for anyone with bipolar I'm sure you've dealt with Mania in some way shape or form through the years. I have been diagnosed as Bi Polar since I was about 16 or so. I rarely get mania .. or at least I didn't

think I did. I have notices specially since my sister in law & her son / my nephew I took care of constantly & played with that I've felt more mania type symptoms. I guess due to having to take care of Joshua

and spend time with both him & his sister Hannah when they were here helped 'burn off' for lack of a better word my manic energies? I'd play dolls with them; we'd RP/Pretend all sorts of things. It was like I

a kid with them only in a grown-up body. I've often wondered if that is PART of the reason I role play a little in SL. Due to my mania feelings. I am going to I think though have to talk with my doctor

see if it's Mania.. or perhaps something else with what I've been experiencing in the last few days. I've always had a 'little' personality if that makes sense - I've always enjoyed coloring, playing with dolls

etc. I don't recall to my knowledge ever plopping down on the floor next to my husband & doing a dolls hair and talking to him like I was a child. I'm aware of these 'states' for lack of a better word but IDK

if.. it's due to mania - and not exerting my kid side due to josh & hannah being gone .. or if perhaps I just realized I have DID? I am writing this and asking for lack of a better word cuz my motherh ad DID

I guess I'm asking for advice/suggestions. Have you ever noticed a time be it on my little or what not just with interactions with me if I've acted .. different then my norm? I ask if it's not a positive exp

lemme know as well just don't be mean bout it intentionally - we all know I can go bitch lol that I think is just a combo of female + off balance hormones.. but I never really considered it to be anything else

My mom had as i said DID She had basically.. herself; a teen-ish state, a little state, then.. Mary Mary was cruel; mean; etc. Think Mommy Dearest Drunk & on Drugs.. I only dealt with hera few times & the one

time I recall her clearly is when she made me break down into tears at Amistar { a casino / hotel } when she told me if I didn't give her the money {to gamble} She'd break my damn ankle / foot to get it - as

it was in the shoe I was wearing I guess she knew it was there cuz my mom clearly told me to keep it in my shoe & keep ahold of it don't let her get it. BUT She'd also always told me to just listen to Mary .. I

think even my mom & her other alters were scared of Mary.. Anyways.. umm yah hides now cuz I'm feeling super shy atm

There's a huge difference between DID and Bipolar. Mania is more akin to ADHD than DID, too. DID is literally your mind has split itself into separate full identities to protect itself from trauma

Writing with Neurodiversity - Dissociative Identity Disorder - Di... I wrote that up about DID

Yessum I know but that is why I asked I assume it's more Mania then DID But I have been diagnosed with Borderline Disorder so its within the strange realm of possiblities
