I think I'm Bipolar or Manic or something.

I didn't used to think so. I took a few of those online tests for Bipolar and Manic Depression but came up short of enough symptoms every time.
Out of about 30 symptoms, I had maybe three.
I never had the highs that were described so often throughout the tests.
So, lately, I've been rather stir crazy.
When I'm not on here calmly typing ridiculous nonsense, I'm listening to music and doing chores.
I've been listening to my Shakira CDs a lot lately while I do dishes or laundry, etc. I start dancing through the kitchen and acting a fool.
I prance through the house doing ridiculous Saturday Night Live type dance moves just to be a cheeser.
Tonight, I felt so bored while doing chores, that I literally felt like running and jumping off a cliff just for the thrill of it.
It's like I become Beavis sometimes when no one is looking.
You know, it could be the amount of coffee I'm taking in.
Hell, maybe I'm just crazy.

 

Manic Depressive involves several factors and three out of thirty symptoms (though I am sure they could add more if they so desired) is hardly close to a diagnosis. See, there is a fine line between manic and Bi Polar, and often psychiatrists themselves overlook the differences. Then again, I was merely a student and have no degree to be diagnosing anyone.

It sounds to me as though you are just... fun!

 

it was...fun...

 

Yeah, but I just feel like something takes over me and I become this great big idiot sometimes. I don't drink or use drugs, but damnit if I don't find myself becoming bored quickly and start moving around.
Can't be attention deficit. LOL. I don't do this stuff in public, so maybe I'm just going through a boring time.
I'm usually fine when I'm on this board, chatty, but calm.
When it's time for the chores, the monkey comes out.

 

I think you are too, but I think most people are.

 

In all honestly, I think that most syndromes/disorders cannot be diagnosed or defined by merely a handful of symptoms. I believe that most people carry certain personality traits, characteristics and qualities that can led them to believe that they may possess some type of illness. Who is to state what is of the norm or not?

Maybe your boredom is driving you to do things that seem unusual to you. My boredom often causes similar issues. Granted, I can be serious when required, however, I generally like to take life with a grain of salt and throw fun into whatever I possibly can.

What is life without fun?

You should see me with a cd player and chores..

 

Yeah I agree, bipolar isn't sooo bad. If I wasn't bipolar a lot of things I wrote in the past would not have been written.

And yeah, I think some things cannot be diagnosed and some things are over diagnosed, how do you feel? Ya know.

 

A few doctors determined that what I actually have is OCD.
That's why I kept taking tests for Bipolar, because I wanted to be positive they were correct about the diagnosis.
And the beauty part is, that's what OCD does. It causes you to check behind your doctors a million times to be sure they are right.
I don't wash my hands a million times a day, or keep walking through the same doorway until I get it right. I don't have a fear of germs much.
My OCD is centered more around organizing items to achieve neatness or perfection. I won't go as far as to organize other people's stuff like that, but my own stuff has to be neat.
I obsess about my hair and my makeup and my fingernails.
If I see one tiny little speck of polish that has chipped off, I have to go right away and remove the polish and repaint that nail.
I can't stand to feel the slightest sign of hair regrowth on my legs, which leads to me shaving every single day to stay behind it.
The Zoloft helps, but I still pick myself apart in the mirror with things I think are wrong with my appearance.
If it's there, I will find it and obess on it for a little while.
OCD is the one mental illness that people are aware they have, aware of its symptoms and what it does, but still cannot control it.
Seriously, you will know you have it and know your ideas of yourself are ridiculous, but your brain believes it. Sad, really.

 

I think all mental problems are just a cry for attention. nothing more.

 

I wish that were true.
If I could dig deep enough and suddenly discover that my brain creates this junk just to get attention, I'd get relief from my symptoms once and for all.
It's something I am unable to control, for whatever reason.
I wish I could uncover something like that though.
I'm sure there are better people than me who can control it.
I just don't have that kind of power. I wish like hell I did, though.

 

You are.
