Well, then it would be wise to seek psychatric help, and group counseling.

Did you go read the signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder at www.mentalhealth.com ? They have a comprehensive section on it there. I would STRONGLY suggest going over there to understand what it's all about and what the signs and symptoms are. The forum is no substitute for expert knowledge, believe me.

Reps: 26,771 (power: 43) | | | One thing I can share from my own experience.. Bipolar Disorder can be devastating and even deadly (it almost was for me). I implore you then. If you have a suspicion that you are, and that link I provided even affirms it, please don't hesitate to go see a qualified psychiatrist and have them make an accurate diagnosis. The sooner you get on the right path and get treatment, the better it will be for you and yours.
Don't delay.

Reps: 23 (power: 0) | | | Off the top of my head, I do not know a great deal about this disorder, but I do know of many people with it. What people tell me if that medication works best for this and you will feel so much better if you take medication. If you're wondering if you have it, go talk to your doctor and he will be able to help you figure out if you do indeed have this. Goodluck.
Love, Briana |
