Is there a pill for this?

[rockstar1234]

I have a problem I'd like to get some help with.
I'm a white male in my late thirties. All my life I've been a 'jack of all trades' kinda person. I can't maintain passion and focus in my life.
Examples:
I get it in my head that I want to write books so I'll spend a few months working on a book with passion and focus that could almost be described as manic. I love every second of it and simply can't get it out of my head. Then I just stop. I lose all my interest in writing and undomesticated equines (wild horses) could not drag me back to the desk to write.
After a few weeks of a cool off period I'll latch on to something else.
I may dive into computers for a few weeks, get all nerdified about it and just as I'm about to start my own computer repair service (starting in my spare time) I just stop.
Then I decide I want to do stand up comedy so I'll work and research and spend a lot of time preparing and before I ever get a chance to try my material my passion and mania for what I'm doing just magically vanishes and I just stop.
I'm a highly intelligent individual and personally believe that I suffer from distinct and unmistakable emotional peaks and valleys. I usually bottom out emotionally after I stop whatever it is I'm focused on at the moment because it's like I can't do anything but fail fail fail. And it's not that I'm failing at these things. I stop before I have a chance to fail.
If I could stay focused on any one thing in my life for any real amount of time I might actually make something of myself. I'm hoping there's some type of medication that will help me keep my passion going without dulling my intellect.
Any thoughts? Is there a name for this type of behavior? Perhaps a name to describe this issue would help me in my search for a solution.

Hi,
It could be bipolar disorder, but the only way to know for sure is to seek professional opinion from a doctor. might be a good idea to keep a diary of your emotional highs and lows too. Alternatively, there could be some underlying psychological reason that prevents you from seeing a project through to the end. I think people can be like that from time to time anyway. it is obviously causing you some distress and there is loads of help out there. the difficult part is actually recognising the problem and asking for help which you have already done by posting here. Good luck

It can be difficult to diagnose because there is no blood test or brain scan that can detect it.I recommend leaving the diagnosing to the professionals. Every person has ups and downs, but bi-polar disorder is a persistent and debilitating disease that requires treatment.

Always putting things off, yet the solutions are simple, and the internal
being utmost veritable the potential is in your own fine nerves and obviously
just need more fine "control", but I say control not as implying force but
development as a leg or limb may be trained to be used better.
Union has been ascribed to such attempts, on top of this one's priorities
should not be held off to accommodate such projects and a requisite
time line ascribed. I would say find an abandoned place and sit still
, reflect the mind upon the images of the world, find a solitude in which
to see the world around you, go out amongst places which cause ye
to behold beautiful scenes as most city outskirts reveal the most
sparkling lights and there is traffic, lights, and the mind wonders
at the mystery afar. In doing so peace is attained and energies are
directed properly, for the meditator in reality is no systemised
practioner, he just has elements in certain abundance and must escape
his reality to transcend his thoughts in order to reach a new reality.
So peace be with you, and I hope with your intelligence in writing you
will not only find your book, but new realization and truths,
good day.

Hi,

I found what you wrote about very interesting. I too have had similer experiences, I actually worked solid on ebay 12 hours a day for a year or so and made not bad money. I guess because it was easy, i got to sit down all day (my fav thing) and use my mind. And i knew i had obligations to people.

I also see my mum behaving the same this past ten years shes not working full time any more or looking after us not so big kids anymore. She's not bi polar and neither am I. However that is a very real condition unlike most diagnosed with paranoid scitsofrenia which i believe to be the biggest orwellian persevion of our time. I doubt you have it if youve never been proper dellusional or anything like that.

The drugs give people more extreme emtotions, anti pyhcotics that is, by enlarging the basil ganglia in the brain. The people these drugs are designed for have more input filters in their brain and these drugs make the brain create even more input filters. They also lobotmise you. Permanent damage to the central nervous system. God, the list goes on. And their very difficult to get off. People are a mess for years after they stop taking them, sleeping patterns all over the place, constantly climbing the walls. Oh yes and the people who made the chemicals lied about how dangerous they are. The 66% figure is nonsense, more people than that will develop diabetis or another life destroying condition. Oh yes and i in 145 people dies during the second generation of anti pychotic trials, this completely witheld from the publicised results. My Doctor thinks drugs are withdrawn if one in a million people die from taking them. How Orwellian is that!

Hope your wise enough to stay away from Doctors and learn more about this reality yourself. Take care my friend.
