This lady has family around her, appears to be far more than financially secure, and has people to support her. If she was in my situation (I am completely isolated from all humans 99% of the time, with no income at all or any support whatsoever, in total financial ruin in every possible way, losing my home, etc.), she would be dead right now. I think about ways to kill myself every single moment of the day. I absolutely HATE life.

"thoughts about death"

very vague description of a symptom. every human have thoughts about death, but few humans sees death as a solution to their problem. big difference!

[MrAUFANATIC]

@sirlennon87 No I haven't been diagnosed but Im going to get it confirmed soon.. So you're having the same symptoms as me?

[MrAUFANATIC]

Im so bipolar. Im 20. I realized this like a couple of months ago. I could have a argument with someone. Then 5 minutes later. Im speaking to them. Or I could get ticked off real quick. And feel like im living a normal life 10 seconds later. Sometimes i get stressed and felt like committing suicide. 10 minutes later I would feel like I could never kill anybody. Sometimes when I lay down my mood changes than if I was sitting up or moving around. I hate this.

[gimee50k]

My mood is like a roller coaster, at school, I go from being happy and funny. when I see 1 thing that makes me cringe or get mad at i flip, I don't know if i have it but it's a possibility.

[ShaolinDynasty]

This is interesting...at first I thought that I had it. But that wasn't this case. It just turns out that I do get annoyed by things. Mood swings are normal in people. I'm a very happy person inside and outside...I'm doing a study on this and wish people suffering from it the best in their lives, and tough out the best way they can.

[tkathryyn]

Remember...when they are hypomanic, they think they are always right and will always find a way to beat you in an argument. If they lose, they will often go on an outburst. The best thing to do is not to engage in an argument even though they like to pick fights and will actually pursue you even when you try to avoid them(in my case). You must treat them as patients that need care. Educate yourself as much as you can about this chronic condition or you won't be able to cope..save yourself.

i rather wish death then bi pol on any one

[Trinder3467]

So what these doctors are saying that people with bipolar disorder have no right to feel sad, worried, unworthy, and paranoid? If you have an unstable life style wether it's a money or a family matter, how else should you feel? Whoever feels good after such problems - is a maniac. It's okay to feel bad when someone throws a brick at your head. It's okay cry when a loved one betrays you. You just need to take steps and better yourself as an individual. That's all there is to it. I'm done...

[daijaijaijaikeem]

[sugarpiexoxo1987]

i have bipolar disorder ):

i used 2 be on lithium and i hated it

it wasnt working 4 me, but my doctor has me on lamictal now and ive been on that 4 about 6 or 7 months now

but ive been going up on higher doses though until my doc finds the right level

the only side effect i think ive had with lamictal is that i space out sumtimes

[ionabreeze]

Reply To @sugarpiexoxo1987 - I have found that lamictal just makes my partner go exetremely high as it is onloy effective for the depressive phases of the illness and offers no protection against mania and hypomania. That is not its mode of action. I wouod be very wary of taking it on its own as a stabilizer as it is Not actually a true stabilizer ,despite having been heralded as one, and enjoyed by the Bipola community because of its extremely good effects on Depression.

[ionabreeze]

To @sugarpiexoxo1987 - 2nd part of reply.

But as you know in Bipolar sufferers hypomania and mania are often overlooked , and most people are just concerned abiut alleviating the depression. Be on the look out for this. Lamictal only treats the depressive side of the illness.

[sugarpiexoxo1987]

this is a nice vic =]. i got diagnosed with bipolar disorder..i see a counselour and she wanted me to see someone else 4 more help based on the symptoms ive told her. she said its a high chance i have bipolar

so i ended up seeing a psychologist and got diagnosed =[. ive pretty much experienced just about all the symptoms of bipolar..but im actually a lot more depressed. i get depressed very easy. when im in a high mood i feel so different..its like nothing is wrong in my life. its so weird =[

[Defyou15]

People who mock do so because they don't understand. Do you know what it's like to be so excited, almost as if everything you do is just perfection and then 20 minutes later feel like the most worthless thing, It's horrible and I don't wish it apon anyone.

