Bipolarity – the balance… As my world is not only made of ominous clouds and rough lands, here I present you a trip to the other side of the spirit, where calmness prevails above everything else… José Ramos

This is my visual representation of the feeling of being bipolar.

BRONZE Have any you made a Bronze before, wow what a journey that is. I wanted to do something different. I know its not anatomically proportioned but I did not want her to be. I can take a joke at bipolar disorder only because I can laugh at myself. I have the disorder, and this is how it feels. I feel naked half the time, exposed and vulnerable. I am obsessive about shoes, I collect them amongst other things. I am always in a muddle, running, loosing my thoughts, my focus and my sanity. However, I am creative and I am excitable…just like my bronze. I love her I hope you do also. This Bronze is for Sale. It is in a few up and coming shows but I would negotiate a sale after the competitions were over. belinda.nye@bigpond.com

Oil painting. I must add something to this weird picture. I have bipolar disorder and today I went to the doctors and once again they want to try me on lithium…..which by the way I won’t take ever! But this painting is my attempt to describe what it feels like to be inside the box. There is no real answer for bipolar, its just makes you seem stranger the rest of the world. Sometimes I feel like I am a stranger within myself. Like I don’t know who I am anymore, when I act out of character. I want to retreat inside the box, try to reflect on my actions. But it doesn’t help. I feel like a stranger trapped inside a box. This is where this came from. Somewhere inside of me. Not the best attempts at a painting and not received too well at school but still when I look at it I sense the restraints of having this invisible disorder that no-one can truly understand, not even the person who has it.

Self Portrait. Everyones in on the joke but me. Graphite Pencil on paper (c) REO 2007

Happiness is not a priviledge… it’s a right! Here’s my painting about being free to be happy, being on top of the world, being crazy… escaping to daydreams when I need a little break from it all. Mixed Media on Canvas… maybe still more work to go but the paint is so “fat” in some areas I have to stop for a while – may end up re-loading this work when I get round to doing the final touches. Thanks for looking, and as always, thanks for all your wonderful comments & support!

I am adding all of these dark self portraits because of the tenth anniversary today of my sobriety. damn that’s a long time. Still find it iron hard to believe. / This piece remains from 1st year University, when things were far more difficult for me, before I had come to terms with my alcoholism or my bipolar. The image is one that I have drawn several times, though this piece is the most effective. I don’t really understand why, but some people have difficulty in seeing what the figure (me) is doing.) I am hunched over, one pointy boot at the bottom, above that a knee directly out to the viewer. My right hand is wrapped around my side, coming out under my armpit. The other is clamped over my head, with my long hair hanging down through it. You get the idea… I am far from this place now. It is so named because though that is where I was, I did not stay there. And everything that I experienced felt like a horror carnival ride from some awful show. It’s torn at the top, but framed that way it looks… well it really works, definitively perhaps because the tear was not made by deliberate fingers, but by time and, hence, directly through the instability of myself and my life. I sold it from my webpage recently, to an american neuro-scientist directly from my webpage (down presently the bastard isp!) / He wrote me the most intense reply when he finally received the work. It made me cry, as he described to me that he himself had

I have been selected to join the Australian THEBIPOLAREXPEDITION and to ski to the South Pole in November 2009. THEBIPOLAREXPEDITION a not-for-profit initiative is aimed at building a new awareness about the issues facing people with Bipolar Disorder and to raise funds to give grants for vital research into the causes and more effective diagnosis. We have partnered with the Australian Rotary Health Research Fund and the Black Dog Institute, and have arranged for Network Ten to be a media sponsor. The Bipolar Expedition is an exciting adventure aimed at raising awareness and money for research into Bipolar Affective Disorder. The Bipolar Expedition involves two treks – one to the South Pole in November 2008 and one to the North Pole in April 2009. Video footage from both will be made into a documentary about Bipolar Expedition (and fundraising activities during the lead up to the treks) . I am hoping to raise money for the project through a number of activities including the sale of this T shirt. http://web.me.com/davidcregan/Bipolar/WELCOME.html

Bipolar disorder used to be called ‘manic depression’. As the older name suggests, someone with bipolar disorder will have severe mood swings. These usually last several weeks or months and are far beyond what most of us experience. / About 1 in every 100 adults has bipolar disorder at some point in their life. It usually starts during or after the teenage years. It is unusual for it to start after the age of 40. Men and women are affected equally. You can find out more at www.rcpsych.ac.uk

In Roman mythology, Janus (or Ianus) was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings, and endings. Janus was usually depicted with two heads (not faces) looking in opposite directions, and was frequently used to symbolize change and transitions such as the progression of past to future, of one condition to another, of one vision to another, the growing up of young people, and of one universe to another. He was also known as the figure representing time because he could see into the past with one face and into the future with the other. Hence, Janus was worshipped at the beginnings of the harvest and planting times, as well as marriages, births and other beginnings. He was representative of the middle ground between barbarity and civilization, rural country and urban cities, and youth and adulthood.

