I could have sworn you were going to talk about another Bar altogether.

[Loud Whispers]

Well now that you mention it, I was thinking in more atmospheric terms.

[Oliolli]

You know, I thought of a different bar as well...

I'M GONNA MURDER YOU!

But I love you so much!

As far as I know, in bipolar disorder the moodswings take quite long, even weeks. Feeling like murdering someone and loving them at the same time is more of a borderline personality disorder thing.

[Helgoland]

There's also a form where your mood swings in a matter oof days or even hours, but that's a bit more rare (it's called rapid cycling bipolar II).
That thing sounded more like an ax crazy psychopath.

Bipolar is really, really annoying. It's tough to know what to think of someone when their a total asshole one day, then the nicest person on the planet the next.

[Oliolli]

Bipolar disorder is actually the switching between depression and mania. Meaning a person is extremely sad and thinking about suicide one moment, then the happiest person on the planet some time later.

Apparently, dealing with a person who is in the manic state is much more annoying than if they were in the depressed state. Bipolars are usually in the manic state wjhen they are sent to hospitals, simply because they are driving the people close to them insane.

Mania is more than just being extremely happy. It's over-excitement, delusions, and so forth. In the same way that depression isn't adequately summarized as someone being "really sad".

Mania is more than just being extremely happy. It's over-excitement, delusions, and so forth. In the same way that depression isn't adequately summarized as someone being "really sad".

It's being willing to do stupid, anything, even something real stupid, like robbing a store, just because you can. You feel all-powerful, invincible, like nothing could harm you. I can see why you would do cocaine now.
The depressive phase is pretty much the opposite: You think your entire life is suffering. You want to kill yourself, you just can't muster the courage. You feel worthless, undeserving, unable to live any longer. You just want to... get it over with, be done with living - even oblivion would be better than that.

(Been there, luckily not done that - good thing I went to see a psychiatrist . Being quite drunk probably helped with posting this )

I know, it was just a quick, simplified way of explaining.

But I already feel like that all the time?

[Oliolli]

That's called delusion of grandeur. Often a sympton of delusional disorder.

No I pretty much am that way.

So's my dad, though. Like, not even joking, the dude's been in 11 car wrecks, been struck by lightning, gotten shot in the face at point blank range, and lives in a house with three girls, two of them teenagers.

The man's got more plot armor than Edward Cullen and enough luck to drown a goddamn leprechaun.

Oh, a family man!

What did he do to get shot? And how come he's been in 11 (dafuq?) accidents?

[Scoops Novel]

Well now we know we know where earths Rincewind winded up. What do they do if you're shot in the face, by the way?

[SealyStar]

One of my teachers at school today mentioned how Apollo 12 was the first mission to land on the moon.

He was alive when it happened, too, for Christ's sake!
