I enjoy being around others like myself and find it easier to control myself and ill experience this since of what I'd call happiness. The more you learn about yourself the less you feel broken and that you're able to live your life. I've lost friends, girlfriends, and a wife to bipolar depression because they couldn't accept their differences than the majority of society.

I have the ability to learn and adapt. I don't judge people and find myself very accepting towards others regardless of who they are. I can love but it's very limited and usually only other people like myself. My biggest problem about falling in love with other bipolar people isn't them being bipolar around me it's how they feel about themselves. Society has this negitive aspect of people that's different than themselves. And because of that I've struggled to keep the people I love in my life. They want to be like everyone else which is like an apple that wants to be an orange. Failure has such a negative impact that can cause catastrophic consequences. Love yourself and accept who you are is the best advice I can give you.

Keep that God feeling and don't allow doubt to get you down. You're not alone.
Thanks for this. I agree with the essence of what you're saying. I can love myself even with this new part of me. The insane part has to do with the thoughts I had during my episode. I completely disagree with them when I'm balanced and I know they were delusions. I mentioned this before, but it really was like a dream where nothing made sense but you just act it out anyway because things dont need to make sense in a dream. Or maybe like a plot from a fantastical fictional movie thats really out there. Its hard to explain. I don't consider myself insane regularly, but I have no other words for the two days I was manic or mixed.
