It\u2019s time to get the word out about Charlie Sheen and mania. He is in a manic episode.\u00a0\u00a0 I know because I have been there as have the tens of thousands of\u00a0 people who come to my blog every month.\u00a0 Mania has very, very distinct symptoms that are not matched in any other illness- nor are they similar to what a person says when they are drunk or on drugs. This is an important distinction.\u00a0 To prove a point and to help Charlie Sheen get help- I have created a list of manic symptoms\u00a0that match his quotes. \u00a0This can be a reference for the media that continues to exploit him instead of recognizing a very obvious illness.\u00a0 Here is the list and please note that it\u2019s simply impossible for a \u2018normal\u2019 brain to come up with these quotes. This is mania:<\/p>\n

Grandiose thinking and talking<\/strong>– “I’m tired of pretending I’m not special. I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars. People can’t figure me out. They can’t process me. I don’t expect them to. You can’t process me with a normal brain.”<\/p>\n

Hyper Sexuality-<\/strong> \u00a0On his porn star family “Let me say this about the Goddesses, I don’t think the term is good enough, but when you’re bound by these terrestrial descriptions, you must use the best term available. So if you think about it, dude, I’m 0-for-3 in marriage, but like in baseball, the scoreboard doesn’t lie. Never has. So what we all have is a marriage of the hearts. And to sully, contaminate, or radically disrespect this unit with a shameful contract is something I’ll leave to the amateurs and bible grippers.”<\/p>\n

Compulsive talking<\/strong>– also known as pressured speech- can\u2019t let other\u2019s talk, etc. This is pretty darn obvious and one reason the media can\u2019t get enough.<\/p>\n

Compulsive Spending:<\/strong> \u00a0When someone has this much money, the spending is not as reported. \u00a0<\/p>\n

You\u2019re a magnet to others:<\/strong> \u00a0It\u2019s easy to get an entourage when you are manic. Many people with bipolar meet their partners when they are manic.<\/p>\n

Absolutely, positively unable to see that you\u2019re sick:<\/strong> “No. Not going to. Period. The end. I blinked and I cured my brain. Can’t is the cancer of happen.”<\/p>\n

Wrecked relationships<\/strong>: on his wife\u2019s restraining order: “Great. I was already planning on staying 100 parsecs away from her.” (A parsec is a unit of length equaling 3.26 light-years.)<\/p>\n

No sleep-<\/strong> this is obvious. This man is not sleeping.<\/p>\n

Extremely strange and out of context connections in sentences:\u00a0 <\/strong>“I’m sorry, man, but I’ve got magic. I’ve got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time — and this includes naps — I’m an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agitation: Inability to sit down.\u00a0 Restless and unable to follow a normal routine.<\/strong> Obvious.<\/p>\n

Changes in facial looks-<\/strong> a quote from a\u00a0 magazine: \u201cHe looks cadaverous.\u201d \u00a0All people in a agitated manic episode look like this. They sweat a lot- their eyes look wild and their body language changes.<\/p>\n

Excessive drug and alcohol use-<\/strong>\u00a0 people in a manic episode can consume an unbelievable amount of drugs and alcohol as compared to the general population.\u00a0 This can lead to mania in someone who has the latent gene that has not come out before. It\u2019s complicated, but a big issue in the medical community.<\/p>\n

Look carefully at what he says.<\/strong> Our brains simply are not capable of stringing these words together unless we are manic. It doesn\u2019t happen. The manic brain is racing and revving with chemicals that change the way a person thinks, looks, acts and talks. It\u2019s dangerous and can be deadly.<\/p>\n

Addressing Rumors He’s Bipolar: <\/strong>“I’m bi-winning. I win here and I win there. Now what? If I’m bipolar, aren’t there moments where a guy like crashes in the corner like, ‘Oh my God, it’s all my mom’s fault!’ Shut up! Shut up! Stop! Move forward.”<\/p>\n

“I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body. It’s too much.” He later told a reported he had Adonis and Tiger Blood.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0THIS IS A PLEA TO THE MEDIA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stop reporting on this like it\u2019s a Charlie Sheen freak show. It is going to be absolutely devastating to him when the episode ends and he realizes what has happened.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to believe this, but he is not aware of what is going on. None of us are when we get this manic. Read more about bipolar mania and try to recognize that what he is going through is a very serious illness. Don\u2019t exploit him. Help him. \u00a0Bipolar disorder has a 10% suicide rate and what goes up must come down. When the depression happens after one of these episodes, it\u2019s the most dangerous time for a person with bipolar disorder. \u00a0 I read this morning that some media outlets are preparing for Charlie Sheen’s obituary.<\/p>\n
