Awesome. You have to wonder wether she actually thinks she's from another world, or she just likes to pretend and taunt the authorities...

im not from the US, but when im there im still expected to bide their laws.

so if i were to be a spectral being visiting this plane, im still a guest and should follow the rules of their society, no matter how primitive

i say burn the witch.

Burn the witch!

this couldve been solved easily with a set of scales and a duck

I see a 'Will it float?' internet meme coming on.

With those funbags, I think she'd have little trouble

De Avalon began to wind her window up and Sen-Const Logan reached through in an attempt to remove the keys from her ignition

Bipolar.

Ah, we need to build a bridge out of her to be certain.

Easily - I obviously don't know if that's her actual diagnosis, but the upswing is generally the bit in which people fuck up their own lives out of all recognition

"... from the Geelong suburb of Highton"
says it all really.

Hells yeah. I have a close relative who's bipolar. Absolutely fine for maybe 4-5 years at a time, then something happens and fuuuuuuuuck they're off in la-la land for 2-10 months at a time.

Worst part is when it comes down to an intervention. Because it's like a gradual slip into crazy land that happens across a couple of weeks, and they don't realise there's any kind of a problem until the entire family and a couple of paramedics are in their living room, and you can kinda see a flicker of recognition in them that they're having an episode.

tl;dr bipolar is some scary shit.

perhaps she was only bitten by a bipolar bear

Without seeing her "other side", how can you assume it's bipolar and not just full blown schizophrenia?

fuck off xeros

Because schizophrenics don't have "other sides." You're thinking of multiple personality disorder.

She might be schizophrenic or schizoaffective and is just hallucinating, but Geebs is right, this is probably bipolar.
Or she's just a stupid wiccan and has convinced herself it's true.

Thata why I was saying. We haven't seen another side to her, so we don't know that she has one...

Actually... bipolars don't hallucinate. Moods swing from one extreme to another rapidly. Emotions are amplified. You are overly happy, sad, angry... etc. The farthest you get from reality is thinking it's a good idea to harm someone. Bipolars - generally - don't believe they are from other planets. But yes, it's some scary shit.

Ah... I see what you were getting at. Never mind, then.

Just under half of the participants reported experiencing true hallucinations during their illness. Participants tended to report visual hallucinations in mania and auditory hallucinations in depression.

Peenyuh, as if

Study was too small and I doubt had participants that suffered solely from bipolar. Thing about bipolar is that it leads to other mental disorders. That is why a lot of bipolars are diagnosed schitzo. Bipolar can go hand in hand with multiple other disorders. I have been diagnosed as severe bipolar, and have studied many cases of bipolar - face to face - and witnessed various multi- disorders. I was not impressed by the half-assed "survey" done on your Cambridge site. I am more willing to assert data derived in practical application. Thanks for the link though.
