Hey, say you on moodgarden.org. I just started going there today. I am in real need of some answers for my own things. I’m nystressedgirl -21/F/USA. You should think about trying for publishing with all your written materials or an independent film using your life. It would be a pursuit of what you love and everyone in publishing and hollywood is moody and self-absorbed. You can run to your own tune through it all. Keep your chin up. I think a lot of teenage girls with this pain in the ass thing are reading you website everyday.
Seaneen, I first discovered your blog via the little furore you caused on the About BP site with your observations on the one-upmanship in the BP world. BTW, do you think there are people that are just wishing their docs would label them BP so they could access all those cheap mind altering substances, disability benefits and understanding compassion they think it would bring?
I never noticed the one-upmanship myself possibly because I leapt right from the top of the ‘normal’ world – Corporate CEO happily married, 2 children etc etc into the locked ward (nay, padded cell indeed) of the local looney bin with the BP label posted to my forehead hastily on the way in. Yup, straight to the top of a class I didn’t even know I was in.
Anyroad up, this is a very long way round of saying, when you feel up to it I would love you to post in your inimitable style your best BP moment or moments – as in celebratory. Those ones’ that make us really proud, that ‘normal’ folk, poor souls, can only dream of. In fact, I would love for the readers of the blog to contribute all of their best moments.
Let’s celebrate that joy without reason bit a little.
Wow, I never read about that and YEA, I didn’t drop into my disorder (BP1) until I was over 40 and almost had all my children raised. I’m 12 years into it now and have been incarcerated 6 times and hospitalized 4. I’m stable with a good doc now and managing quite well, so happy to have found an outlet for my own literary skills with blogging. I will track down that article you referred to at this point. Great how comments lead you to the truth! Awesome and thank you.
Seaneen-
You say all the stuff about manic-depression in your blog that I find hard to say in my writing or even to myself. It’s amazing.
Hi there
I’m Jess, from the states. I’m not manic-depressive, but I am struggling to get treatment for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. To add to the fun, I have a physical disability. Hope you don’t mind if I keep reading 
heyo ! i m 29 and i am still living the nightmare ! but god oh lord ! wat a grt nightmare ! the best part about the manic depression is the way you start seeing the world differently and the creativity that comes out of it. Dont worry, once u grow up you will know how to live your life with it. I am still learning. cheerio !
Testing, testing bipolar one too.
If this get’s through can you let me have an email address so I can write more fully in the knowledge it’s not in vain? I’ve tried to make contact twice in the last couple of days and failed – I’m of an age and disposition whereby computers remain an inscrutable mystery to me.
Found your gripping blog three days back when I chanced on the Gumtree creative writing link. Like you and many others of us who are Touched By Fire I seem predisposed to compose. With me it’s mostly poetry (doggerel?) and I’ve posted a couple just for the hell of it.
Your SLOAMD is by turns compelling, touching and harrowing. It’s also, to my mind, generously littered with flashes of genius where you cut right through to the chase and nail your meaning with force, eloquence and precision.
Realise this is a difficult period for you what with Vicky’s anniversary. Coincidently it’s a similar (though less loaded) situation for me with yesterday being a double (my mother’s tenth to cancer and a friend called Jane’s thirteenth,suddenly at age 21). Hope you are looking after yourself as best as you are able. The buddhists talk of extending Loving Kindness to all sentient beings, starting with oneself, which makes a lot of sense to me but is hard to always allow.
Keep up the good work and go well. Maddog
You remember that female GP in Stephen Fry’s documentary who managed her BD 1 with diet and reducing stress levels? I was wondering if that was an approach you use. Myself I hate the drugs so much that it is what I am endeavoring to run with.
Came across a book called “Potatoes Not Prozac” by Dr. Kathleen Desmaisons who maintains that some people are physiologically “sugar sensitive” and tend to crave sweet food. Often the diets that they follow lead them to experience wild mood swings amongst other undesirable effects that they would never of thought to attribute to what they were eating. She even goes so far as to call sugar a drug. What might make it particularly relevant to you is that she says there is a link to familial alcoholism. Her own father died from it and she says she scratched the same itch with pasta, cookies and ice cream, ballooning to 17 stone all the while enduring what reads like fairly pronounced mood disorder. Latterly she used a natural wholefood approach not only to sort herself out but to treat hardened alcoholics with a 92% success rate and few relapses. It all seems to slot together in to some kind of pattern – wholefoods and plenty of omega 3.
I have nominated you for a Thinking Blogger Award. All you have to do is see my post on it and click the link and it tells you what to do.
All the best

