Can Belief Initiate Bipolar Posted: 11-02-07 15:54pm
I was wondering if anyone else experienced
a manic episode after watching and fully
believing in the secret. I had never been
officially diagnosed with bipolar in the
late years of high school, yet i believe
looking back that i had very slight
bipolar tendencies. It came at the end of
my first year in university, and my
interpretation was one where I beleived as
long as I "felt good" which meant smoking
pot and just playing out visions in my
head they would manifest into my
experience.
I believed that i no longer had to go to
the gym, I could grow muslce mass by
conciously becoming aware of my metabolism
in my mind.
I believed that if I visualized my self
arriving at my destination, there was
absolutely no way i could crash by law of
attraction.
I beleived in order to "bring myself into
allignment" with being a millionaire that
I had to spend like one. I gave cabbies 20
dollar tips for 10 dollar fares.
Has anyone else had an intense manic
episode that was a result of this movie?
The depression after is serious, my
suicidal thoughts came in the line of
thought that"I am a spiritual being
trapped in this human body, and I dont
like my experience so far so maybe in
another life ill be able to experience and
what i really want to experience.
those thoughts were put to an end. I was
studying in Cnada abroad and I had to take
a year of to go overseas back home to get
medicated and be with my family. their
unconditional love and support made me see
that it would be damn selfish to bail out
when life gets rough.
I know the movie has a good premise, but i
cant help but loath some of the secret
teachers(especially Joe vitale) for their
deceitful messages, and gross over
simplifications of the universe. I cant
help these feelings but there was some
seriously dodgy marketing schemes that
made these people hella rich.
Id really really appreicate some feedback,
my psychiatrist is being a douche and
refuses to watch the movie.....but i told
him that this movie is a ticking timebomb
for anyone with bipolar....because it
makes you feel as if you had a spiritual
emergence and u are on a prophetic
mission.

I think perhaps that you missed the point
of the movie --- it seems that you're
dooming yourself to repeat a cycle that
reinforces daydreaming rather than
reality. You can't expect miracles to
happen by doing nothing --- you've got to
meet the universe halfway.
You CANNOT expect change to occur in your
life for free. You've got to work for
it!!! And if you're giving money away w/o
regard for what you're doing, you're
saying that you don't VALUE money at all.
Are you still smoking pot?
That got me in a rut, and it might b the
source of the delusions.

If u are talking about the secret that was
a book first no i do not agree. I heard
about this secret and positive thinking
leads to positive outcomes but i think the
author is in over her head, she is trying
to form some ideology. She says u are ur
own God and u have power over anything as
long as u believe. I believe in Jesus and
i wouldn't put myself as high as him. I
can not do magic and grow muscles without
exercising. Now there are some who say
with ur mind u can probably loose weight
that's because digestion is a natural
process and may be controled through the
brain. Now actually getting muscles that
lady is messing with ur head. That is why
i refuse to watch her movie. She is just
trying to make a buck. It's kinda like
communism nice in theory but not in
practice.
