hey ive been diagnosed with this personality disorder. Thought it'd be nice to have a place to talk about it with fellow sufferers. we can share our experiences with drugs which can be slightly different from the norm.
A friend of mine does... i dont quite understand it myself, could you explain it unless you dont want to ofcorse.
baby fire fly bi polar is a disorder where you reach incredible highs and extreme lows. Theres a 20-25% suicide rate of those who have it. You can get rapid thoughts and periods of euphoria (without drugs) and then become manically depressed. Its uncureable. Many of the great creative minds in history have sufferd from bi polar. It certainly is a unique way to live. If you want to learn more check out this book "An Unquiet Mind" by Kay Redfield Jamison
Yes I am bipolar, and Thank You , as I just finished a huge rand and am agitated and realized that it is time for my Lithium #2 of the day. Having Bipolar is not no sunday picinic in the park, only your young and in the 12 years ago at your age they have alotof new treatment options and a better understanding of the disorder and alot of former 'Paranoid Schizophrenics' are now seen as bipolar. As with any chronic illness, early detectiona and proper diagnosis are the best for living at a maintained comfort of life as possible. The meds help and learn as you go and lifestyle changes and a BIG help is having Caring and Support of those who you love around you. Sorry to hear you have the disorder and only time will adjust to the newness of it all. Wishing you the best on your learning experince that someday will become just subconcious understandings-- Peace and Blessings--RX
I am bi-polar. I've dealt with it since my birth. Been in and out of therapy my whole life. I don't know if this has anything to do with the subject, but I do find that a lot of people with bi-polar self-medicate themselves with drugs. In my mental health program the hardest drug they fuck around with is crack/cocaine. I find alcohol to be good with emotional security for me.
hey i actually just went to the doctor yesterday because i've had horrible mood swings for awhile and she said that i had bipolar symptoms. so i suppose i am too. she prescribed me with cymbalta to level out my moods. is anybody else on this medication? i'm just glad i finally decided to get help. i kept denying that i had a problem and kept hurting those who are closest to me. i just had to admit that, yes, perhaps something was wrong with me...
and yes baby firefly, it is a chemical imbalance in the brain that sometimes has to be corrected with meds.
Wow, it's nice to come back and visit somewhere I had forgotten I had ever been, it al party all night long inside my mind in my head and the laughter ehoes while the party rocks inside my head. No one invited anyone really just some sort of intercranial festival in the mind tonight. Starts then stops then up again. Anyone else having a party goin on in the mind all alone in the room? Peace to the people. Scream it loud and scream it clear. Party in the Head. ~RX~
I'm bipolar, and i smoke weed and drink. I dont drink alot though, because i do notice there is an affect on my medications and moods. Smoking doesnt change anything though. It helps relax me when i am manic.
