But in American popular culture "having bipolar" became aspirational, because what was promised after the exhausting emotions were medicated was creativity, individuality, unique perspectives-

Absolute horseshit.

I love the idea of being supremely creative and productive because of bipolar disorder!

Proceeds to cheat on wife habitually, loses all money in Vegas/on the stock market with wild nonsensical gambles, loses job after job due to erratic behavior, proceeds to kill self during yet another period of absolutely crushing low mood because 'medication takes away the highs'.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, the meme of "bipolar disorder = creativity" seems to be a thing.

@FoidBlaster where you @ dawg?

Bipolar disorder isn't real, or rather, the vast majority who claim to have it don't in fact. Most of it is just a social contagion and the eternal need for women to be the center of attention. The only creativity that can be associated with these women, and I must emphasize women because this is entirely a woman phenomenon, is the many ways they find to victimize themselves and others who are perfectly healthy individuals but are ultimately easily impressionable and gullible. In any case, the pharmaceutical industry is more than happy to provide these imbeciles with loads of SSRIs and lithium capsules and other shitty medicines which they don't need and only harm their body and brain.

Okay ChatGPT none of that refutes the original passages point that certain mental illnesses are aspirational.

There's nothing really more to add here. :marseyshrug: Yes, our culture celebrates victimhood and vulnerability. Yes, there's a perverse economic incentive to create more and more people who become dependent on daily medication for non-existent disorders. There's also an element of clout and respect that plays a role here since a lot of these women simply want attention and to be heard. To me that's the only real "aspirational" value in it. In the end it's all just social contagion and foidbrain nonsense derived from a neurotic society and culture.

So yeah, I agree, certain mental illnesses are "aspirational", though I don't think that's quite the right term for this phenomenon. Affirmational would probably describe it better.

It was already my opinion and I think the phenomenon is pretty apparent these days :cdmshrug:
