But I dont want to hav to contain or control it through drugs and medication, I even get very paranoid as to what they actually put in sum of these drugs we get given, particular substances that maybe help 1 thing, but may hav unknown side effects that cause or affect sumthin else. I just wish there was a way I cud train myself to rid this Mental Illness for good, but I guess it isnt as simple as that is it.

Am I bipolar? When people call me, tell me something to do or the worst harass me. I have the worst anger outbreak, my roommate hides knives from me because she's scared that one day I might stab her.

@LavenderScented Simple. A bipolar person will struggle with these symptoms most of their lives...daily...whereas a person who is not bipolar will ask the very question you just asked. Think about what you wrote...now imagine living every day experiencing the symptoms that most people only experience from time to time during personal hardships. That is the difference. Bipolar people are kinda "stuck" having those feelings, those symptoms, on a permanent basis. It drains you.

@SvenjaGirlie1996 You got the diagnosis after your best friends died at the age of 12. Out of curiosity: Did you ever get to grief with someone? That might help to the extent that you actually dont need medications anylonger. You might, and the doctors might have underestimated the power of human contact.

the problem is that everyone experiences these symptoms from time to time especially during personal hardships. so how do you tell if a person is bi polar or just normal and having a bad day?

@TheSwicker316 ooooh I see you're just trolling, you should get a life though, seriousely, that's just sad :)

@enragedmilk Suicide is not that hard to accomplish and you failed twice? How pathetic can you get. Grow up stop taking those mind-altering pills and take responsibility for your behaviour.

[enragedmilk]

@TheSwicker316 I attempted suicide twice you idiot, don't tell me to grow up I'm obviousely more grown up than you!

@kansasisaband dude sounds like you're in denial to me. But you probably work in hospice and have to deal with death and dying everyday for the past 3/5 years for a damn good reason. You're a kind soul who has been "called" to work with the dying of the world. To help them transition to the next plane is a divine calling. Congratulations. And yes, I have a similar resume and also don't understand why medication is the only solution to the "problems" that people have. Check my channel. Tap it.

strange video. I think it describes 95% of the population in the USA. Bipolar is the new "in" thing. You ain't hip if you aren't bipolar. LOL. I have mood swings, I get sad and emotional and think about death and dying almost every day of my life the last 3 1/2 years. I've made some money and gone on a shopping spree (iPad, vacation to Sedona). You probably have a similar resume. Heck, this is normal shit for me. What's strange? Trying to "box" it up and treat it as a problem. It's life. Live it
