Manic/Psychotic episodes

hello. well i have bipolar the worst kind there is. i have been to that point. how i dealt i got one hell of a best friend who always been there, and pretty much the only who was able to get me to calm down. it took me along time, and a open mind to get where i am now. i learned when i need to walk away from different things or people specaily when they get me to that point. i learn that all i can do is express myself and its up to them other person to do with it as they want. if it's not what i want it's ok. i also learn that i needed to forgive others, mostly myself. and not to hold onto things. i used to think having bipolar was so bad, but now i look at it, as a blessing in a weird way. i am totally different then who i was before i gotten it. i am a better person. but when i get really mad at someone i play vedio games, like shooting games. yeah this help me since i can;t shot the real people.. i also listen to different music and write. writing has been a good therpy for me. but i can say here its been like 6 to 7 yrs and i am off all meds. i did have two outburstes. the last one was really bad. push me to the limit, and was a big test for me. you also should learn at a time you don't deal with anything or conficts. like at 6 pm i tell people ok this is not happening catch me later like another day. knowing when it's not a good time to deal with people. but i also suggest for you to watch joyce myer and ed young. even if you aren't a christina. they have really good leasons on their shows. and so does dr phil. i would also look for chat rooms as well that have to do with your illness. big plus being able to talk to someone who has the same problmes.