[AirwolfMaster27]

@Defyou15 got it myself, i know all about it. 1 minute you feel good next minute your mood can drop like a rock and you feel like your nothing again, it sucks. with the depression part, you can wake up and feel like your the only person left in the world. you know, the loneliness

[MsDezzyzRayz]

@Defi 15 God Bless You. I hope your doing well as best that you can. I really feel bad for your situation and the way that you expressed it is very honest and sincere. Thank you for sharing. I have a friend in the same position and I feel for him but cannot seem to help him at all.

[dj02tc5]

@MsDezzyzRayz hey i have a Facebook group called "Kids with Bipolar" on Facebook please join it all of u who have a Facebook please join this even if u don't have bipolar or if u don't please do join it it don't matter because if u have someone u love who has bipolar please join this group for more info about the group please join may god bless u

[Shrunkenhead61]

@Defyou15 I might be. Like, for me, I get confident in the things I do and then I realize it's garbage and get sad. I always tell myself, "Never again." Discouraged is throughout my life.

I was on anti-depressant and I got fucking tired not manic. I need to talk to bi-polar patients and sort of understand. I've been listening to bi-polar cases and I can relate but I'm not as extreme and I have a little schizo-affective parts in there... like hallucinations and delusions before

[fuckcomments]

@Defyou15 Even the doctors don't believe me... I am truly hopeless

[xcalyba]

@Defyou15 I feel you, I have a girlfriend who refuses to understand what im going through or research it,I have a mother whos in denial I have any condition and that I just play up all the time. My friends just think im crazy and tend to now make jokes behind my back. They dont realize what a dark and lonely place I have to reside in most of the time. Wish you the best in your own battle.Peace

[SuperRomanticheart]

@xcalyba What you are saying happens a lot. Even when people know you have the illness they still criticize you for having it! It's ignorance and a gross lack of empathy. I really hope you can find more supportive people in your life.

[BennyBenedikt]

@Defyou15 this comment describes everything that i am.

[Sovember]

@Defyou15 Yes I do and I've adjusted to it.

[xKimberlyx666]

@Defyou15 Oh Sweety your wasting your time ive suffered for 23 years and it got so bad i was sent from Canada to Texas for treatment - you cant waste time explaining NOBODY will ever understand unless they live it - and Bi-Polar is the new ADHD EVERYBODY IS BEING WRONGFULLY DIAGNOSED with it ONly POSITIVE way to tell is By a Spinal Tap

[AsTheSunBurnsOut]

I have bipolar disorder, I have an extremely severe case of it, but the funny part is that when im sad, i get a mood swing and then im superrrrrr super happy (: so im almost never sad

[Katatawnic]

OK, got me there. I know what kinds of effects hormones can have on the body and mind, positive AND negative both. So you're one of the VERY few that could put up with me.... that should make you person number three! ;)

[Katatawnic]

Although some of the "symptoms" listed aren't always common for bipolar episodes (i.e., drug use isn't necessarily a symptom of mania nor vice versa, and having suicidal thoughts doesn't need to be present to be clinically depressed), I found this video to be extremely informative, especially in just over four minutes.

I have a friend who's been questioning whether or not he should seek help for bipolar. This is a video I'd share with him.

[TiradeFaction]

I always thought Bi polar was simply just mood swings...hmm. I are uninformative on some things.

[Katatawnic]

Well, you can't know *everything* now, can you? ;)

Take all the weirdness of me that you do know, and chalk most of it up to symptoms of bipolar. AND take into account that I've had almost eighteen years of treatment under my belt, having had the luck of finding a GREAT psychiatrist early on as well as a couple of equally great therapists.... if I didn't tell people I have bipolar, no one would think I have anything further than "hyperactivity" sometimes.

[TiradeFaction]

"Take all the weirdness of me that you do know, and chalk most of it up to symptoms of bipolar."

Weirdness is kick ass though ;). Yeah, you don't seem very moody to me, but as you said, you've had treatment for years eh?