Oh rats, Sadgird got there first. I have also nominated Seaneen for a Thinking Blogger Award ……. No harm in being nominated twice though, is there?
I read one of the blogs “Accept Yourself- A Slightly Explicit but Neccessary Entry”…you have no idea how much I relate to what you shared. Very cool
Heeey I found your website by googling “answers” You see I have manic depression, Im 16 and I’ve got a physical disability. I think your brave for posting your thoughts online..I can hardly get mine down on paper! xx
Thank you for your insightful blog. I am not bipolar but have dealth with depression all my life. Of course, as a youngster I didn’t know it was depression but from this vantage point (60+ years old) I can see it and know that it runs in my family back generations. I’m sorry that you have such difficulty be am gratful that you share your feelings and write so well. My best wishes to you and I will continue to read your blog.
Did you know that you have a beautiful gift to show the world?

Hi there Seaneen! My name is Kathy and I from the US. I just found your blog and I am so glad I did. I have a daughter who is 15 1/2 who has been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder bi-polar type w/psychotic features. Let’s face it they really mean she’s bi-polar and also suffers from visual and auditory hallucinations. Shes’s been in the hospital 8 times just since September 2006. Anyway I am always surfing the web for sites that might help me to help Kayla. We do not have any support groups or organizations here in the upstate New York area where I live. Kayla needs to know she’s not alone. I know it feels that way to her and it also feels like that to me. could you email me sometime at katcantalk@hotmail.com I would really like that. I will be checking back with your blog very soon. Take care
Kathy
you are truly rare and star-filled…
Hello,
I came across your blog randomly while browsing from one website’s linklist to the next (I think it was via PC Bloggs maybe).
Anyway, I just wanted to say that it’s great to read about you. I’ve first been diagnosed with BP when I was 16 or 17, and to be honest I didn’t have a clue what that meant. I was supposed to go and see a therapist, but stopped soon because I didn’t think I was ill in any way. My life just was a bit more difficult sometimes, and I certainly didn’t want to be a loony.
I managed more than 15 years without doctors or therapy. Yes, it was up and down, and it took me all over the world. Not travelling, but just… ending up in odd places and odd situations. It’s true that I hate the downsides, but I also have to admit that I love the ups, and without being who I am I would never have had such an interesting life or seen so many places and things.
In January this year I started to see a doctor, and currently they think I have schizo-affective disorder. I’m not sure what the difference is, but hey.
I’ve been blogging about my daily life for several years now, but I’m not very consistent about sharing it – I publish and un-publish it regularly, depending on how self-conscious I feel about it.
Reading yours made me feel a lot less anxious about mine. It’s easy to forget that there are others out there when you’re caught up in your own life.
Take care!

Hey I use to live in belfast, had a lot of fun there. Im South African and immigrated to Costa Rica 15 years ago and Im Bipolar.
I try my best to exercise reguarily, eat healthy, and see my therapist. I choose not to take medication. I was doing so well, and now I am down again, its rather upsetting, my boss isnt too happy with me, calling in sick, missing appointments, staying away from my friends, angry at my boyfriend. I wonder when the tide will change, I want to be myself again.
Great website, and pretty blue yes.