What type of pain is the worst / the invisible pain / I believe I am slightly bipolar / A manic depressive / Power my energies into art and you have an unstoppable force / . / Leave me alone with nothing to do but focus on myself and … / Around one in every 200 people in the UK develops bipolar and other related mood disorders. Signs of depression include losing weight, feeling totally negative about oneself, feel hopeless about the future and sometimes ending up in a depressive stupor in bed, unable to move, eat, drink or talk. People with bipolar disorder may also experience extreme mood highs, overactivity, increased libido, sleeplessness and grandiose delusions. Facts from http://www.ucl.ac.uk/media/library/bipolar / . / They believe they have found the Gene responsible for this disorder. / Lets assume they have and can even remove it, (Ok science fiction) but lets pretend. Just imagine I have mine removed. ME would no longer be me. Just as my dyslexia causes me to think differently. It can be both a blessing and a curse. PS worry not about my mental state this image was created almost 2 years ago.

Music, our universal language can have a profound / impact on our lives. One of the categories in the / forum of the group I host, the healing journey contains / favorite songs of our members. One woman stated that / the artist Libby Broderick speaks so deeply to her / that she feels that the artist has saved her life during the / tormented cycles of bipolar illness. It is always a / gift to share the lyrics of musicians that have the talent / to touch our deepest wounds in times of great despair, This rock abstract of what appears to be a wounded soul with / penetrating blue eyes is enhanced by Libby’s / emotionally stirring and deeply soulful lyrics. Please view this in the large format. I am standing at a crossroads, my heart is in my hands / In all the four directions an endless flow of land / A full moon shines above me, the rain pours down like fire / May the colors of the rainbow be my guide.| / Once in a very blue moon, twice in a very red rage Three times in a snow white passion I burst the walls of this cage / Once in a very blue moon, twice in a very red sky / Three times in a coal-black evening I spoke the words of goodbye / As I look into your very blue eyes, I stand here wondering why Once in a very blue, once in a very blue moon / Once in a very blue moon. / You are standing at the crossroads, deciding where to go / The fields are ripe with harvest, your feet are deep in snow A brilliant sun above you, your eyes are raining tears / May the colors of the rainbow be your guide / Once in a very blue moon, twice in a very red rage / Three times in a snow white passion, I burst the walls of this cage / Once in a very blue moon, twice in a very red sky / Three times in a coal-black evening I spoke the words of goodbye As you look into my very blue eyes, you stand there wondering why Once in a very blue, once in a very blue moon / Once in a very blue moon / Reach out your hand, tell me you love me, give me a sign, show me the way / Lend me your voice, heavens above me, earth is below, I’ve got nothing to say / Open my mind, open the floodgates, open the door, open the way / Reach out your hand, tell me you love me, tell me goodbye / I am standing at the crossroads, my heart is torn in two / I am thinking of my own life, I am thinking just of you My legs grown into tree roots, my heart is now the moon / May the colors of the rainbow be our guide / Once in a very blue moon, twice in a very red rage / Three times in a snow white passion, I burst the walls of this cage / Once in a very blue moon, twice in a very red sky / Three times in a coal-black evening I spoke the words of goodbye As you look into my very blue eyes, you stand there wondering why Once in a very blue, once in a very blue moon / Once in a very blue moon… Words and music by Libby Roderick / c Libby Roderick Music 1991 / BMI.

© Simone Byrne Photography, 2007. All Rights Reserved. 29th November 2007 Tree Graveyard at sunset, Redesdale. What is Bipolar? Bipolar Disorder is a medical illness that causes severe mood swings which are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. People who suffer from this illness lack the control mechanism that enables them to pull away from emotional situations and as such their lives may spiral out of control, through no fault of their own. The illness is very serious and very real and affects not only the sufferer, but their friends and family as well. There is still a lot of stigma attached to this disease, given that it is a mental illness to which very little is known about. It is incurable, but can be controlled by diet and medication. Most bipolar types are brilliant, creative, inspiring, loving, generous and caring individuals who contribute to making the world a better place, but all the while they themselves struggle every day to survive.
