Bye Polar - Manic Episodes: Born To Be Shut Down

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. read less

Do Not Stage Your Pain: Hamlet did That and Had More Tragedy.
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!
