I am bipolar and it is very important that people understand that it is a tangible issue that you can beat if you treat it properly. It took me a long time to get it diagnosed, however now I am on Epilim and have a health lifestyle and feel great. The key thing that makes you know you have bipolar is if you are doing things without control. There is a complete lack of empathy and a detatchment from your actions and feelings.
Wow... so many people claiming it's not a real thing. That's a shame. This isn't about needing to "find God" or "get off the drugs". It's a real mental condition with real consequences if left unchecked. Just because you were misdiagnosed with it doesn't mean NO ONE has it.
for 3 yrs i was told i had bipolar and pussed it and belived it... i wanted to die and went completly crazy.. my moods where up and down all the while.. then i found islam and i am completly fine now.. there no such thing as bipolar its the devil dragging u down! why u think ure never happy? never at peace in ure heart its cse u got no god in u.. next time u any1 has funny mood. turn away from drugs drink n pray... n one day in god will u will be fine.. just search evry religion
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a mental health watchdog, responsible for helping to enact 150+ laws protecting us from abusive or coercive practices.
CCHR has fought to restore human rights to mental health, including, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric labels,Risks of psychiatric treatments,
+ the RIGHT TO REFUSE TREATMENT. I was a victim of psychiatry for many years,Im not part of thisCCHR but agree 100%, I post onward............^v
diabetes and related complications like hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, pancreatitis, coma, and death. Side effects can develop at any point during treatment.This is not to say that people do not get depressed, or that people can’t experience emotional or mental duress, but psychiatry has repackaged these emotions and behaviors as “disease” in order to sell drugs. This is a brilliant marketing campaign, but it is not science. - too many years I was a victim of psychiarty.
@HeyHayles7 are u really bipolar of are basing it just from the video ... Cuz if u are saying ur bipolar with out haveing ben told that from someone else like a shrink . Then ur not bipolar . I really am bipolar and im omost sure that ur not . If u are sorry i just dont like it when people do that kind of stuff
I have "suffered from Depakote and the amphetamines for years" and before and after, I sought dudes with big dicks and sex for "months" and I am not gay or racial supremacists and was laughed at but I got it after awhile...
I'm 14 years old. I have had all these symptoms since the middle of 5th grade or so. I'm going into 9th. It's 3 am. I'm crying and hurting.. My mom wont believe me. She found a note that I had wrote one night when I tried to kill myself. I told her I think I'm bipolar. But I don't just think, I know. She didn't say anything.. A look on her face as if she wanted to ignore it. Like it's not real. Like I'm normal and that;s all she wanted... All I can to do is wait. Stay a live till I'm older.
Perhaps the key insight of Jungian psychology is that mental illness is not a purely individual phenomenon, but a manifestation of larger imbalances in the culture and psyche of mankind. Schizophrenics are the scapegoats of a culture which clings to superficial certainties, refusing to confront the contradictions and questions bubbling up from it's own depths; they are the receptacles of all the psychical garbage which has been denied and has yet to be dealt with in the culture.
when did it become wrong to feel down? everyone experiences a time when they feel a bit sad. we have becomed a materialistic world - dr gives out pills to not feel anyting. of course, people who are bipolar and so on need it.
all i am saying is that are we all supposed to be happy and perfect?
Sometimes I get into a state where I experience many emotions at once , it's hard to explain. My teachers don't understand, sometimes I get really mad and I don't do my homework. One day I didnt do any of my homeworks because I tried to kill myself and failed. I just really want to get help .
Ive been called bipolar for years from my brother and some of my friends. I just started to slightly believe it. Recently I have a certain mood for a week or days. One week I was extremely social, the other week I was anxious and depressed wen ever I am put in situations I get easily overwhelmed and break something. Yesterday I repeatedly stabbed my phone until it broke, a week ago I broke my chair , and 2 weeks ago I broke my music stand. In a week or two I'm getting a evaluation, hopefully I
In Germany systematic maltreatment of children is organized by the state and executed by snitchers.The psychiatric literature holds reports of jewish children having been persecuted likewise.Since WW2 psychiatry was misused by Germany to persecute the NAZI victims.Germany pretended to pay compensation to get the former victims into the hand of shrinks certifying them being mental cases due to persecution.Sometimes they even got some 100$compensation.Check out my subtitled films on Bernd Seiffert
You could give one of these stupid fuckers' sugar pills,tell them they are antidepressants and they will work.This bi polar shit is stupid shit white women made up.Welcome to the human race dumb fucks.Deal with life.
@1nativeaustintexan - you wanna watch these videos...which you already have, no doubt because you think you have bipolar - and listen to them carefully! Never mind "deal with it", dont you think we are! And as for "white women making it up?" look at how many black women are suffering too.....black men and white men also. If you dont afree with it then get off this site!
Shut the fuck up @diplomunion I'm diagnosed with bipolar disorder it's not my fault my mother was on weed when she was pregnant with me. It's not my fault I was born with these symptoms. I didn't started to have manic episodes on purpose. I can't control myself. It's my chemical imbalance that I have. That's really ignorant what you just said.
I am so sick of hearing about bipolar disorder. It is a load of shit; it is just a bunch of people who didn't get enough attention as children, so they develop these symptons in there head so they can make other peoples lives miserable and so they can get attention. If you ever meet anyone with bipolar disorder, RUN! This is the best thing you can do for yourself and the other person... They are mentally unstable and need to put a bullet in there head...
@diplomunion -thats unfair....i have mental health issues in both sides of my family and i have made a conscious decision not to have children for that reason although it hurts so much! I want to protect those around me as I love them and would not wish this condition on anyone. Believe me, the condition is very confusing and hurts me very much but I am determined to get myself sorted and get back into the proffession I trained for x x
@diplomunion - you are totally unfair by saying such things. I have grown up with 2 parents whose parents both have mental illness - i did not ask to be brought into this world! I have made a concious decision to not have a child...and believe me, at 36 year old, i want that more than anything - but can not face passing the condition on. We have to break the chain at sometime.....dont we?? I grew up in the care system so yeah, I have had a troubled life but I have also built a life for myself x

