Bipolar
One Experience
Depression
Not Sadness, but incapacition, darkness, and emptiness
Mania
Not Happiness, but creation, light, and fullness
Neither is good nor bad. Each is needed to understand the other.
Bipolar people are gifted with glimpses of how profound our existence is--how tenuous and spectacular. The ability of experience both allows one to experience the full breadth of life. But experiencing the extreme of either can be deadly.
