      Default putting a break on that feel good factor

      at times i think everyone is a 'good guy' etc, and i get quite affectionate.

      Obviously this isn't the case and logic tells me that this is some kind of over amplication, which i am now consciously aware of.

      How do you balance this sort of thing.

      And don't say meds.

      Lol, oh bob, you've made it so tempting, meds, meds, meds, meds, meds!

      No but seriously, you're aware of it now, that's a massive step. That's definitely a manic/hypomanic feeling that fellow man is a wonderful thing and feeling connected and everything in the world is beautiful and that general sense of well-being. There's nothing wrong with that feeling, it's when it starts to tip over into inappropriate behaviour so if it isn't, i say enjoy it If it is, now you're aware of it, you can think before you act, think what you would do if you weren't feeling the great empathy you do now. Is that any help or are you looking for more?

      Yeh I know that stan, but we are victims of our times. we are consumers, and we consume what the world makes for us.
      If we didn't then perhaps the world will change.
      Somewhere there's a little indian boy collecting sand for the pot noodle sachet for tuppence a day, does that make me a bad person for eating it, or is the pot noodle MD an evil twisted person. It's just the world , i don't really let it bother me, i give money to the RSPCA every month to prosecute people who hurt animals and that kind of does it for me.

      Well there's balance there Bob. Global guilt seems to to a symptom, thinking you are responsible for national/international things, like me, i am a recycling nut, i go mad in someone puts something recyclable in the bin. My car is full of it! I feel if i don't i'm a bad person and all sorts of things like that. I give to the NSPCC and wateraid even though i can't afford, it relieves a bit of the guilt that i don't do more but i have enough trouble looking after myself, my 2 kids and doing a diploma while having bipolar!

      hey Bob,

      Glad you are thinking about the high, you have been there for a while. I have to say I will miss "high" Bob though, he is so funny. But never mind my need to laugh, you do need to ask the MH team for guidance. Yeah meds may be one route, but there are others, so talk to them.

      As for global guilt, there is so much. Where do you begin? So I work with the fact I have brought up two very aware kids, its their turn to feel the guilt. I've done my time with it!!

      ive always been high young lady, even when i was at my most suicidal. My sense of humour has never left me, although it can metamorphasise into irony and sinicism, with a very very dark streak.
      you wanna hear something funny - um.. ok.
