If this has only been happening for a few weeks, I wouldn't say you're bipolar.

 

When you're down, can you still get out of bed in the morning?

 

We all experience fluxuations in our moods but it doesn't necessairily mean mental illness is involved...

 

Here's a decent site on bipolar disorder: Bipolar Disorder Today

 

*edit. Here's another. It may be a little easier to read...

This happens to me every day. I've been on meds in the past like prozac and such, but I hate the idea of being on medication like I'm some sort of fuck up head case. Lately my ex girlfriend has been putting me through so much shit I think about suicide on almost a daily basis. I get the feeling alot that the whole world is closed in on me and I can't escape it. I want to just walk forever, but there's nowhere to go. I feel completely trapped alot.

She broke up with me after 9 months, and then two months later said she missed me and wanted me back blah blah blah. A few weeks later she says that she missed me then and had to tell me, but now I pissed her off. She doesn't know what the fuck she wants. I just talked to her and she told me I'm the only stress in her life cause I always ruin her good moods. She's tired of me being depressed all the time or some shit. whatever. I feel like such a fucking sap because she dumped me, yet I'm still calling her trying to talk to her and shit. I hate girls. Love sucks.

Actually I've seen this first hand and you're wrong, it can just *snap* and you're suddenly on a roller coaster. And getting out of bed is not an issue most days for bi-polar folks, you're thinking of depression (though it can get you low - often depression is a side effect because you're unstable or on heavy meds and people will distance themselves from you and than you'll blame yourself). Additionally bi-polar isn't like a virus where it has defined regimented features, it can have a wide variety of symptoms. The person I know has bi-polar with schitzo tendencies so that when they have episodes of severe mood shifts, hallucinations are common place but they go away when the moods are in check. Needless to say go see a specialist...

yeah. I know I'm be thinking like this too. I just can't fucking understand how after all we went through she could just throw it all away. I loved more more than anything else. She said she loved me but it didn't last. I don't get that. Why the fuck do I care about somebody who doesn't give two shits about me? I wish I could just find another chick and forget about my ex, but I don't know how to do that. And it kills me because I know that's exactly what she's doing. I'm just fucking sick and tired of everything. Even if I go out and get drunk with people I end up feeling like shit. Every time i give my trust to a girl they walk all over me. Girls are fucking evil.

I thought I had this before because my moods fluctuate very fucking easily and all the time. Then I decided instead of worrying about it to just keep going and stop being a pussy worrying about emotions and shit.

 

I know for a fact my boy has this shit though. He came out yesterday and was like "I been doing percs behind your back every night before I come out." "I cant deal with life right now." He will be fine then the next day be all weird. It happens every winter.

MEDIC!

 

"Hard work to help you maintain, and get you through the heart aches and pain...."

 

And alcohol is a depressant, it doesn't help if you are depressed.

 

I have a kind of escapist personality. Though I try not to let it be through drugs and alcohol. Art and hard work. O and video games damit.

*ugh*

 

Will Devilush please come and explain the wommenz for us?

...being bi-polar is something really serious...if you really think something might be wrong you should seek out some help...if you don't have the money try a medical college, they usually offer free or really cheap treatment and counselings...

...if this is something that just started though, you might just be going through depression...change some of your behavioral patterns, like eating, drinking, exercise, social life, etc....this might make a big difference...

 

...i had a good friend that was bi-polar...one day he'd be all about hanging out and doing things, then we wouldn't hear from him for days on end...he abused drugs, and was on constant meds...his problem was heavily influenced by the fact that he was gay and his family had a hard time dealing with it...things got bad and he wound up taking his own life...this is of course worst case scenario of what can happen, but realize that if you do have a serious problem you can't just ignore it...

 

...i've had a lot of experience in dealing with bi-polar people...friends and relationships...it's hard on them and it's hard on you...

Yes, I too have seen this first hand. You're right. People can just snap and be on a roller coaster.

The thing I was getting at is that being bi-polar (or manic depressive) by definition also carries with it periods of depression with or without medication. The comment about whether or not he could get out of bed in the morning was just a reference point for the level of depression. Most people with manic depression who commit suicide tend to be those who have stopped taking the medication.

The important thing to consider is how intense these fluxuations in behavior are. Sure they can be gradual or they can "snap" and mood swings may last from hours to weeks or months, however by saying

i've been wondering lately if i am bipolar becuase the past few weeks ive cried one day then im happy as all .im not depressed about anything...

doesn't necessairily mean bipolar and sounds pretty mild from the way he described it. I have seen mania and it is MUCH more than just being happy. (For a good example, watch the move Mr. Jones with Richard Gere in it.)

If he wants to see a specialist, sure, go for it. The best thing would probably be just to talk to someone though. Call the local crisis center, that's what they're there for (to listen), and it's FREE. They can't diagnose you but they can listen and they can also give references to mental health professionals if you're still having doubts. It's helpful to be informed if you're unsure. That's why I posted those links. They were the first few things I found while searching.

 

 

and re: Gucci Condom, KING BLING is right, that sounds like Seasonal Affective Disorder. That might be something to see a counsellor about. Or, if money is an issue, tell your boy to get some exercise, catch some sunlight whenever he can, eat healthy and take vitamins... (That's what works for me every winter...)

Yeah I tried to talk him into getting some help but he won't. He seems a lot happier after we talk and I explain that all the shit he worries about is retarded and that he needs to just chill.

 

Hes cool when hes outside but I think when hes at home he thinks about shit, so I told him whenever he has free time to write songs or play shit on his guitar. I noticed when your keeping busy it really does help you feel better. Lately I been keeping busy with school and writing/recording shit and all kinds of things and I think this is the happiest I have been in a few years.

 

edit: because I say shit so much it sounds fucking silly.
