Bye Polar - Manic Episodes: Born To Be Shut Down: Recent Episodes
Frank Borges
Bye Polar - Manic Episodes is a podcast hosted by the actor and playwright Frank Borges. He created it during a manic episode, which means he was feeling like Superman. So, only God knows what will happen when it goes away. Meanwhile, Frank will go deeper into his mental disorder, correlating it with many subjects to bring what he likes in his bipolar disorder the most: the chance of learning. More than giving advice, Frank will talk about the positive aspects of being bipolar after discovering you have it, which, in his opinion, overcomes the bad ones. And do not worry about having fun on Bye Polar - Manic Episodes. Besides running, reading, writing, and cheering for Roger Federer, one of Frank's specialties is mood shifting.
Hey everyone! Life is unpredictable, either positively or negatively. But one thing can be planned: the way we react to our unexpected emotional transitions. In this episode, I will talk about the changes between manic episodes and depressive episodes and vice versa, identifying and taking control of them. There are so many ways to take advantage of your different moods. You only need to identify them and use them as a positive tool in your life.
Hello everyone! Welcome to my third episode. In this episode, I will talk about what I do when I feel hipper or sluggish during my manic and depressive episodes.

What's up, everyone! Welcome to my second episode. In this episode, I will discuss the importance of avoiding staging our suffering as a way out of it when we do not know we are bipolar. To help us with this task, I went through Shakespeare's play (again!): Hamlet. I will talk about how prince Hamlet made things worse after having his father murdered through a plot orchestrated by his uncle and mother. See you there!
Hello everyone! In my first episode, I talk about my childhood and teenage as bipolar: my family environment, three events that developed my bipolar disorder that would have its first manic episode some years after. I also track when and where my first manic episode happened, as well as how it took me to a dangerous place and how I handled it. Ready to jump into the free-fall zone between the mania and depression poles? So, let's be frank!
