFFERERS UNDERSTAND IT SO MUCH MORE, BECAUSE HEY THEY JUST DONT SAY "SNAP OUT OF IT" OR EVERY ONE FEELS DOWN EVERY NOW AND AGAIN" QUITE OFTEN ENOUGH TO US
......................................................
"This does not happen on a daily basis, as there are periods of normal mood in between. Along with unusual shift in mood, a person also feels low on energy, activity levels are low and so is the ability to carry out daily chores. Bipolar is one of the hardest mental illnesses to diagnose and treat. An interesting fact about bipolar is that many of its sufferers abuse alcohol, prescription medication and illegal substances."

IM SURE FEELING AN UNUSUAL SHIFT IN MOOD NOW .... THERE IS ALSO A LOT OF FOLK OUT THERE ABUSING ALCOHOL/SCRIPTS/AND ILLEGAL DRUGS THAT ARE NOT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, BIPOLAR, THERE IS ALSO A LOT OF FOLK WITH BIPOLAR THAT DO NOT ABUSE ANYTHING... WAY TO GO SPREAD THE FEAR


......................................................

....................................................


SO IN SUMMARY SHES TELLING PEOPLE THAT.... IF YOU DATE A PERSON WITH BIPOLAR YOUR AN IDIOT .... THAT THEY ONLY GET A LITTLE BIT SAD .... BUT THAT THIS IN TURN CAUSES US TO TURN INTO SOME RAGING DRUG CRAZED ALCOHOLIC AND ALL THIS MISINFORMATION BECAUSE SOME PONCE (PROBABLY LOOKING FOR PRESS) JOKED THAT HE MAYBE, MIGHT BE, POSSIBLY BIPOLAR.... OR NOT...........GEE NICE JOB LETS GIVE HER A PULITZER PRIZE


LIKE ITS NOT DIFFICULT ENOUGH DEALING WITH THE PREJUDICES AND FEAR AGAINST BIPOLAR AND THE TOTAL LACK OF COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISORDER

Vibrating draws

so..... it all started with a confusion over the cable internet service

his father rather charmingly getting our service cut off by neglecting to mention on the phone that he was blah blah blah the II not blah blah blah the III

resulting in the service getting cut off

the only way to resolve the issue (according to this company) was to have a cable guy come out and turn us on via the out side box

(now i see where your going with the connexion between Vibrators and turn on .. but no sorry its not a fun kinky story, just a day in the life of a boring average house wife)

any way i was informed that this guy would be coming into the house as well to, check the modem, so like any normal average house wife i tidied up paying close attention to around the modem... which was located at the top of the bed on a ledge... incidental the same place i kept the Vibrator ...welllll its a handy ledge what can i say

(yes get over it us old buggers enjoy sex too)

figuring to remove any possible humiliation i swept it off into the draw, after turning it off of course

(no i hadn't interrupted my daily routine to indulge in a spot of fun the damn thing has a hair trigger if you as much as touch the base it sets it off)

so...the house was nice and spick an span

(or at least everything was hidden under the bed in cupboards or swept under the carpet)

it was near time for the cable guy, time to make sure iv got enough cash to pay him, grab the cash set it on the stand ready... sweep all the odd sods change and loose dollars into the draw, being careful not to set of the vibrator, seriously don't want that busy buzzing whilst hes here.

so............ cable guy appears

i show him the nice pretty twinkly lights on the modem

(only four because bloody things turned off)

he decides he has to change the modem too.. for which he has to sprawl over the bed to do of course... thank god i hid the vibrator there's no way he could of missed it other wise

he was incidentally a very nice fella

nice fella or not though the further 30 min's he had to spend sprawled across my bed in front of the lap top, talking to the damned cable company to get them to understand they had to bloody turn it on at their end, his presence was beginning to agitate me, (i wanted my house back, i hate having to deal with people)

finally he says "let me get off the bed and we can get the paper work signed" (something I'm sure he doesn't get to say to most customers)

papers signed i had over the cash which of course he doesn't have change for urrrrrrrrrrrrgh by now I'm really wanting my house back, so plodding over to the draw i go to rummage for change... completely forgetting about the vibrator and setting it off in the process... with the cable guy at my side... wearing a very, very, very huge grin i might add

did you know its very, very difficult to finalise a cable contract with a vibrator's buzzing in the draw... the noise gets amplified by the loose change held there in... and its very off putting when the guys standing there grinning like a Cheshire cat that ate a canary and all the while his eyes are riveted on the buzzing draw

............................

anyway just thought id share that little disaster with you, I'm not sure why

Stephen Fry

iv been wondering lately about this odd compulsion to cyber stalk poor Mr Stephen Fry(other than the obvious fact that hes one of the few celebrities that actually has anything interesting to say)

well ok cyber stalk is possibly too strong a term to use

but certainly a desire to keep an eye out for his twitters as they get sent out, and check out his sites
(no the term "sites" is not a euphemism)

after all its not really that like me to get all that worked up about celebrities so how could i rationalize it

then it struck me .....

its bloody food ... im equating the poor bugger with food lol

no not because the name reminds me of a bloody good fry up

but because his posts are usually around midnight my time

thats around my lunch time
(yes im that screwed up )

i have a terrible habit of forgetting to eat

especially when i get to painting or working online

and Stephens' tweets around the appropriate time of the night

are more regular than a Buddhist monk on an All Bran diet

very, very convenient

(well..... its the only picture iv ever did of a buddha and i couldnt resist adding it here)

so, although he'll never get to read this ... my thanks to Mr Stephen Fry
for your tweeting and reminding me its time to get off my ass and eat

of course this means i can also blame him when i start to gain too many extra pounds

hmm if he ever stops tweeting will i just fade away
