I'm scared

[PorcelainHeart]

I'm scared, I'm new to bi-polar and I'm scared because I'm starting to get really mean, I used to be very quite and sweet but now the older I get, I get violent and mean and attack people without thinking. I also cry alot and just want to hurt people. I don't know why I'm like this. I don't want to be bi-polar anymore.

you maybe feeling alot worse than you are actually being. we all struggle with anger or nerves. most people don't know we are ill unless they know us on a personal level, or you have phycotic episodes that harm property and people. at any rate, it is manageable. meds, and we learn with age actually... just like everyone else. ask docyor or counsellor for managing skills list. see our thread too

I get like that too when I'm manic, I think its more intense in your head than it is in others eyes, but welcome to the world of being bi-polar.

Dear Marmaladegirl22


After many years of dealing with mental illness with other folks and including myself I found the answer.


The answer to understanding mental illness is you must understand you will never understand!!



It's the actions that I'm referring to.



Now since you are a newbie to bipolar there are important things to do so that it can be gotten under control.


1. Do exactly what the doctor tells you to do.


2. Be patient as there is generally no quick fix.


3. Take each med exactly as directed. There is no way the doctor can adjust meds unless he knows where you are at.


4. Do not stop taking your meds because your doing better. You WILL always be bipolar.


5. If after you get up to dose and the med is not working contact the doctor and tell him to change your med to something else. Not all meds work with everyone. In fact sometimes it becomes a real game of trial and error.

6. Remember your the sick one and has to live with this. So don't be ashamed about bugging the doctor until things get better.

7. ALWAYS REMEMBER:




XEven though you can't see Him, GOD is there!O
( click on the X and move to the O ) ( then feel who is around you )

Dear Marmaladegirl,

Are you living in Japan or just a Japanese? After a period of healing (medical, psychological ,and spiritual), you will get much better. But I don’t know whether you can be cured completely. Bipolar usually is a companion for a long time, even all the life.

Bless, Yusuph
