Charlie Sheen, the star of Two And A Half Men, has never been diagnosed with bipolar disorder but he shows classic signs. It's painful for me to watch his latest interviews because it brings me back in time before I was treated from his twitchy demeanor to clearly unhealthy elevated unpredictable state. He has done drug test before going to some of his interviews so drugs don't account for his behavior."I am on a drug. It's called Charlie Sheen. It's not available. If you try it once, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body."
"It's perfect. It's awesome. Every day is just filled with just wins. All we do is put wins in the record books. We win so radically in our underwear before our first cup of coffee, it's scary. People say it's lonely at the top, but I sure like the view."
"People don't say you're the coolest guy in the world for 20 years if it's not true."
"I'm tired of pretending like I'm not special. I'm tired of pretending like I'm not bitching, a total fricking rock star from Mars, and 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,"
"I have a grandiose life. I embrace it." Sheen expounded. "Sorry my life is so much more bitchin' than yours. I planned it this way."
"I'm proud of what I created. Why wouldn't I be? I exposed people to magic. I exposed them to something that they otherwise would not see in their boring normal lives. And I gave that to them!"
"I have one speed, I have one gear: Go." "What's the cure, medicine to make me like them? Not gonna happen. I'm bi-winning. I win here, I win there. Now what? If I'm bipolar, aren't there moments when a guy like crashes?"
It's obvious to me that he will continue his cycle of feeling on top of the world with feelings of grandeur then crash, most likely to abuse drugs and alcohol once again. In my experience the higher I felt, the greater the crash.
I don't want to bash him, I hope the best for him and his future but until he seeks treatment he will proceed to ride this uncontrollable roller coaster up and down and around again.
