Bipolar dancers

It's seems to me that I have been running into quite a few dancers in the last few years that claimed to be Bipolar. They seemed pretty rational to me at the time. So I have to wonder are these women just using that as an excuse for irrational behavior or are they really Bi polar?
Got something to say?

Alcohol, Drugs, Born Again Christianity, and Psychiatric Medication make it much worse.
But probably, almost certainly, you are dealing with the survivors of familial childhood abuses.

I have known a few people that really were diagnosed bipolar and two that commited suicide because it wrecked their lives so much. If someone really has it, it certain can be a very serious thing. Crazy strippers think that because they have wide ranging mood swings are bipolar are full of shit. Stripper shit to be exact. Probably the same ones that are 33 years old and claim to be going to college to either get their nursing degree or criminal justice degree. Face it babe, you're batshit crazy and you're always gonna be a stripper.
She suffered from bipolar disorder and was prescribed Zoloft which heightened her hyper-sexuality and contributed to her becoming a prostitute.
Just speculating here....but perhaps that's why some bipolar woman turn to stripping.
what the hell are you doing listening to this quack. oh wait a minute...
SJG -As someone who's marriage was destroyed because my spouse was bipolar your theory is not based in fact. I've lived with it up close and personal. Watched her try different meds before finding the right one that worked for her. Unfortunately it came to late.
It is not something someone can turn on and off and to say its just circumstance is reckless and uninformed.
and why pray tell would this be any different than any of the other fabrications, delusions and outright crap that make up everything the uneducated imbecile has posted?
a "fact" is something san_jose_guy is incapable of comprehending
you must be mistaken, he, ooops i mean "she" is doing six months in county
Kidding aside, i have had several mention bipolar disorder and also the right drugs that are used to treat it. Are strippers intelligent enough to research their stripper shit backstory? Yes, but my bet is these are truly being diagnosed and treated for it. Who would say so that was not?

Mikey, SJG doesn't just work for them -- he's a client, too.
Bipolar disorder
Also called: manic depression
ABOUT
SYMPTOMS
TREATMENTS
A disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs.
Very common
More than 3 million US cases per year
Can't be cured, but treatment may help
Chronic: can last for years or be lifelong
Requires a medical diagnosis
Lab tests or imaging not required
What sticks out to me is the last line. So it seems it is just someone opinion.
There are just wacky people in this world.
Seems you found the cure!
So, I don't know whether it's really bipolar or not -- the girls may be using "bipolar" as a trendy catch-all for all sorts of conditions, but do believe there are serious clinical conditions in disproportionate numbers among strippers.
It may also be a cry for help/sympathy – e.g. “woe is me” kinda thing.
This is true only if you believe that dissociation and tune out is better than facing one's pain. People don't become psychiatrists or psychotherapists unless they have an extreme need to deny their own childhood pain and the effects it has had on them.
Learning to live in one's own skin and to be fully present in mind and body is a the work of a life time. One cannot even begin this until they have completely renounced all intoxicants, like Alcohol, Drugs, Born Again Christianity, and Psychiatric Medication.
Psychotherapy is predicated on denial as the goal.
Pg 61
“
Before publishing my first book, I gave a lecture on the mental adjustment of psychoanalysts and their presumed childhood history. After that lecture I was asked: “But you can’t seriously mean that all psychoanalysts were abused children?” I replied: “I can’t be sure, I can only assume it. But I would say that no one can be a psychoanalyst who has experienced abuse—widespread as it is—in his own childhood and no longer needs to deny it. For in that case psychoanalytic theories cease to make sense.”

25% of women are on medication for mental illness.
That means 75% are running around unmedicated.

that is the most cogent observations posted on this board in a very long time.
another related truism is that about the only people who rail against psychiatrists and psychiatric medications are the – technical term coming up – “batshit crazy lunatics” unable to perceive reality, thinking they are somehow normal and who have almost certainly stopped taking their meds.
and @san_jose_guy, stop sending the psycho PMs and take your fucking meds already
When I called most dancers bipolar I concede it was an exaggeration because as a group they weren't like my friend. Like my ATF for example...she says she has ADD which I believe because I've seen her when she's tripping so to speak. But bipolar? No.
When Freud first started his work, he stood with his patients, 18 female hysterics, and every one of them sexually molested as a small child. So he presented his work and he was vilified. So in the decades which followed, he changed his views and put forth his infantile sexual seduction fantasy theory, culminating in his 1901 "Interpretation of Dreams".
Ever since, the therapists who have succeeded Freud have stood with the perpetrators. They did indeed used to routinely tell juveniles that they were fantasizing sexual molestation.
Today that would land them in a prison cell. But they always still say that the remedy to sexual molestation and other abuses is, NOTHING!
Ask your psychotherapist, How many criminal convictions of child abusers have you gotten?
How many law suits or actions to stop disinheritance have you gotten against parental child abusers?
What have you done to try and get laws change so that the child victims and not the parental abusers are protected?
What forms of direct action have you employed?
Your therapist, any therapist, is committed to doing nothing. After all, they see anger as evil. They don't want to have to face their own anger, and this is why they are a therapist.
So your therapist will say, "I let my patients lie on my couch and confess their angry tendencies and their reluctance to forgive. I also let them vent histrionically as they punch pillows and scream at them. I help them to understand that their parents just didn't know any better."
After this my patients always feel so much better, and sometimes I can even reduce their medications.
Therapists enable the parental abusers. They turn the experience of injustice into a medical problem and a self-improvement project.
If they did not feel their own need to deny, they would not be therapists.

take your meds
His basic thesis is that they are starting kids with ADHD and Autism / Asperger's diagnoses and putting them on medications, knowing full well that these medications have a good chance of getting them a bipolar diagnosis and more medications, and then likely a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

you’ve heard those words before haven’t you san_jose_guy? many, many times from many, many professionals is my guess
and if i’m not mistaken, and we both know i’m not, the terms of your parole explicitly forbid you from having any contact with any children so take your meds, your urges will pass and you can stop fantasizing about giving GHB to young children
These Bipolars, they do say and do stupid stuff. But they reason they do this is because they are out of touch with their own feelings.

Thing is though, if you are really feeling your feelings, you will start to act. You won't just declare yourself to be a "Clear" or "Saved", you will be looking for comrades and you will be looking for weapons, and you will be striking blows. If you feel your feelings, you will be acting. So feeling your feelings alone does not fix anything, but building up a band of comrades and acting does.
