EL LE MENTAL MINDS

The concept of an ELEMENT refers to the ancient idea of ELEMENTS as fundamental building blocks of nature.
There are 4 basic elemental types:
EARTH, WATER, AIR, FIRE

ELLEMENTAL MINDS is the concept that our minds (BIPOLAR MINDS) have been blessed with some extra ELEMENTS...
Hence the term ELLEMENTAL with the EXTRA L. The EXTRA enables us to experience LIFE with INTENSE EMOTION, THE INTENSE DESIRE TO DREAM.

ELLEMENTAL MINDS are creative, passionate people.
WE MUST NOT FEAR OUR MINDS BUT INSTEAD ENGAGE OUR MINDS TO CREATE GREAT THINGS.


EL LE MENTAL MINDS.....BE IN YOUR ELLEMENT!

What is bipolar disorder?

DEFINITION of BIPOLAR DISORER :(: formerly known as manic-depression, is a biological disorder of the brain characterized by debilitating mood swings. This condition can cause serious shifts in mood, energy, thinking, and behavior. This is more than just a fleeting good or bad mood. Typically when someone is cycling from highs of mania, to lows of depression the cycles may last for days, weeks, or months. And unlike ordinary mood swings, the mood changes of bipolar disorder are so intense that they interfere with your ability to function.

You are NOT ALONE

If you are reading this right now chances are you have been diagnosed with a Bipolar Disorder, you suspect that you might have this disorder or you are a family or friend of someone who has a Bipolar disorder. WELCOME one and ALL!

We who have a Bipolar Disorder have spent a majority of our lives feeling that we are alone. After all how can anyway else feel this way. It's confusing, It's upsetting, and after a while you just get used to it. Before a doctor handed me my diagnosis, my thought was this, " I guess this is just how I am". Now the "this is how I am" has a name...Bipolar. After I was diagnosed, like many out there I was upset, denied it... you guessed it 5 stages of Grief.

Denial & Isolation, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance

Still working on getting to acceptance. (: In the meantime this website has been created in hopes of reaching out to like minded people. Remember you are not alone. There are many of us going through the same exact thing.

Psychological Thriller

The movie Sucker Punch has been described by some as a psychological thriller...I just watched it for the first time today and the ending quote from the movie truly spoke to me....

"And finally, this question...The mystery of whose story it will be...Of who draws the curtain. 
Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad, lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it...that tells all these things?

Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we'll never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us and who holds the key that can set us free? 

                         It's you! You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!"