Hello everyone!
hey girlie- just wanted to let you know i’m enjoying reading your blogs- it’s always a comfort knowing there are other people out there going through this with me- i was diagnosed bipolar three years ago after a very self destructive manic episode- then hospitalized again this past april- i’m amazed at how whacked out i can get and not even realize it- oh the stories i’ve heard about those twisted times- anyway, i’m trying to take my lithium and lamictal religiously and i’m starting to feel almost human, if i could just loose the ten pounds i’ve put on sitting on the couch for the last six months i just might feel normal again- thanks for entertaining me
xoxo hillary
Hey, just felt like blabbing about my problems. Have you ever tried the antipsychotic Geodon? My doc is changing my meds from Seroquel to Geodon, but the Geodon doesn’t seem to be doing it’s job. It’s driving me freakin nuts. First I was manic, then it turned into a mixed epsiode which had more manic symptoms than depressive ones, but now that the manic has calmed down a bit I’m more depressed than anything. But I still have a few of the manic symptoms to go along with it, which SUCKS, I’d rather have a full blown manic episode becuase then I would know that the hell I’m supposed to do to take care of myself. But when it’s a mixed, I don’t know that the hell I should do!! I hate this, I hate everything about myself right now, I can’t stand looking in the mirror without wanting to scream and cry, or jam a pen in my eye, or SOMETHING. I want to get the fuck off of Seroquel because the side effects are messing with my physical health so she decided to try Geodon. But Seroquel is the only thing that I feel normal with. It SUX. Please email me, I’d love to hear your input @ beyelerL22@gmail.com
Hi Seaneen,

Hi,
Just wanted to say i’m absolutely hooked on your blog. I started doing a bit of research on Manic Depression a few months ago (Long story not very interesting). Started to look a bit deeper into my past (Urghhhh, scared i’ll never get out of that particular quagmire!) and realised that what i considered perfectly normal behaviour may not have been all that civilised. Hey ho, we live, we learn. Anyhow please keep writing, your narration is addictive and it passes my days in the worlds most boring office. And it makes me feel a little less like i exist in my own timezone.
Love,
Lola
Hi Seaneen,
I came across your blog while searching for articles on the connections between epilepsy, which I have, and bipolar disorder, which my mother and her sister have (I only realized there might be a connection through something that my chemistry professor said in class). You are an amazing writer who gives a very real, fresh perspective on what it’s like to have bipolar disorder.
The very first thing I thought when I read your blog was that you must be a very brave person for writing about your personal experiences… if it were me I’d end up in tears before finishing any written piece.
I especially loved reading your posts about the connection between epilepdy and bipolar, and also the one titled ‘Ring your Bells, Crazies’. It’s very true that people can be very harsh to judge those who are mentally ill, saying that they don’t believe in mental illnesses or that they’re just attention seekers. Even my own dad didn’t truly believe in mental illnesses until my mom was diagnosed.. he preferred to believe that it could all be controlled through prayer, etc.
Anyways, that’s all I needed to say… all the best!

I can’t believe that you accept obesity and THIS as your life. I can’t believe that you publish that alleged “destigmatization” site under the guise of being enlightened.
There is more to this entire issue than you reveal with your “hey I’m obese but that’s okay because I’m enlightened and on meds and the meds are the only thing that work for me and you should accept that…” guise.
First of all, why accept things the way they are? Why not push for improvement, hell, even change? Why not protest the weight gain and demand better medication? Why not protest all this shit? Do you know how much drug companies actually spend on research? Look into it. It’s all about ads so people can open a magazine and think, hey, maybe I need a pill too…
Instead you are one of many who write about it and make it seem normal. You take away hope. You normalize mental illness and make it seem acceptable.
Young people are going to read your site and think that mental illness is cool. There is a fine line between explaining and normalizing. BPD is rare, really rare. Don’t write about it like it’s typical.
Eh? You seriously haven’t been reading the entries properly.