@terrie19775 I know exactly what you mean about wanting to have children more than anything, but being too scared to pass this illness on to a child. Hang in there =)
@diplomunion So first you say Bipolar is a load of shit and doesn't exist. Then you say these symptoms (and so the disorder) exist, and so JUST to make other's life miserable.How you can live with yourself? You probably think you're really cool for being so radical. The unstableness can be cured, as mentioned, but your lack of intelligence and extreme level of worrying seem to have rotted your synapses. Your sad existence, and worrying level of ignorance beg to bite the bullet.
I've been recently diagnosed with bipolar. The say if you get it, then you have it for life, and here I only thought it was depression for the last 6 years.
I AM TRYING TO GET A GROUP TOGETHER ITS CALLED KIDS WITH BIPOLAR ITS ON FACEBOOK AND IT HAS A BLUE PIC OF A BRAIN AND I AM TRYING TO GET ALLOT OF PEOPLE TO JOIN 2 SUPPORT IT MESSAGE ME FOR THE LINK IF U CAN'T FIND IT PLEASE IF U ARE PASSING BY THIS COMMENT PLEASE JOIN THAT GROUP ON FACEBOOK AND AS FAST AS I CAN GET ALLOT OF PEOPLE MORE THEN LIKE 100,000 PEOPLE TO LIKE MY PAGE I CAN GET AN NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION TOGETHER AND U GUYS CAN BE PART OF IT SO PLEASE JOIN MY FACEBOOK :) 4 MORE INFO :)
On a good note, how can being "Bipolar" even be a bad problem when the terms that justify an "illness" are generally regulated by common people of a profoundly sick society? Ironically that dosen't justify a condition It's just another point of view.. polar view!. Ppl dealing with this at least experience a broader spectrum of human emotions everyday (even If forcibly) If anyone, they should be diagnosing society for failing to adjust to the bigger picture of being human not the other way around
also words like depresion/ bipolar/psycosis/scitzophrenia/ are thrown about in evry day launage with out any understanding of what they meen eg. i was at a frends house the other day and she said her daghter is depressed becase she did not get to go to the cinema the night before, psycosis is often mistoke for psycopath. bipolar used to explain a stars behavior when in most cases it drugs. scitzophrenia mistakin for split personality ect ect
just a note on these videos in general. a mental helth problem is nothing more than an exagiration of normality. videos like this are great they get the mesage out to people whi suffer mental health ishues. on the other hand they can cause hypocondria for example evry one feals a good at times and not great at others and this can follow a cycle. bipolar is very difrent. the best defenition i ever got as to what a condition is. is when it segnificantly interfears with your life
I'm unsure as to if I have bipolar. There are gaps of normality inbtween the peaks, and it happens over a much shorter time scale. Otherwise it matches up completley. It's really starting to affect my life.
Google: Dr. Peter Breggin and learn the truth about psyche-meds. What Big Pharma doesn't want you to know. See his testimony before Congress, and check out his books: "Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications" and "Brain Disabling Treatments In Psychiatry" If you go nuts when you get off meds, it's because you're in WITHDRAWAL from a dangerous drug. See: "The Gerson Therapy", "Healing Cancer From Inside Out", and read "When Healing Becomes A Crime"
Our culture is the problem, not the individuals who "need" to be drugged in order to fit into it. "It is no measure of health, to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society." (krishnamurti) Look up: Dr. Peter Breggin. Also: Healing Cancer From Inside Out, and When Healing Becomes A Crime

