I also think bipolar suffering is much worse than childbirth. I've had three vaginal births, one of which was without pain meds. I actually enjoyed the med-free birth to the other two- fewer complications and there is a euphoric high you get with a natural birth. That's not to say that I wasn't in pain, but my body over road it with endorphins. Bipolar pain is much much worse for me. Maybe because it is current and my births were 18, 20, and 22 years ago. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Caplyta 42 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Ativan .5 mg 2x/day Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

I can see that perspective on free will. If you're into the quantum nature of things and a time doesn't really exist perspective technically everything is predetermined because the past and the future are also the now. Ahhh! My brain hurts. If you go with an outlook like that and then layer in a holographic universe perspective you can still interject free will. In that case you'd just need to know how to alter the hologram as opposed to people just Quantumly choosing paths that have already been laid out for them.l and are either 'on' or 'off'. So it would be the difference in being the creator vs. the creation. Some schools of thought believe change and free will can only be accessed outside of space and time. This is kind of in line with the above. Mostly I think like you I'm not willing to yeild to a defeatist predetermination attitude. I think we have a path and we mostly walk it, but we don't always have to stay in our lane. |
