picture a manic depressive pretty much as jimi hendrix expressed in his classic. symbolized as a rapidly precessing gyroscope intent on spinning rapidly on itself until it meets an object in its path. there will always be an intense internal pressure to resolve issues, spin up until spin down, or clear the plate. they will always seek to involve (precess) themselves.

their anithesis is someone who wants to control them as an extension of themselves. that person will metaphorically touch the gyroscopic top axis, stopping it (temporarily). the precession builds and the controller sets a task. the depressive complies and rather than reward, the depressive is critiqued. this makes the depressive feel stupid for the attempt.

here's a classic case of dissonance:

the patient has a doctor's appointment. on the way downstairs the controller calls him, while talking to him, the transport comes. not hearing the transport come he contines to talk. the transport has base call upstairs. now there are three sources seeking attention. the patient faces a choice as to what to do.

quotes 4.19.2006 11:03

the very icon of time, a sundial, is the first mirror duplicated in a clock and everyone takes it for granted

he was digressed in age, added experience but not matured

passive aggression is asserting one's right to be wrong

entitle advocacy

free speech! promote healthy consideration not diatribes.

talk to, not at

think all of that, apply to this

there are no straight threads in a string

detours can be creative solutions

the first step to truth is knowing there's a difference

give someone the gift of caring that they will wake up tomorrow

make a straight line because it's a straight line