listen to my song love frost it’s about post mad pride shame.. remorse..
I’ve read your blog and I find it very interesting, I was diagnosed with manic depression or bipolar as “the professionals” call it.
I’ve been seeing CAHMs for over a year now since I attempted suicide, but unfortunately when I started worrying about my mental health they got the psychosis team on me who told me I wasn’t suffering from psychosis despite the fact I’m incredibly scared of the dark due to seeing ghosts, I saw the Queen mother on my stairs once, I find that quite amusing haha. I was at work the other day and I became very hysterical and I found it difficult to even press buttons on a till and scan useless electronic equipment, such as routers and monitors I work at PC World. so basically I may just be a hypercondriac but one second in tears then laughing my head off feeling drunk, whilst sober is a wee bit strange if you ask me. People often say to me “Amy, your so weird”
my reply is usually “weird? so I’m not normal, elaborate, tell me the meaning of normal tell me go on, we’re waiting”
and I don’t usually get a reply but I have actually worked out the meaning of normal, for years I have considered “Normal” an over used word with lack of meaning but one fine day sitting on the tills at work (yes I get left on my own for hours with no one to distract me from my own thoughts witch consume me) So I thought over the word Normal “normal, normal? NORMAL” i thought to myself and then it came to me, normal is patterns, a “normal” persons mind works in a pattern they do there little order, and they have routines where as a lunatic is in random order, in most things they do, brain patterns RANDOM, sense of humor RANDOM thoughts RANDOM! everything is upside down inside out wrong way, sideways, but it makes someone much more entertaining. who the fuck wants some boring wanker drumming on about what shoe size they are and what clothes they got from new look oh for fuck sake, how about we set fire to your new clothes and pay a tramp to piss on society and stick pins in politicians.
I am a rainbow of personality and that attracts the right sort of people, like artists and musicans, which okay I digress from the point I’m actully trying to get across… and thats because I can’t actully remember what im on about and its way to much effort to re-read what I’ve written wahh chaaa. so yes I am left undiagnosed with just the “yes there are obviously problems there” well there are problems everywhere so I’m going to sleep with this stranger, I’m more of a fucking doctor than they are, cure for sea sickness, sit underneath a tree and you’ll be all good.
Hi Seaneen
I’m having a bad angry day today. Some unhelpful halfwit friend of my mothers decided to wax lyrical on the evils of medication, and stated
“We all have mood disorders, luvvie”. I didn’t bite him, although it was close. What struck me as particularly wrong, was a 5o year old man using the term “Luvvie”.
Thought i’d write to say hi, don’t worry about replying, it’s just nice to know there are other people in the same boat. Supposed to be doubling my dose of lamotrigine tonight. can’t work out if i’m high or low anymore, but certainly not “Happy” whatever that is. hope you are having more luck than me. keep writing

So Seaneen, what are your thoughts on Scientology?

HELP ME
I have been on and off Seroquel for almost 4 years. Other than some serious weight gain (60 lbs. in 14 months), the effects for me were nothing short of a miracle – suffering from Cyclothymia (lower level Bipolar, mood disorder, hypomania and acute insomnia), this was a miracle drug for me. I had tried all of the regular suspects: lamictal, topamax, trileptal, trazedone, geodon, invega (which caused a pituitary mass/tumor), etc. the Seroquel was what worked. I took 900mg at night, and was able to step down after all the weight to 300mg a night. I went from a size 2 to a size 14. I could barely stand to look at myself in the mirror. I’ve been under the care of an endocrinologist here in Palm Beach County, FL, who has just put me on Synthroid (lowest dosage) due to an extremely low thyroid. So, in essence, I’m totally screwed up. I don’t know at this point if I’m coming or going! I feel crazy, sleep-deprived (last night was my first night without a Seroquel since moving to the Depakote 500mg). I feel like the Depakote is baby aspirin compared to what my body is used to/needs. I did not sleep AT ALL last night. I am sweating like a pig (side effect of the Synthroid), cold, shaking, unable to calm down, and I’m not supposed to be taking the Klonipin since we’re trying to control my weight – I’m getting married in December. After topping the scales at 202, I’m down to 180, but should be in the 130-155 lb region.
I can’t take the NO SLEEP thing. I am absolutely miserable. Not only is this affecting me – but, I’m angry, agitated, upset, up/down, and all over the place – and this is killing my fiance. He is VERY patient, but I can’t help but snap at him and push him away, and feel totally alone in my own body at this point. And no one understands. They say they do, but they’re not on a roller coaster in their head. I have used marijuana in the past to sleep (before being diagnosed), and am considering using this as a “help” to go to sleep… I can’t take staring at the ceiling for another 9 hours tonight. Other than that, my only option is to get out of bed and play Spades on Yahoo to keep myself busy. That always lessens the chances that I might catch at least an hour or two of sleep, so I try to stay in bed.
It’s easy for others to say “stick with it” and “you’ll feel better” but I feel like SCREAMING at them that they should go through a few days with no sleep, while upholding my job at a prestigious mutual funds clearing house. I don’t want to lose the love or the job of my life. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I’m looking for any alternative to what I’ve already taken… I don’t respond well to anti-depressants (seem to have the opposite effect on me – DEPRESSION!), and am at a loss for hope.

