		<description><![CDATA[To be honest, you&#039;re correct that a person with bipolar is using emotional manipulation to achieve results, as do all other human beings, but you are wrong when you imply that it is always a conscious decision. Somebody with bipolar is just much less effective at normal manipulation and thus kaleidoscopes through emotions until a desired result is achieved. It isn&#039;t necessarily a conscious decision to manipulate (the analysis/&quot;decisions&quot; come after the actions), however somebody with bipolar may be aware that they are automatically manipulating people and this knowledge may trigger an emotional response within the patient and again drive another episode of uncontrollable emotional spiralling.

If the left brain is receiving information pertaining to physical action after the fact and then intepreting it and setting down rules for new actions in the future, then logically the conscious &quot;you&quot; (the part that &quot;thinks&quot;) is not wholly responsible for the actions of the whole, but is only a part of the equation that is responding to information and attempting to deliver meaningful response. You&#039;re not one organism, but several superorganisms working in synchronicity, and to heap blame on individuals for certain actions outside of their conscious control is very old-style psychological thinking - you might as well book mental patients in for a labotomy, why deal with the root causes when we can say its their fault and they need to think their way out of the hole?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exactly what I was about to say. Its a kind of psychosis, and is thus not remotely enjoyable. You can force yourself to perceive it positively under certain circumstances, which is veering towards insanity (accepting a version of reality which is disconnected from the real), however it is difficult to control any of your mental perceptions in a state of derealization due to the completely different set of inputs your brain seems to be working with - it can&#039;t make rational decisions because it isn&#039;t dealing with rational information.

Think of it like this - everything around you is unreal, and your brain can &quot;know&quot; that everything around is not real but that you are in a real situation, and there is nothing more frightening or horrifying than not knowing whats happening around you and thus how to respond, and also not knowing whether you&#039;ll get your normal reality BACK. Drug induced derealization is different because the effect is non-organic and has a shelf life.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Derealisation is not a blast, it totally sucks! Nothing is more anxiety enducing than the sensation that the world around you is not as it should be, especially the &quot;dolly zoom&quot; effect described. I have experienced that prior to being on medication and it is a terrible, isolating and disorientating experience. I wouldn&#039;t wish it on my worst enemy.]]></description>
