Before Reading this, I don't know if this is an actual theory or not, just my own I thought of...
Okay, so it was stated in another thread that I was self admittedly bi-polar... Mainly cause I used to go from incredibly happy one minute to incredibly depressed the next... I've since gotten over it, and haven't had a problem with it for a LONG time. Well, it got me to thinking...
Okay, when I thought I was bi-polar (never diagnosed, just me thinking that), I was hanging around with a friend of mine who was actually diagnosed as bi-polar. He was pretty dang crazy, but I was too nice to just not be around his crazy, drug using azz. (He was so crazy, he though a harley could beat my 900RR and Busa) So anyway, fast forward to now. Haven't seen him in a LONG time, thank god. Well, when I hung around him, I was, in my mind, "bipolar", then when I stopped hanging around him, I got better and better. Mind you, I JUST pieced this together. So, heres my new theory.
Much like how Women who hang around each other can get on the same cycle, or how Men can get sympathy pains for their wives in labor, etc. I think it's possible to get the same symptoms as those you hang around. If you have a friend who's always happy and you're always around them, you're much more prone to be happy than sad. Same as if you're around a crazy person, you're more prone to be crazy. I also think it also coincides with how close you feel to the person. The Crazy guy I hung out with was a real good friend of mine (or so I thought). Same as some current friends of mine. One in our group is always depressed, and I've noticed the others attitudes go down when he's depressed. I, on the other hand, decide to dissapear when he brings up the same tired stuff he's brought up before that he's depressed about. (I think it sounds too familiar to me... like... like I used to do the same thing! lol) Why do I do that? Because it ticks me off and kinda brings me down.
So, my new words of advice. If you find yourself always sad, look at those who surround you... You might find a link to your problems... Or you might find yourself the link to some problems in your friends, in which case, don't go drastic and kill yourself, but tell your friends "sorry if I bring you down" and then work on your problem.
And now, for me. Sorry if I had brought any of you down with my emo past. I've worked on those problems, got rid of the problem, and am now a better man for it.
