O_ops...I did it again!

So I'm gonna be taking some new supplements...

1. Gaba-Plus for...well obviously stress on my nerves

2. L-Theanine (200mg) to help with my mood swings


but anyway I wanted to say that I sometimes feel like some "drunk" stumbling around bashing into things and dropping things...I get so caught up in what I'm doing that I'm not realizing what's going on around me except what I'm focusing on...my wife tells me all the time to SLOW DOWN...but it's easier said than done...I refuse to take meds for this so I'm resorting to supplements (and yes I do "meditate" and all that other stuff)...I'm just sick of hurting myself and my wife because I'm so "spastic" and I guess unaware of the true speed/force of my actions because to me I am going at a "normal" pace and not exerting much force but apparently I am...???...maybe something weird is going on with my perception??? Or maybe one of my senses is working more than the other (well obviously I have epilepsy duh but trying to be more specific with whatever is going on)...who knows...all I know is that I'm tired of bashing into things and dropping things and squeezing my wife too hard and moving around like some blindfolded ostrich on crack... (or acid...depends on my mood)

Yeah I'm a bipolarbear...what's new :banana:

So I just took the Gaba and I must say I feel RELAXED...not intoxicated relaxed...just more "natural"...can't explain it...well that's the way it's suppose to work so yeah...anyway...

I'm only going to be taking the L-Theanine when I am having a moment
 
I'm also very clumsy. I don't tend to notice when I hurt myself--I only find the evidence later. But I do spill and break absolutely everything and that annoys me far more. Cleaning up after myself sometimes feels like a full time job. My kitchen is currently down to one of every piece of crockery because I got tired of replacing breakages, and my cutlery's in a similar state because I keep throwing it in the bin (that's the only explanation I can come up with). Are you sure you're having accidents because you're moving too quickly? Could be spacial awareness problems--that's my problem.

Just as you would take offence to someone making fun of E being the cause of something, I take offence to Bipolar always being the but of jokes as I am bipolar and I am not that way nor the way most people have stigmatized us to be.

No I am not sure...it was just a stab in the dark...could be a number of reasons...but as for the spatial awareness...I will say that I spend most of my time looking at things close in front of me...(I'm nearsighted) but I don't think that would be it...mostly it's just like I'm hyper tuned into something and everything else is...well...out of tune...then again...I am just saying that is what it seems like...not what it is exactly...

Lol most people don't know how to think/act for themselves because they've been conditioned to think/act like everyone else...it's called compartmentalization :noevil:

(I have no mind of my own thus I am bound in deception)

You misunderstood completely the point I was trying to make...I'll be back later to explain...gotta get up and do my "chores" right now :)
 
I'm sorry Mr. E first for misunderstanding you but second for being so sinsetive to things. I need to not be so much after all it is not really that big of a deal and most people don't mean it that way either. Please forgive me.

Have a great day. Penny

Lol it's okay Penny...it wasn't really important anyway...I was just ranting really...I tend to do that when I'm bored...no biggie :)

I am also really sensitive and know how easy it is to confuse/distort things :huh:
