No, because I have a mental illness. |

Yeah, manic depression (bipolar). Been posting about it here for years...
My sis does also, but much worse (frequent hospitalizations). Also our grandma did, almost certainly (not diagnosed, though). |
I must say really admire you're courage. I wouldn't talk about my so called issues with others.
Aren't you afraid of other people judging you? |

| Ludi, anyone who would "judge" you is showing their ignorance! Kudos that you post about your condition-it should be viewed no different than if you were posting about "high blood pressure", "diabetes" ,etc. People need to understand that conditions such as depression, etc. has to do with chemical imbalances in the brain. The brain is an organ, just as the pancreas and heart is too. You contribute so much to this web site and by being open about bipolar may help someone to recognize the symptoms and seek help if needed. |

To stay on topic, Death must be directly related to Time.
Do a Wiki search on Death, and Time will inevitably show up:
I guess we could establish with a good certainty that the majority of our fellow humans are afraid of death.
What if death would not be subject to fear? I bettja depression would be finally recoginzed as a primarily subconcious 'fear of death' syndrome. |
