I have had a diagnosis of BPAD for 14 years, but through getting trained as a counsellor and as a life coach I have gotten my BPAD under control. Because I am a life coach with first hand experience of BPAD, I can help other people with similar conditions. I will work with members of this website for free. So, please don't pass up this opportunity !!

I think the ideal state would be manic, fully manic, with enough social skills to keep my world from crumbling around me (now on my 4th marriage).

But the depression always comes with the censure and opposition. And once again I find myself starting over with a new job and new companions but with the same old me. A little older, not much wiser.

Thanks to my wife, the past 8 years has not seen a major depression, but that is mostly because she has sheltered me from the worst of the consequences of my actions. Frankly, I think she's a little 'off', too.

What was that vitamin & mineral mix in the video? Depakote (alone) ain't cutting it.

I'm not an official bipolar entrepeneur but have become quite an expert on it as I had to live with a daughter who had bipolar for 8 years. My youngest daughter was born with the cord wrapped around her neck at birth and the nerves that control mood, were crushed. For the first 8 years of her life, she was totally manic, except for an 11 week depression where she wanted to kill herself at 5 years old. She was agressive, destructive and totally out of control. It was a nightmare for me and my other children. She tore the family and my house apart and every day consisted of her attempts to stab us or injure us in some way. When she was almost 8, I let her go and live with her dad (we split up when she was 3). I went to work for a chiropractor who taught me all about the nerves at the occiput, or the base of the skull. We x-rayed her and found hers were crushed. I had studied everything I could about BP up until then and found nothing that could balance it out except that an imbalance was caused in dopamine and seratonin levels. I developed my own technique and began using it on her every fortnight, 4 times in a weekend. Within a year, she began to become normal. Now, 4 and a half years later, she has no mood swings. She is extremely intelligent, one of the most popular kids in school, and no longer has those nerves crushed as a recent x-ray showed. It seems she has maintained the benefits without the swings and it has been the biggest blessing for all of us. I can describe the technique if anyone is interested.

Thaks for starting this. It is about time I "came out". I am diagnosed "bipolar" but I am not sure about being highly effective! Luckily, I've never been depressed but have had two major and one minor manic episodes spread over twenty years. I often have creative periods when ideas come thick and fast and much faster than I can action them. With encouragement and attention I can always come up with an idea - and it's hard to understand why people find this so difficult! It's just like mental play.

This group is a great idea.