thanks, this video is helpful,, nobody understands me i think i have the symptoms of bipolar.but i cant tell it to anybody, people around me are not so open about it..they might think that i am making all this "depression" thing up..too bad i cant go for a doctor to check me.im afraid my family will find out about it.. i don't know what to do..i experiencing it after graduation..its been a year now ...im so pathetic..i even write on youtube hoping that someone could give me a hand..SORRY.poor me
@rabbit888ful your not alone, I believe i've been suffering from this for the past 5 years or maybe even longer. I have very similar symptoms of compulsiveness then feeling guilty for being compulsive, exciting joy for the people and things i love to the complete opposite when i feel very irritated by the same people or for what i find to be enjoying. My family believes that if it isn't cancer then it's your own fault but I'm right there with you.
@spiderjonze (continued) No one ever wants this bullshit in their lives it just happens, your making the right step by expressing your inner thoughts on here, I know people might criticize both of us for trying to be open but maybe that's the key. Be more open to this instead of hiding it all inside cause then this could become dangerous! We all have issues even the people who say they don't are lying! No one is made from a god's cloth or image your a human being and these emotions...
some people with mood swings might also have a problem with thyroid gland. I know i had hypothyroid all i took was thyroid medication one gram. Not every person with mood swings suffers id vi polar millions are given anti psychotic drugs instead of a simple pill to correct thyroid
BiPolar is an amazing gift, if you learn how to tame the beast and use your spiritual powers to the good. If you look back in history, to the myth of Hercules. The characteristics of Hercules would coincide to those that someone would now be classed as 'bi-polar'. So you are now classed as having some form of problem. In Ancient times, you would have been described as a god trapped inside a human body.
He has no life, Hes online ALL DAY trolling comments........Seriously post a negative remark on his page and you will be blocked with in minutes at any time of the day....Hes got no job lol, His wife and kid left him and moved to arizona, They got a restraing order, He got in big trouble for doing shitty electrical work, He threatened her when she said she was going to leave him, Now he wears her makeup she left behind, and hits on teen boys on blogtv the circle is complete ROFL.
it upsets me what some people think of people that have this disorder. its funny bcuz i once told someone i had it and they said everyone does. basically some people have normal lives and others have more difficult ones. the doctors think this is a good way to make money off of us by giving us medicine that can likely in the end kill us. ive never taken medicine for it and most likely never will. like i always say...normal is boring. i like me just the way i am. y would i want to change myself?
You treat bipolar disorder with a stick or wip. Once the bipolar nut understands how you will treat them they shape up quickly and will stop being assholes. lol
Don't go on depakote. That shit is horrible. Rot the teeth right out your head. It took a few years, but believe me, there are other ways, depakote is a huge mistake
Kind of basic information but then what else is there to know.
It's definitely not a fake illness and has affected my life in a very significant way.
As for pharmaceutical companies yes this is a big problem in our society however it's not just limited to Bipolar disorder but many health issues where medication is required. Besides some common medications for Bipolar disorder are relatively cheap such as Lithium and Depakote.
If you wanna cure Bipolar Disorder, Legalize Cannabis! It can stabilize your mood, while making you happy, and it can inspire you creatively. Believe me, I know, I'm a guitarist diagnosed with this...
my sister has bipolar disorder...and...welll....its not pretty Xo She's like happy one second and then screaming the next, she's practically unstable T^T
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What does Bipolar do? It lines the pockets of BIG PHARM and doctors. There is no such illness. Bipolar is FAKE!!! It didn't exist years ago and now all of a sudden the is "a label" for people who don't want to take responsibility for their own actions. It's so much easier to blame this fake illness. Kinda like saying..."the devil made me do it". Grow up for Chris's sake.
@Abrading1 While I agree that all kinds of drugs do get pushed, you're wrong about Bipolar. First off, many things haven't had a "label" till they were truly understood. Also, I urge you to check your facts. For some time it has existed but, again, did not have name. When I was a child, I was a "bad child" because I would go from being all over the place to just wanting to sleep. I'm not the only one. Many people suffer. You CAN'T understand. You just can't. I would just waste time trying.
@Abrading1 Thinking about that now...it just doesn't make sense. How did you even come to this conclusion? Where are your facts? How is it "people not taking responsibility for their actions"? Especially when it has more to do with it than that. That's far too black and white..and nonsensical. I think you're just trolling and I should have not even given notice to it.
@Abrading1 Before you post something get informed do some research on the Internet. Bipolar is a serious illness unfortunately its NOT FAKE!! Do you really think we choose to destroy our lives and depend on medications to function? You are so Ignorant to the true causes of this illness. Everyday is a struggle for us and people like you make it worse.
@Abrading1 Ever been to a mental health facility? Ever dealt with someone going through a manic or even hypomanic episode? It's not just a name. Bipolar is simply a modern term to describe manic depression. People have been writing about it for 2000 years. It's been a clinically recognised illness since the mid-19th Century.
