Dear RM Agents and Readers,
No doubt this is in part where some of the school shooters come from, that blank stare and nobody home. I've been attempting to figure out if it was drugs, antidepressants or Beelzebub that I've been dealing with as both could have fit the scenario I've been handed.
What I have discovered is that if you are in the least bipolar you better be taking something else other than or along with the antidepressant as it can cause psychosis. Second time I've dealt with something similar and it has scared the crap out of me both times.
I do know that both of these people were not eating well either, did drink (not sure how much) and this also contributes to both bipolar and depression.
Denial of your potential for these types of behaviors can really cause chaos in your family so it is up to you to be self aware as well as responsible. Your affect on those you say you love demands this or you just may loose them forever, for their own safety.
Course some folks are just manipulative because they want what they want; something I've also seen and have also found very painful to understand. Just plain scary.
Lyme/Morgellons taught me many things, learned how important it was to cognitive behavior of self, the effects of drugs or alcohol on self and ones own spiritual connection. This helps elevate you when dealing with others, things just aren't how they used to be. You tend to see more clearly, not only yourself but others as well.
Be careful folks and if you are taking antidepressants you might want to give your gun to someone else until your done.
Many Blessings,
CrystalRiver

The idea that people suffering from mental disorders are automatically more violent than the general population has been established as a myth, a stereotype that, thankfully, is being shattered. And yet, there are several aspects of untreated bipolar disorder than can lead to an increased risk of domestic violence.
This is a confusing and frightening situation with emotional and physical repercussions for all involved, so it’s important to understand a few basic facts about bipolar disorder and why treatment is a significant, important step who anyone who might be struggling.
What Is Bipolar Disorder Exactly?
The brain uses an intricate system of chemical signals to manage emotional functions in the central nervous system.
Tiny changes in the level of these chemicals are directly related to the following critical functions:
Positive and negative feelings
The formation and recollection of memories
Impulse control
Anxiety and stress management
When individuals suffer from an imbalance or deficiency in this chemical system, they may experience moments marked by extreme depression and times of emotional mania.
Some of the most common symptoms of depression include: emotional numbness, persistent sadness, crying, lack of motivation, feelings of hopelessness and despair and suicidal thoughts, words or actions, while common symptoms of bipolar mania have a few distinct differences.

Those dealing with bipolar mania may find little need for sleep, lack personal culpability for their actions, they may verbally abuse others and have an irrationally elevated mood.
Bipolar individuals tend to move from one of these emotional extremes to the other. They often fail to receive treatment because during depressive episodes they don’t believe there is any hope to feel better, and during manic times they don’t feel that they need any help. Spouses and loved ones tend to live with a combination of fear and uncertainty as a result.
