Amp,

Hey, Samantha pointed this thead out to me (This is Eddie) Samantha's husband.

First off I would just like to say that this is a very interesteing topic to me since I have be a diagnosed BP MD for over 15 years. I took the meds roads also in the beginning and after time have learned to tell when my "moods" are switching and take actions to help. Sounds odd but the best thing I have found is Light and Music and with them have remained med free for 10 years. (Don't get me wrong, I still have the ups and downs but learning to control them in the beginning of the signs has prevented them from being full manic or depressed states.

I use full spectum lights that, to your body, are the same as being outside dring the summer which has had the effect of keeping the depression states at bay. Manic states are a little harder cause of the natural high you will tend to have with it. (which means you sleep very little and will do stuff like work on you computer for 36 strait hours or go and party or do the other wild stuff that tends to get you introuble after you come back down...ack) during those time I try to listen to soft music, normally some celtic stuff I enjoy and the relaxing sounds help to bring down the manic state. Of course these help with the mild "first signs" but will also help you not reach the next levals. I actually spent a lot of time with what is refered to as a "music therapist" to learn how and when to listen to the different types of music and you should be able to find out quite a bit of information here...

Music Therapy Org

Do a search on google for "light therapy" and you will find a bunch in information about it. The products I have come from
Sunbox

Before trying these speak with your doctor and get his input on them.

Have your blood lithum levels checked. Lithum is not some of the wall drug but basically a natural salt that everyone need a certain level of to fuction "normal" if your body is not using it right you have BP problems.

The main thing to remember is that there are a TON of people with this. Some of the most famous and suggesfull people in the world.
(I think that this might be because of the manic side of the disorder that allows us to work nonstop. Maybe they have just enough of the manic to be effective without disrupting their thinking to the point of being desctructive) but, whatever the case you will have no problems at all finding plenty of people that have and are dealing with the same things and will be glad to work with you to help bring it all under control.

Feel free to hit me up on our ICQ 4009474 if you ever have any questions and I would be happy anytime.

For anyone who does not really know what BP MD is like, just run out and rent a copy of Pink Floyd The Wall and watch it.
