I fucking love bipolar people
(hexbear.net)
Hell yeah!
That’s what my wife says!
Thank you 
Of course 
I tend to get along the best with people who are bipolar or that type of ADHD where they just can't hide it and it spills into every facet of their lives.
I'm too depressed and too autistic to be particularly interesting myself. Especially these days. At best I'm interesting in that university lecturer sort of way where it is interesting but goddamn is it so boring aat the same time. So when I'm around boring people I'm pretty boring too. But stick me next to a bipolar person or a hardcore ADHDer and the chaotic joie de vivre energy they project ends up getting reflected by me and we tend to get along like a house on fire. Also when those lows inevitably hit, I'm right there with them because I can relate.
I vibe with autistic people a lot too but it's different.
This whole comment is lovely, but this phrasing
chaotic joie de vivre energy
especially makes me feel better about being myself, thank you. ❤️
I'm sure you know, a lot of people find it pretty annoying. It's nice to be reminded that it's treasured by some.
My favourite response to people who say or imply that you're too much is a simple "Go find less".
I think it's just perfectly laconic and it's great in how the way it inverts that judgemental attitude
It reminds of an old interview in some media outlet's archive with Björk, from memory about her second album Post, where she said something to the effect of "The album is very square, you know? And if you don't like it you can fuck off." I aspire to embody that attitude - nobody is forcing you to listen to that album or to profess your appreciation for it. If you don't like it - fine, whatever. I try to remind myself that this is an acceptable position to have regarding my personality and my being a bit of an oddball; if you don't like it fuck off.
I very very much appreciate you!
i've never been assessed for anything in my life because I have an irrational dislike of psychologists, but one of my friends is bipolar and big same they rock 
I have a rational dislike for psychology
I only say irrational because I've never really been to one
I definitely have some legit reasons to at least be skeptical, and like 30% of them are from the horror stories people have had on this website
You get it
It's fucking exhausting, but goddamn do I love the creative bursts.
All the people closest to my heart have bipolar disorder.
Big same. Maybe there is something comforting to my autism that that some people cannot fully suppress their authenticity, lows and all. I feel safer in such company, and hope I can offer similar refuge

What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input
