"The Bipolar Emergency Kit…An internet search for bipolar supplies turned up this……

“The full-wave doubler is also a bipolar supply, where ground is taken at the junction of the capacitors”

and this….

“[1] Bipolar Supply Module Kit), $105.00 USD.”

and a bunch of other goobilygook crap that I didn’t understand.

I want to post about bipolar supplies that we need. You know……the must haves that we keep around ICORMS (in chase of radical mood swings).

I think that we should do a service here and make a list of necessary items and keep them in Two Boxes…..one for mania and one for that shithole of depression.

or example……

Supplies to be put in The Manic Box

1. Patent office number……..for those really fantastic, foil-proof, “gonna-make-us-rich and the world a better place” inventions and innovations. Don’t you hate it when in a moment of absolute manic genius, you are struck by a brilliant idea for something, only to lose it when you “come down”? Keeping the government patent office’s phone number on speed dial could mean the difference in being the next great Edison or losing the idea when the roller coaster hits stop.

2. Loud music. MP3, CD player, or your own rock goddess voice. (hahaha i would sing throughout the whole house! i WAS the one and only rock godess!) This is a definite must have. Buy an extra and store it in The Box.

3. Memo recorder…….the most thought provoking, earth shattering ideas come to us while manic. We need to record them!

4. Map….when else do we get the wild hair up our butt to travel to unknown places. And, we surely have to know how to get there. Plus, we may need to find a place to hide from those dreary, boring people who are harping at us to call our psych doc or T. (i drove an hour from college to see my friend - life or death)

5. Phone numbers of all your friends that you have ever had since grade school. Face it…….we like to chat quite a bit when manic and can run through several dozen conversations with various people in a short time. We don’t want to run out of listeners. So, while you are thinking about it, now, get out your phone books, address books , year books, etc. and write those numbers down!

6.Art supplies, camera, cookbooks, etc. NOBODY is more creative than a person in the throws of manic highs. We can paint, write, take photos, cook gourmet’ meals and do EVERYTHING else better than ANYBODY else.

7. Large sunglasses……..our eyes tend to turn very red after not sleeping for days on end. Don’t want to get pulled over by a cop only to have him see your very bloodshot eyes. Artificial tear drops would be handy, too.

8.Hats…..we usually don’t have time to do our hair while manic. There’s much more interesting things to take care of. OR, we do our hair and it looks like Amy Winehouse’s or bald Brit’s.

9. Bail money….no explanation necessary

10. Cowbell…..no explanation necessary

11. Book, “One Thousand Ways to Apologize”….no explanation needed on this one either."
