I am bipolar but I enjoy it. I never get depressed and just have a hyper-manic mind. I never took any medicines. When I get too hyper I take long walks to burn off the energy. At 76 my brain has slowed down quite a lot and I no longer can swing to the very high levels. People take drugs to get high, while I get there very easily in the past. This gives me the ability to communicate with my spiritual mind. Thus I always have had arguments between my physical brain and my spiritual brain. It is almost like a two headed person two brains in one body. Of course that only happens in my dreams or when I bring myself up to a high which I no longer can do so now I must await the next dream for new data.