This is y I take oxycontin or any type of pain killer really. It gives me a nice lil body buzz and in that split moment I'm not depressed,tired, or mad. I'm just real mellow.
i know doctors are so quick to diagnose kids with riddelin or lithium. I mean how would bands like tool or marylin manson sell albums without depressed teens listening...
Lamictal was the worst medication I've ever taken. I started it to get out of depression but it only brought me to the realization that clinical depression wasn't the worst I could feel. Lamictal made life feel like I was living in a movie (nothing seemed real) with the exception of a panic attack every 20 minutes that would be so severe my skin would burn and I couldn't believe I wasn't dying.
I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 in 1991 and after a lot of cognitive behaviorial therapy along with proper medications, I now live a mostly depression & mood swing free life. Good psychiatrists recommend CBT and know their meds extremely well. I take Wellbutron XL 300 mg/day; also 50 mg of Lamictal (at night) along with 150 mg of Depakote and .05 mg of klonopin for sleep. Also, attending DBSA meetings in your area helps a lot. So, don't loose hope. Hope this helps all of you.
Don't take the chemicals but try the herbs first, cannabis is far more effective in my experince, just google "bipolar treatment cannabis" to see just how many people find this to be an effective treatment. herbs are so much gentler on the system and the head,
I have been diagnosed bipolar 2, cannabis has helped me better than olanzapine, valproate and lithium. you say about paranoia and anxiety the only thing that makes me slightly paranoid is ppl in uniforms confiscating my meds which is small fry and easy to cope with compared to the paranoia of the cold war and i get anxious when my meds are running out apart from that i'm fine and can cope with minor side effects but what the doctors give you forget it!!!!!!
What you said may sound helpful but me myself i have bipolar disorder i smoke weed everyday because im addicted and have for the past 5 years, when i smoke weed i find it elevates my anixety 5 times as much as well and constant negative thoughts, even voices tell me to for example jump off my buddys deck or telling me to jump infront of a car, something i have to ignore daily, honestly any sort of mental disorders should stay away from all non prescriptions, dont be as foolish as i still am
does people feel when on lithium after a while it stops working, then the doctors needs to put it work until ur a fucking zombie? I fucking hate this disorder!
speak for yourself , it doesn't make me stupid or many other ppl that i know of ie the guy that started aople computers and many mant other major achievers in life.
this guy is in law enforcement so he puts it so he thinks his opinion is the only opinion whereas the reality is he is a narrow minded fool who thinks his shit doesn't stink!
I have been told the same thing as you that the only way to heal my depression is to stop whats causing it...I dont know whats causing it i just feel depressed for no reason...no medication works and my doctor said there is no magic pill. so like you i am for ever fucked up.
Hang on....of course you are allowed to question things, otherwise how would most people come to accept their illness? Its right to question things, get things clear in your head but do try and keep taking the meds even if you don't want to
I dont know if im bipolaR But one day i wake up in the morning and I stared crying for nothing.During the whole day I was criying and I didnt know why. i couldnt sleep cause i couldnt stop crying for no reason.I wonder what happended =(
Coming from someone who is BP himself this rings so true. I have all of the symptoms and have struggled with addiction my whole life. People like Tim Cruise who condemn people who take psychotropic meds is an idiot and should be banned. Dont watch his movies, he is a cruel man who would rather see people suffer than get the help that meds can give someone diagnosed with BP.
There are new types of scans that can show inflamation. Have you looked into things like heavy metals toxicity or nutrient defficiency? Also food alergies can lead to mental illness.
I had a massive headache a little while ago, and I gotten a scan, but the docs said that everything looked normal. If I had some sort of Bi-polar disorder, wouldn't the scan had showed it?
What type of scan? Scans usually dont show things like depression or Bi-polar disorder. Unless they are caused by things like tumor or by some sort of inflamation.
i wish there was away without using drugs..not that i don't have money its just that this is who i am i just wanna learn how to control myself, not to be a different person
No matter whether you believe its all a drugs company conspiracy for more profits, there is no way you can control mania without the aid of medication or other treatment. the reason is simple, when you're "up" you don't believe there is anything at all wrong, I always feel great - but I do stuff that causes me a great deal of anxiety afterwards. Learning to control your episodes takes years of understanding the triggers whilst under medication to help you control the worst excesses.
Have you looked into diet change at all? And gut/digestive health? Sounds like BS but a lot of my mental issues were/are directly linked to the condition of my digestive system.
I have been manic for 30 ys, ever since I was 13. What the man in this video is saying is true. It is rare someone who is truly bipolar can make it without medication. So people with their beliefs about drugs can take it from someone who is truly manic-deppressive. And that is that they are a neccessary evil.
