Something I wrote once that I really like

I've been using lithium for quite some time 2 yrs +. I've been feeling quite good on it, I'm able to maintain a steady job etc.. But every now & then I feel this urge that life is too generic. It seems I'm stuck on the same "stablized" mood day-in day-out, I lack creativity, and my thoughts are plain dull.. What do you guys suggest

Once upon a time there was a place for us. We were special, revered, admired, consulted. We were 'touched by the gods'. We were shamen, we were princes - society looked to us for direction and understanding and leadership. They looked to us to explain what they could not.

Now...in the industrial age, not being machines that can happily do the same drudge everyday...

...my advice? Get off the meds (except cannabis) and stop corrupting the great gift you've been given.

I truly believe we experience more in life than most people, we get more bang for our buck, more life from each second we have. I think wasting that is a sin.

If there's a point to life, isn't that it, to live the most you can out of every single moment? And when it comes to that aren't we way in front of the pack?

Don't listen to the pill pushers who want to make you 'normal', for a price.

What sane person would want to be 'normal'?

What would Winston Churchill, Lord Marlborough do?

The combination of genius and bi-polar condition are the hallmarks of the who's who of history.

And you don't make history by being 'normal'.
