To answer your question: bi polar disorder is a mental disorder. Being sub or dom is a personality trait. Ergo: One can be sub or dom or switch and have bi polar disorder. the two do not interface. There is no relationship between one's needs, and whether or not one is bi polar.

Is your friend a dom or sub? HOW would we know that? Ask your friend! Whatever they identify as, is going to be the correct answer.
Wrong!  Thank you for playing.

  You sound like a defensive fucktard who doesn't understand that a question is not a statement of intent, its just a question.

Proof, yet again, that BDSM attracts the insecure, the socially inept, and the completely insane.

Recently I got onto the mental health stuff, in particular bi-polar...


I do have to admit that bipolar is a very interesting mental health disability. Yes i said disability because that is exactly what it is for me. I am diagnosed with Bipolar by my mental health doctor, in particular i have what is considered bipolar major depressive disorder, if i remember correctly that is what it is classified as.

quote:

But for an illness like bi-polar, I imagine it would greatly impact the BDSM scene. Your mood switches *SNIP* this would impact your ability to be dominant or submissive.


as far as bipolar impacting the bdsm scene it doesnt really impact me that much but it does impact parts of my life which make it hard to mentally comprehend where i am at in my position of the lifestyle. Mood switches actually dont impact my ability of being dominate or submissive they actually impact my mental compasity right now to know which i actually am because of the 2 years with my husband i have grown in the lifestyle and grown and changed as a person. this is why my profile now states that i am a switch and well i believe that the story that i have written on my profile states pretty clearly the changes my mental health has put me through.

quote:

I suspect that listing them as a switch is probably not right either, but I wanted to know other people's thoughts on the subject.


Listing as a switch is pretty well based on the factor of where the mental health state and where i feel the most comfortable at and right now i am essentially a Domme Bitch that feels like being lazy and also i like to have my husband in a kind way come down on me and snap my mental status out of where im at so that ill accomplish something other than siting on my computer or watching tv or just doing homework so that i am also a productive person.

these are my thoughts based on where i am in my mental health and mind you i was much worse off about a week+ ago because my meds were not at a level that allowed me to function. Mental health Meds make a diffrence in a persons ability to consistantly keep with the role that they partake as in the lifestyle IMO.

I want to send you a CMail because well id like to know your opinion based on what i wrote and well based on the factor that seeing a mental health professional or at least a professed mental health professional post has me curious as to what you see as to what is going on with me.

I hope this came out right but yea essentially id like to CMail chat with you about this.

Status: offline 		OK first of all we with a mental illness are not mentally ill. Second bi-polar is not as easy as simply being moody, however there is a high and a low. There are different bi-polar degrees. There is type I and type II, type I has a wild up and down swingd, type II is more of the depressed side of the disorder.
Now with a proper type of medicine which is not meant for every "bi-polar disordered person" it is sort of a hit and miss type discovery.
Once that has been sorted out and the person with the disorder, can figure out if they are a Dom(me) or a sub, slave. They first of all can figure out who they are at all. That is the most important part of the equation. There is also a lot of self discovery, with the help of counsle (sp)
Please realize that it is not all as cut and dry as your question.

Status: offline 		Seasnail, I would like to say that I agree with what you said. I have had bi polar clients refer to themselves as mentally ill, and I express my discomfort at this self characterization, although the mental health establishment views bi polar disorder as a mental illness. You are also correct that there is a very wide range to this illness but most people who take their medications can live very full and healthy lives. I find that many bi polar people are very bright and creative, and I learn a lot from working with them.

And just how do you figure that? Having a mental illness is the definition of mentally ill...

As a mentally ill person...by which I mean I have a mental illness...I find this sort of PC linguistic chicanery insulting.

Status: offline 		I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder in June, from my readings here I'm guessing Type II,  I also have a whole host of other disorders ranging from major depression to agoraphobia.  Just about everything ranging in between.  Yes, I'm medicated, will be for the rest of my life.   It in no way affects my being a submissive, that's who I am at the very core of my being, one of my most dominant traits.  I also feel better when I'm with a Dominant who understands my moods and can bring me to "reason" for lack of a better word.

On my own, well, I know it for myself, I don't do well.  I'm apathetic all the time, spend most of that time sleeping, have no energy, want nothing to do with most people, closest family and friends only.  I can put on an outward appearance that leaves people stunned that I'm like this when I'm alone, but that's the simple truth of the matter.  I've learned very well to hide how I feel on the inside.  It's a defense mechanism for me, one that's worked well.  But my family knows I'm not the same me I was years ago, and it hurts them to see me like this.  I'm no longer the happy go-lucky person I once was.  Strangers won't notice it because they just don't know me on a day to day basis. 

Not much else to say, so I'll just end it on that note.

Chantal

Status: offline 		Arpig, I really do not wish to get into an arguement with you. I am not mentally ill. Bipolar is caused by either a lack of certain chemicals or to much of certain chemicals. This is my understanding. Of course I have been known to be incorrect. I'm not a confrontational person really. If I were mentally ill then the replacement of the chemicals that are missing or the "calming of the over abundance of chemilcals" would not help at all.