All i can say is truehope is #1 the owners are like my family!.. You support them i support you! truehopedave recovery takes time! and i hope my book opens eyes! subscribe to my videos! i love ya all everyone in support! gods bless! youtube! family and friends! my birthday is july 23! 26 keep on going tony! love ya!
ALWAYS be suspicious of advertisements and informative videos like this one.. especially when the emphasis on treatment is disproportionately on medications. There is so much DTC advertising in TV magazines and even on youtube; and there is hardly any useful info for people like us who suffer from disorders
These are all true it depends on the person, my 1st girl-friend had very subtle symptoms, out bursts and appetite etc...mood swingss, until she had a break down..if the person is not there for you emotionally its a real indicator they may be bi-polar...they seem selfish or spoiled, and always need your help than there's a problem. Many people act this way so its hard to know until they have a breakdown...
Many times someone with bipolar will be misdiagnosed with depression. They may suffer for years, becoming frustrated that even though they are trying to get help they aren't getting better. PTSD can have some of the same symptoms also. It can take years to get a correct diagnosis and get a treatment plan working smoothly.
not really point to what you are saying.!and it is nothing wrong to chat all the time but i think there is nothing more to say ,so let's skip to the next topic and you can try to destroy someone life as long as he let you ok?you have the right to hate anyone you want dellandall that's absolutely nothing wrong with trying to make someone dissapointed and bored by your behaviour.on the other hand you should check the dictionary to find out what is normal mean.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think to many people claim to have this to be manipulative and irresponsible. I have seen some people go to great trouble to convince a doctor of this while they try to get away with just being irresponsible and unaccountable for their actions.
Some dr.'s diagnose this illness too liberally, but it does indeed exist, as does schizoaffective disorder, depression, anxiety, and the many phobias out there. Just because you do not have symptoms of a disorder, that does not mean it does not exist. Please go out and get an education. You sound extremely ignorant.
i use to have symptoms alternating every week for yrs, but now it happens all in one day and every few days for the past 3 months. anyone else like this? what is going on i am scared and in denial that there is anything wrong.
You know, here I am only 4 days later and I feel great. I feel so good that I feel like I could be high. I am not even depressed anymore, no more bad thoughts of wishing I was dead. I feel like I am glowing now.
I have been on meds for years,i will not drink anything with caffeine or eat chocolate or other foods i know have caffeine and i eat raw veggies and take vitamins and st johns wort flax seed and Valerian root but nothing helps...
I have been off All Illegal drugs for 5 years but the meds aren't helping me.I'm on paxil 20 mg twice a day,Buspirone 15 mg twice a day Depakote 250 morn. 500 at night and klonopin 1mg twice a day.
@lamarridley2 i get tired too and i cant sleep. My doctor just gave me more meds to help me sleep, without depakote im a total crazy man. But with all the meds im like a dead man. I hate my life
The biggest piece of the puzzle is not the meds. I hate the meds and still am looking for the right ones but what I have found to be much more helpful is finding the patterns in my behavior that create and attract the upheaval that send so many overboard. Meds just control the reactions but dont even touch the problem itself. Us bipolars must seek healthy lifestyles to have hope and that can only include actively healthy relationships.
holy fuck. im not sure if im bipolar or not. but i just read your comment and kinda got scared. the littlest things that dont matter pretty much trigger my mood for days at a time. im trying to figure out if im just a whiney bitch with a temper, or something else. i hardly ever remember to eat until im starving, which is why im skinny as hell. i used to get only 3 hours of sleep a night, and im getting back into that process :( i feel like giving up sometimes and i have a horrible temper. idk..
If anxiety, temper tandrums, sleeplessness, and relentless feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt, shame are occuring on a daily basis, you need to make an appointment with a psychologist or psychiatrist to be evaluated. There are good medications to manage mood disorders; counselling, goals, life planning are important also. Mental problems are real and can be treated easily so you can lead a productive life of your choosing.
I want to add that I am not in the medical profession. I am a layperson who had all the symptoms many of you describe. I took action by seeking medical help, counselling and the right combination of medication. Just do it.
@Research0digo ya i do take my meds and my life is still like hell. But without them i would be dead by now. So my choice is take your pill and live in hell or stop and die. ***
there is no "cure" the meds work for some but if you stop taking them your worse off than before. so you end up on drugs (prescribed so its legal) but drugs none the less, the rest of your life. I wasnt abused as achild at all, no repressed feelings for sure, was adopted at 6 monthes and my family is awesome. still ive been a drug addict 30 years now. bipolar, nuts, hell I dont know but theres somethin wrong with me. I am a christian, god is here for and with me, but freewill is the evil here
I am bipolar and it is very important that people understand that it is a tangible issue that you can beat if you treat it properly. It took me a long time to get it diagnosed, however now I am on Epilim and have a health lifestyle and feel great. The key thing that makes you know you have bipolar is if you are doing things without control. There is a complete lack of empathy and a detatchment from your actions and feelings.

