So I've been doing some thinking. Along time ago my sister and I ponder the possiblity if Bi polar disorder was simply the next step in the evolounary chain. Why would we think such a thing? Well Bi Polar's seem to share the common traits of above average intellegence and a marked sense of creativity. Now where it gets interesting is when doing some research on line on some serious psychiatric sites. We're talking the american psyc assosiation, mayo clinic, etc, you know reptualble sites. There seems to be a researcher, I can't remember her name but I wanna call her Lisa. So anyways Lisa's been reasearching the exact same theory that my sister and I have pondered. I mean really, are we at the start of the next evolunary step it's just the bugs aren't worked out of the system? I dunno. But it's something to think about. As such I'm going list some famous people who suffered from Bi Polar, and the list has some impressive members.
So in no particular order:
1-Kurt Cobain
2-Ozzy
3-Scott Weilend (stp)
4-Winston Churchill
5-Van Gogh
6-Carrie Fisher

8-Beethoven

And that's just the tip of the ice burg. Why is this post important? Cuz lately I've been kicking my ass pretty hard about things. These people remind me that there is hope, that is possible to achieve even when the odds seem impossible. For that I am thankful, it gets me through some days. So don't classify by illness, classify by ability :)
ability is so much more important than the diagnosis. it is just a word to label those who are just like you and me...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Di 100%. And the beauty of it is, there are so many other famous bi polars out there. We really are something special, it's just hard to remember that all the time, like when your on a low. Anyways happy to see you on my page :)
ReplyDeletegod that was inspiring; thanks Manda - I think I needed to hear that :)
ReplyDelete*PS I think our mucho lovebug Trent Reznor might be on that list; I have to agree though: The only thing that sets us apart from animals is our ability to THINK and make thoughts - unfortunatly the mind isn't always a happy playground: I think you're right that when a little more spiritual or intellectual (or whatever you wanna call it), we might crave something more than what IS - :) I can't explain it; it's like we're advanced souls in a way and EARTH IS FUCKING DEPRESSING IT'S NOT JUST US hehehe - There are truly a lot of outside influences that don't help; we must "care," or a lot of life's shyt wouldn't pile on us. Oop a ramlble for another day hehehe :) I'd love to hear how your research is going though; let me know if you'd like any assistance with that; sounds like fun!!
Yay! I'm so happy to see you here! I miss you tons girl! I've had my thoughts about our hunny Trent aswell :D Anyways, I'm gonna go check out your page now :) Talk to you soon babe!