Can you take weight neutral, not addictive sleeping tablets like Zopiclone?
Hey,
I stumbled upon ur site tonight. I love the way you write. I could also relate to a lot of your stuff. Im a bit older than you, Im 33 and only was diagnosed with BP in Feb this yr, which was really confronting and I too sort various opinion until I have come to terms with the fact that it actually makes a lot of sense. When I reflect back on my 20’s I can see how unstable I was. Ive had issues with being addicted to the high, since being on medication Ive missed the high, the energy. I dont miss the sleepless nites, the sickening anxiety etc. Im on valprate and seroquel (ive put on heaps of weight) which is depressing. I Have swollen ankles (fluid retention from the seroquel). I go off the seroquel, and the weight starts to fall off me, but I start to fall apart emotionally, getting anxious, over sensitive, paranoid. I work full time, am a mum to my 11 yr old daughter so have a lot to lose. Im off to vietnam and cambodia in Feb or a holiday so need to stay on my meds till then. HEY Ive rambled.. crap I do that… ok I better dash, if you have any good chat rooms you know or other blogs or support forums can u let me know. And thanks for being who you are. being honest and upfront. You are helping reduce the stigma. Everyone in my life knows I have bipolar and some at work judge me for it.. (I know it) they dont get it… but F*ck em.. I say… if I pretend I dont have it, then I am not being true to me and not helping reduce that ugly stigma that I hate… hope to hear from you.. shell
Thanks for checking out my gallery, i admit i haven’t had much drive to do art lately outside of work. i have a painting in the garage that i started several years ago. it stares at me every time i get out of the van. maybe i should finish it up some time. i’ve been putting all my creative juice into the novel lately. when the mania first set in. my sketchbook turned into a manic journal. i wrote and wrote. like i had some kind of hypergraphia. mostly mad ramblings. philisophical stuff. i want to put some of that on there too so people can see what happened to me. i really got blind sided by this whole bipolar thing. i thought i was having a spiritual awakening. thought i was going to be some kind of prophet or apostle. course i guess that wasn’t enough for my overfiring brain. i ended up thinking that i was God. or at least god the father. an important distinction at the time. fortunately i survived the trip. pretty scary. i should have thought of the possibility that it could happen to me. my aunt has it. i didn’t realize you could be asymptomatic till adulthood. so obvioulsy i wasn’t crazy, it was just that there happened to be people trying to kill me. made sense at the time.
I know it’s terribly forward of me, but I think we need to meet.
My real name is ******************** I am emailing you from mu business account. I am a high Class escort, model and a dancer. However at heart, I am a musician and a photographer, but that’s not how I make my money.
I have led a similar life to yours: Moving around alot, ditching school, not going to uni, eating problems, body dysmorphic disorder, mentally interesting parents, alcoholic mother (in my case) loss of friendships due to episodes, etc etc.
I spent five months from November 2007 to March 2008 in Madrid. “How nice!” you say. But No. Because I didn’t leave my bedroom during that time unless I needed to go to the toilet or occasionally eat the entire contents of the kitchen.
I read your blog almost every day and I felt like we were friends, except I was too low and shy at that time to contact you.
I even read Brendan’s book, which I thought was fascinating, dark and beautiful. My friend Adoi committed suicide on Christmas day. I didn’t feel a thing.
It’s caught up with me now though, after all my other friends are moving on, I’m grieving alone.
I don’t want to tell you everything via email, I would love to speak to you in person, on the phone or even on messenger.
I think we may be able to help eachother.
I do not want to bond over bipolar, that would be pathetic, but we do have a common problem, and I think I know the answer.
Seaneen, you MUST STOP TAKING MEDS.
There is another way.
There may be a chemical imbalance in your brain, but if so, why don’t people from a perfectly normal background develop bipolar?
Why does nobody understand exactly how these meds work?
BECAUSE THEY ARE A PLACEBO!
The power of your own mind is making you better when you take them, because you BELIEVE in them.
Believe in YOURSELF. You are beautiful and talented and you need need this shit.
You may be using bipolar as a crutch to shield you from the reality of this cold and frightening world. Throw it away now.
You are in control of your mind. Please trust me Seaneen.
I know you don’t know the first thing about who I am, but I feel like you are a friend. It must be creepy, but I’m sure you ve encountered this strange one sided relationship already being a blogger.
People who develop bipolar symptoms are always bright and creative, but over sensitive to their surroundings. That is why we become depressed: So we do not have to deal with things. “I’m not paying my phone bill today, I’m too sad. I can’t, it’s not my fault”… and when we are high, nothing can hurt us because that’s how happy we are! Nobody can stand in our way! We are so powerful, shiny and perfect!
You have the voice the bipolar community needs to show them the light, you are a born writer, I love reading your journal. But do not be defeated!
If iI have overstepped the mark here please forgive me, it’s just becuase I feel we already know eachother. I’m only trying to help you…
Please get in touch.