Wow... so many people claiming it's not a real thing. That's a shame. This isn't about needing to "find God" or "get off the drugs". It's a real mental condition with real consequences if left unchecked. Just because you were misdiagnosed with it doesn't mean NO ONE has it.

diabetes and related complications like hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, pancreatitis, coma, and death. Side effects can develop at any point during treatment.This is not to say that people do not get depressed, or that people can’t experience emotional or mental duress, but psychiatry has repackaged these emotions and behaviors as “disease” in order to sell drugs. This is a brilliant marketing campaign, but it is not science. - too many years I was a victim of psychiarty.

She found a note that I had wrote one night when I tried to kill myself. I told her I think I'm bipolar. But I don't just think, I know. She didn't say anything..

Perhaps the key insight of Jungian psychology is that mental illness is not a purely individual phenomenon, but a manifestation of larger imbalances in the culture and psyche of mankind. Schizophrenics are the scapegoats of a culture which clings to superficial certainties, refusing to confront the contradictions and questions bubbling up from it's own depths; they are the receptacles of all the psychical garbage which has been denied and has yet to be dealt with in the culture.

Yesterday I repeatedly stabbed my phone until it broke, a week ago I broke my chair , and 2 weeks ago I broke my music stand. In a week or two I'm getting a evaluation, hopefully I

In Germany systematic maltreatment of children is organized by the state and executed by snitchers.The psychiatric literature holds reports of jewish children having been persecuted likewise.Since WW2 psychiatry was misused by Germany to persecute the NAZI victims.Germany pretended to pay compensation to get the former victims into the hand of shrinks certifying them being mental cases due to persecution.Sometimes they even got some 100$compensation.Check out my subtitled films on Bernd Seiffert

On a good note, how can being "Bipolar" even be a bad problem when the terms that justify an "illness" are generally regulated by common people of a profoundly sick society? Ironically that dosen't justify a condition It's just another point of view.. polar view!. Ppl dealing with this at least experience a broader spectrum of human emotions everyday (even If forcibly) If anyone, they should be diagnosing society for failing to adjust to the bigger picture of being human not the other way around

BiPolar is an amazing gift, if you learn how to tame the beast and use your spiritual powers to the good. If you look back in history, to the myth of Hercules. The characteristics of Hercules would coincide to those that someone would now be classed as 'bi-polar'. So you are now classed as having some form of problem. In Ancient times, you would have been described as a god trapped inside a human body.

