Does it sound like im bipolar?
Ive had a really crazy year. It all started when i was 12. I was in my room listening to eminems song "stan". There was this one line where he talks about hurting himself. That literally put me in to a depression episode for 7 months. This past febuary/march i got alot better, but i noticed my mind was racing 24/7 and i was really hyper beyond control. I thought i had adhd. Then during the end of this june i was at a party, and i notice some girl who i had just met had scars on her wrist. I asked her about it, and i talked to her and said that if she ever needed to talk to someone about it, i had gotten rid of my depression. That same night, this was all i could think about. The next morning i woke up in another depression episode. And it has been getting REALLY bad. And i have thoughts of hurting myself, even though i REALLY dont want to, bc i want to live. So i told my parents about this, and i started feeling better and more hyper again. Within the past 3 weeks, i almost always have at least 1 extreme mood swing every day. It gets so bad where i just have to sleep through it, bc im so scared. Im only 13 btw. Do you think i am bipolar?
Does this sound like bipolar disorder or something else?
Just this past week my doctor diagnosed me with bipolar disorder. He told me to start seeing a psychiatrist. I do have mood swings. Usually lasting a few days or a week or two at most. Sometimes it changes in the matter of hours. Sometimes I feel energetic, talkative, outgoing and really happy. Other times I feel depressed, drained and completely close myself off to others. But it's not just mood swings. My personality completely changes as well. I feel like two different people. My likes, my feelings toward things, my goals, values, are all constantly changing. It's even effected my gender identity. I feel like I have another personality altogether at times. I honestly don't know who I am. With the depressed episodes I'm also paranoid of every little thing I deem as being dangerous and have lots of anxiety. During the "ups" I feel more normal, I just have problems with sleeping (I usually sleep maybe three to six hours at the most when I have these episodes) and trying to contain my energy but I don't engage in reckless behavior or anything like that. I also have issues with hating myself and I'm rather afraid of those close to me will abandon me. I feel like everyone secretly hates me. I've also had issues with seeing shadows out of the corner of my eyes and sometimes feeling like bugs are crawling on me or that I'm being touched by someone. But that only happens when I'm extremely stressed out. I'd really like to hear from other people who have had experience with this.
I change my mind a lot.. am i bipolar?
Whether what school I want to transfer to.. or what I want to do with my career or life... whether I want to marry or stay single.... adopt.. or have biological kids.. I'm always changing my mind.. one day I want to have a house.. the next day I want to live in a condo in manhattan.. i'm always changing my mind and I could never make up my mind about things... but what is crazy is that sometimes i'm determined to do these things.. and then a change of plan on what I want to do ruins it.. and then sometimes I return back to my old goals and work hard to achieve that... then start questioning is that what i want to do. Is it possible that I'm bipolar? and if not then what is wrong with me? How can I make up my mind on something and just allow that to be my only goal so that I can achieve it?
Do I Sounds Bipolar To You? Help!?
I have been experinceing weird, messed up mood changes for the past year or so.. and sometimes it scares me. but lately they have been REALLY bad. Yesterday i was crazy hyper, like out of control and i couldn't help it all day, i was in such a good mood it was unbelievable. But today, i had no desire to do anything, in a irrtable mood all day. n i was walking home for lunch, n about half way down the street i became very angry for no reason at all and started running home crying.. the feeling just overcame me and i had no control over it. it was soo sudden it was scarry. and i can't think sometimes cause my thoughts just jumble together, and mix around, and i get a headache exspeically when im trying to concentrate on school work. but other times im fine and thoughts are just comming to me like crazy but i am able to oranize them. it's kind of liek having 2 competing brains. and somedays i' over confident like i think im the most attractive person ever, but then the next day i could sit there and cry at my reflection. some times i can sleep alll day long, and other i can't sleep at all no matter how hard i try.
Would you date a girl who is bipolar?
If you want this to be the way it is for as long as you are together, then date her. It will be a rollercoaster ride that is NOT fun. You will have a lot of guilt feelings because you will want out of the relationship, but she will make it more difficult for you to leave the longer you are with her and yet you'll want out more than ever. It's a lose-lose situation. She's already pulling on your guilt-strings. RUN like hell!! ***P.S. : Don't stick around for her to see whether or not she'll take her medications. That is a huge problem with the bipolar disorder; they don't get the high feelings, so they forego the medications and then it's back to the usual. Don't you want a normal relationship? Run!
Are there more unsuccessful bipolar people?
Do not sell yourself short you can do whatever you put your mind too having bipolar is not a crippling disease, I would think with bi-polar you would wat to take your mind away from depression why not look into working with other people with bi-polar like becaoming a teacher for disabled children. Your sky is the limit do what you believe in not what other believe you can do. Keep me posted if ya ever need to talk here is my email kellb732002@yahoo.com i am a really good listener.
Krizz Kaliko's song "bipolar" sounds just like another popular (older) song.?
The Billy Joel was pretty close... but, no... the song i'm thinking of was sung by a woman... i'm not sure if the original singer was female, but it was a love song... for some reason i just can't get past the idea that the song was in either one of the 2 movies mentioned above... maybe it wasn't on the soundtrack, but in the trailer for the movie?