Hello my name is Craig and I want to shake your hand. Can’t be bothered to say anything else – 1 too many cans.
Reading some other posts reminded me of this:
http://www.therapytoday.net/index.php?magId=24&action=viewArticle&articleId=63
I found it researching for my role in getting the psychological therapies waiting times up and running in Wales. In a room with 12 multi-professional mental health workers discussing data definitions, how I laughed.
great site. Just found it and plan to really make this the first blog I’ll follow in any real way.

I heard the Radio 4 Afternoon Play yesterday which was based on your experiences. Thank you for explaining the experience of mental illness in the way you have and | wish you everything you want from life
Been reading the blog for ages, Seaneen, and love it. I’ve just listened to the radio play this afternoon, and bawled my eyes out- possibly not helped by me being a bit low/ mixed right now- it was great. So genuine and touching, hope it opens loads of eyes about the realities of life with bipolar. I’ve sent the link to all my friends- even having known me for years, I still don’t think they really ‘get it’… All credit to you (and Louise) for such a great job.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH
Hi Seaneen, I am blind and have ocd and depression and having difficulty with site layout so hope I am writing this in the right place. Heard your interview on ouch and have just listened to play. Am absolutely knocked out by it and want to say thank you for your bravery and straightness.So so on the mark. Thanks Greg
Hello. I found your site while looking for the exact lyrics to Vivian Stanshall’s “The Cracks Are Showing.” He has been a hero of mine ever since I discovered the Bonzos over 30 years ago.
I like your site, possibly because of my own disability issues and challenges in apprehending reality, possibly because you show some depth of character, unlike a lot of young people.
Best wishes to you.
Hi Seanine,
I wrote a little in your “about me” section, but came across this one and decided to use it.
Most of your writers seem to be:
1. fairly young.
2. bipolar.
1. ‘This writer fits none of the above. I live half a world away, in San Diego, California. But I’m not unfamiliar with your country; I once spent five months in a hospital near Cheltenham, although long before you were born. I visited the U.K. a few years ago, and who knows, we may have passed each other on the street.
My wife is part Irish, as are millions of others in the U.S. I may have some Mongolian blood, which is interesting.
I know how young people think about most who are much older. But even though our bodies may be decrepit, our brains still work, and sometimes contain interesting bits. Let’s just say I’m approaching the end of my journey, just as you are starting yours.
2. I have long experience in living with or close to bipolars; this allowed me to write my book. Other than that, I’ve had a fairly ordinary life, with one exception that still sometimes wakes me up at night.
I loved reading your stuff. You have a unique ability to express your feelings, and are refreshingly uninhibited.
Keep writing!
Ed
is my blog crap?
Hey. I just wanted to say that I like your blog a lot and it’s great to read the experiences of another bipolar person. If you don’t mind, I’d like to link to your blog from mine ( http://operationpsychout.wordpress.com ) .
