Mania Abuse It’s Real and Must Be Stopped!
Did you know that the this abuse is very rarely reported it is estimated that one out of every three people living with Manic Depression also called Bipolar Disorder have been victims of this type of abuse. What is this horrific abuse? It’s call Manic Abuse, it is when you become hypo-manic or are in a full manic episode just before a major Holidays and you seem to become the most popular person to friends and family that normal don’t call much… Why? Because 85% of Manic Depressive people SPEND MONEY on others during this type of episode.
How can it be stopped? How to recognize it:
- Educate yourself… Manic Abusers only show up or call at certain times during the year…
- Practice paranoid therapy… If you think they want something from you, you may just be right!
- Stay connected to family and friends after the said event… if they avoid you or don’t reciprocate your kindness, write their names as potential Manic Abusers.
- Join a M.A. support group.
- Practice Manic Abuser techniques: Show up at their house uninvited, or when you’re depressed and note their reaction.
- Tell your list of Manic Abusers that your Depressed when they call or come by… Studies show they will leave you alone, once they know they can’t get you to buy them stuff.
This is serious. Manic Abuse peeks between November 28th to December 24th for some unexplained reason. It has also been noticed a few days before some gift giving events such as birthdays, and wedding anniversaries… Even if the victim never even went to the wedding or was banned from it… This phenomena lays in stark contrast to the normal avoidance and lack of friendly contact the bipolar victim has with the said Manic Abuser…
Help us put an end to Manic Abuse by going by donating all your money to me… Then you will be broke and they will leave you all alone.
Now it is possible there could be a smidgen of truth to this made up phenomena so one might believe Manic Abuse is real… DON’T, I just came up with today cause I was board. Come on , every good story has to have some truth in it… right? I will let you figure out what’s true. I hope you enjoyed my cartoon and tall tale!