Also, I urge you to check your facts. For some time it has existed but, again, did not have name. When I was a child, I was a "bad child" because I would go from being all over the place to just wanting to sleep. I'm not the only one. Many people suffer. You CAN'T understand. You just can't.

No matter whether you believe its all a drugs company conspiracy for more profits, there is no way you can control mania without the aid of medication or other treatment. the reason is simple, when you're "up" you don't believe there is anything at all wrong, I always feel great - but I do stuff that causes me a great deal of anxiety afterwards. Learning to control your episodes takes years of understanding the triggers whilst under medication to help you control the worst excesses.

Bipolar is no joke, Delandale.
Many times someone with bipolar will be misdiagnosed with depression. They may suffer for years, becoming frustrated that even though they are trying to get help they aren't getting better. PTSD can have some of the same symptoms also. It can take years to get a correct diagnosis and get a treatment plan working smoothly.

not really point to what you are saying.!and it is nothing wrong to chat all the time but i think there is nothing more to say ,so let's skip to the next topic and you can try to destroy someone life as long as he let you ok?you have the right to hate anyone you want dellandall that's absolutely nothing wrong with trying to make someone dissapointed and bored by your behaviour.on the other hand you should check the dictionary to find out what is normal mean.

I think to many people claim to have this to be manipulative and irresponsible. I have seen some people go to great trouble to convince a doctor of this while they try to get away with just being irresponsible and unaccountable for their actions.

Some dr.'s diagnose this illness too liberally, but it does indeed exist, as does schizoaffective disorder, depression, anxiety, and the many phobias out there. Just because you do not have symptoms of a disorder, that does not mean it does not exist. Please go out and get an education. You sound extremely ignorant.

May be rapid cycling bipolar disorder! although moods changing in a day is not too normal for bipolar. I'd suggest you see someone.

You know, here I am only 4 days later and I feel great. I feel so good that I feel like I could be high. I am not even depressed anymore, no more bad thoughts of wishing I was dead. I feel like I am glowing now.

I go through the exact same thing. Try researching "mixed cycle". The main Bi Polar page on Wikipedia will have links for you.

I am off all meds now.. trying to get used to sleeping without help but i still have to take sleeping pills sometimes.

The biggest piece of the puzzle is not the meds. I hate the meds and still am looking for the right ones but what I have found to be much more helpful is finding the patterns in my behavior that create and attract the upheaval that send so many overboard. Meds just control the reactions but dont even touch the problem itself. Us bipolars must seek healthy lifestyles to have hope and that can only include actively healthy relationships.

holy fuck. im not sure if im bipolar or not. but i just read your comment and kinda got scared. the littlest things that dont matter pretty much trigger my mood for days at a time. im trying to figure out if im just a whiney bitch with a temper, or something else. i hardly ever remember to eat until im starving, which is why im skinny as hell. i used to get only 3 hours of sleep a night, and im getting back into that process :( i feel like giving up sometimes and i have a horrible temper. idk..

If anxiety, temper tandrums, sleeplessness, and relentless feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt, shame are occuring on a daily basis, you need to make an appointment with a psychologist or psychiatrist to be evaluated. There are good medications to manage mood disorders; counselling, goals, life planning are important also. Mental problems are real and can be treated easily so you can lead a productive life of your choosing.

I want to add that I am not in the medical profession. I am a layperson who had all the symptoms many of you describe. I took action by seeking medical help, counselling and the right combination of medication. Just do it.

When you have Bipolar you have 2 choices
1: Take pills and stay stable.
2: Do nothing; in other words, be screwed and live a horrible life.
I hate you Bi-Polar! I hope you can be cured one day...

@Research0digo ya i do take my meds and my life is still like hell. But without them i would be dead by now. So my choice is take your pill and live in hell or stop and die. ***

there is no "cure" the meds work for some but if you stop taking them your worse off than before. so you end up on drugs (prescribed so its legal) but drugs none the less, the rest of your life. I wasnt abused as achild at all, no repressed feelings for sure, was adopted at 6 monthes and my family is awesome. still ive been a drug addict 30 years now. bipolar, nuts, hell I dont know but theres somethin wrong with me. I am a christian, god is here for and with me, but freewill is the evil here
