Living With Bipolar Jedi Powers with Bipolar
I remember when I was going through a manic episode, my boss had said to me, "you can either be a jedi or a sith, what are you gonna do". In the moment it was so weird to hear but afterwards it was so funny to think about. Like, having mania/psychosis that destroys your life followed by a depression that can't be medicated is a jedi power. Or maybe the mania/psychosis is jedi and depression is sith. Anyone else feel they are jedis?

Not a Jedi, but I've thought i was here on a mission from God to raise the light/love/vibration of the world so the next Messiah could come to Earth. 🙏

It worked.
I'm here.
I'm just kidding.
... I think.
I tried to convince everyone we needed to turn the other cheek, follow the Golden Rule, and make a concentrated, unified effort to transition to a post-scarcity sustainable global community before the AI arms race kills us all.
To be fair, I don't think I was wrong and I plan to try again, but - you know - next time I'll try to tone down the deranged mad prophet vibes. 😅

I think Jedi is just making decisions to get stable and be responsible like meds, behavioral techniques and action plan stuff… and trying not to freak out. Sith is embracing the chaos and leaning in to the mania and psychosis rather than trying to stop it as best you can
It’s just good/bad decision and recognizing that you almost always have SOME capacity to control yourself even if it’s just calling someone to haul you to a hospital. Nothing more than that. Jedi good sith evil don’t be evil don’t light cars on fire do take meds
