Ideas of What to Write

"Bipolar Speaks" is the VOICE of all bipolars and those with mental illnesses. Spread Awareness and speak your mind! Be Raw, Real, and Honest. It is time for those with mental illnesses to step it up and show society and others how we really feel! Stumped on what to write, Think about these ideas:

1. Write a letter to a family member or friend. Let them know how you feel (if they upset you). Let them have it! Get your frustrations out!

2. Are you married? Maybe your spouse doesn't get you. Maybe they are not as supportive as you hoped. Say how you feel, tell them what you want from them.

3. What do you think about the Stigma that is attached to mental illness? Tell society how you feel. Educate them. Believe me, they will read it here.

4. What about your deep personal feelings? How do you feel about having a mental illness? Are you truly accepting your diagnosis? Can you work? Are you the same person? Let it out.

5. Have you thought about suicide? Have you attempted suicide? What were you feeling? Where were you? Do you cut? How does that make you feel?

6. Do you hallucinate? What are your feelings at that moment? Does this bother you? Do you hear voices? Does this scare you? How do you feel experiencing all these things?

7. Do you wish you weren't bipolar? Do you wish that you didn't have a mental illness? If so, why?

8. Are you 100% accepting of your diagnosis? What have you done to gain peace?

9. Do you feel that Bipolar is considered a disability? If so, why?

10. What are your symptoms? When were you diagnosed? What type of Bipolar do you have?

11. Who pissed you off? Did you confront them? If not, do it here. What did they say? Do? Who were they and are you still talking to them?

12. Did you lose a friend or family member over your illness? If so, why? How do you feel about that?

13. Are your friends there for you? If not, how do you feel about that?

14. Does your co-workers know about your bipolar? Would you tell?

15. Are you hypersexual? Did you act out in a provocative way? If so, how? With who? How many? How does that make you feel.

16. When you are manic, do you argue with people? Do you fight? How do you feel when you do this?

17. Do you experience more of depression? Mania? Or are the both symptoms balanced out?

18. Do you shop until you drop? Have you gone bankrupt? How does that really make you feel?

19. Do you feel like running away and just being left alone? If so, explalin.

20. Do you feel lonely in this world? Why?

Remember, YOU can always be "Anonymous." No one has to know who you are. That is what is so GREAT about this blog - you can scream and shout, and be heard!! Please feel FREE to comment at this post for some fresh ideas on what to write about. We can use your help and creative input.

I "had" a friend once who insisted that being bi polar was nothing more than pre menstural blahs. That was it. The rest was just my distorted version of what was going on because I wanted to think this was a real illness. My labels of convience. Don't you just hate ignorance and worse than that...the unwillingness to learn?
