Omg thank you. You have described how I am perfectly. You are so much better with words than I am. I totally get it. I am aware of my brain and as I rapid cycle my brain is really annoying most of the time. Sending massive hugs my friend. Xxx

So good to hear from you Jon. Just because you have not been on social media, doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of you. Glad you mentioned you're planning on doing some more to your next 'book' I was wondering about that. To hear you are feeling lighter in mood is good but what is also good, is to hear your understanding and insight into how you are doing. Insight is your best friend in dealing with Bipolar, understanding its trickery is paramount to maintaining some stability. You are so good at explaining something which is so hard to fathom, which changes almost imperceptibly. Great to see your smile now and again in your vlog 😍sending love xx
I've been thinking about you also Judy. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on the vlog. I have been struggling with understanding the nuances in me and my bipolar for a while but I'm definitely getting there and it's important for me to recognise, celebrate and hopefully get other people to realise 'there ain't a thing we can't handle.... EVENTUALLY!!!!'
Hope you and all the family are well!!
Catch you soon

The other day i watched an interview with Jeffrey Darmer.
I cant relate to his types of intrusive thoughts about wanting to kill people..
But what i was thinking was how amazing he was for being able to admit to his crimes, and how he tried to stop killing people, but the intrusive thoughts just wouldn't stop.
He also seid in the interview that he was glad that he got put in jail for life because he was aware of his brain enough to say that if he didn't get caught, he would have continued killing..
After watching this..
I thanked god, that i didn't have intrusive thoughts like that.
And like you i am also very aware of my own negative and positive thoughts..
But after watching things like that..
I can't help but feel glad that i dont have thoughts like his,
That make me want to harm others..
My point is..
That id rather battle with my types of intrusive thoughts,
Then his..
And i actually felt sad for him..
And greatful that my darkest thoughts weren't as bad as his.
Sorry if this is a weird comment..
I guess im just weird.
Oh well..
Thanks for your honesty about yr struggle with un wanted thoughts..
I wish everyone could find the courage with in them to tell others about what they are going through in their head..
It may be a better place for it..
I've spoken with a number of people over the years about their struggles with extremely serious intrusive thoughts and voices it is very frightening to hear and very real within the person who's fighting against such horrendous thoughts and voices. my approach was always to get them to acknowledge these thoughts and voices are both real and fake at the same time. Like many other things that we all have to deal with, with or without mental health issues we must work hard to 'ACCEPT' things for what they are and then work even harder to 'REACT' in the best way possible. Very hard to do but if I can do it then anyone can.
We have to own our own illness and more importantly own our response to it and push our recovery forward!!
KEEP FIGHTING 😉🥊🥊
