In your last post you said you felt like you were losing it!...\nAnd talked about lots of things that were happening in your life.\n\nThe last post sounded very "hyper" to be nice.. you seem to be getting very wound up over all this stuff that's happening.\n\nEven with B/P you know not to let people get you all upset like that......\n\nYou need to calm down..take some deep breaths and try to let this stuff go out of your mind..\n\nI have a boyfriend who is B/P and he gets all wound up too and can't settle down..Do you have anyone to talk to by phone??\n\nIf you have "Crisis Centres" were you are ...call one and talk to them.\n\nIf not, don't sit and dwell on all of this stuff, get busy doing something that takes your mind off it for a while.\n\nCall your Dr as soon as you can get a hold of him/her.\n\nplease take care..  and post another message if you have to.\ntake care

I have suffered bipolar for a long time and was on lithium and got well for a while but I got defiant and got sick again with the destructive highs and the desperate lows so stay on your med and talk to your doctor. If you are not happy seek another opinion until you find someone who works well with you and for you. I am now on Valpro and risperadol and I have been well for over 6 years and I have been working full time for two years now. There is something that helps me and that is writing. I keep a diary and write my thoughts and musing in it. Doing crosswords is a good thing to get your mind off your troubles. Good luck and if I can help further contact me at <firenzeperme@yahoo.com.au>\nIf you going through a low reading about your condition will not be a great help but bipolar.com have a downloadable diary that you keep to track your moods on a daily basis. Give it go and keep your chin up! You are not alone in this battle.

Your best bet is to speak to a psychoanalyst. Unlike like normal psychologist and doctors who use CBT which is what I use fro treatment with bipolar disorder. They are more concerned with resolving past issues in order to work back up. My experience with CBT  has been talking about the past but dealing with my present issues and not dealing a lot with what the source was from my past. however when i went to a psychoanalyst, she had me start from childhood and find the root of the problems it's causing me now. try looking on the National institute for Mental health's website for more information and also if you have insurance look on their website to find a Doctor that may offer this sort of therapy or call them directly

With the utmost respect, I want to let you know that it sounds important for you to see a professional. It need not be a medical "doctor." It could be a professional counselor or psychologist. These individuals are trained to make diagnoses, and it would be inappropriate for anyone to make such a diagnosis of bipolar or any other without enough information. Overall, it sounds as if you are going through a very difficult time. It concerns me greatly that you mention suicide attempts...please ask for help if you feel the need to hurt yourself or someone else. I urge you to seek a professional to answer your question in person...I think you will be glad you did. Find someone you can be comfortable talking to and enjoy the healing process.

I am a single mother of 3. Ex-husband dead. Problem child of 14 with bipolar. Tell me how you would solve all my troubles. I hate people who think they can fix e verything and have probably never been through anything serious in thier life. My husband abused me, my son continued in his footsteps and has been in the hospital since Jan(bipolar,ODD,ADHD)> Can you solve that??????????????????????????

With the up and down days(extreme) it really sounds like you are bipolar. I would address that issue before looking into other aspects of your personality. See a professional. If you don't know where to go consult your doctor, s/he may know a good one to go to. Good Luck.

Self mutilating is another issue. I'm sure you had to see a Dr. to determine that you are Bi-polar. PLEASE,PLEASE go and talk to the Dr. I had and I mean literally HAD a friend who was Bi-polar, and was also a cutter, and she did such a good job, that she is no longer here in this life. The only way to help yourself is to face it and get the help you need. Praying for you...

Medication is the only answer. Bipolar Disorder is a serious mental illness and untreated, it will only get worse and carries a 20-25% suicide risk.\n\nYou need to see a doctor if you have not already been diagnosed.

Gosh I feel bad for you...sounds like a hardcore case of depression.  It's so easy for other people to just tell you to seek therapy, isn't it?  I have lifelong bipolar disorder, so I know how it feels to have been down in the depths of depression...thankfully for me, I eventually snap out of it and go into "happy" mode.  In my experience, talking to a therapist has not helped.  They ask me a million questions, write them all down and make me feel like a science project, give me a prescription, and send me on my way -- all for $175 for a 30 minute appointment.  I have found that when there is a constant vague feeling of depression for seemingly no reason, it is because I have suppressed that reason.  Identify the sources of your unhappiness.  For me, I finally realized that it was about three different instances in my past that had changed my mindset or my innocence in some way -- made me jaded to the world.  I'm still working on it, but I'm hoping to confront and forgive or be forgiven by the people involved.  And yeah, I've had my heart broken and I still have feelings years later, so it's perfectly normal.  If you have self-esteem issues, work on something that you enjoy and that you are good at -- don't worry if you fail at first, practice makes perfect.  Help others or be a friend.  It's almost impossible to feel low about yourself if you know you are good at something or worth something to someone.  If your self-esteem is in the dumps because you are worried about what people think of you, then don't be.  Look at people who are stupid and unattractive and have confidence -- if they have it, then why shouldn't you?  Basically, you need to recognize meaning in your life.  It's already there, you just need to find it.  All right, enough Dr. Phil crap from me.  Good luck and bless you.

I too suffer from Bipolar disorder and I feel for you right now. I am in the USA and I don't know your rights but, it seems that you should be able to go to court and contest your x. I would call child protective service if I were you to find out if they can help you. You are making great progress. The doctors and social services have often explained bipolar to me as a disease like Diabetes. It is not something you can help, it is an illness. No body should keep your children away from you because, you are ill as long as you don't hurt the children. Good luck!

I believe you. Looks like your good side is fighting your bad side. Personally, I think it could be one of these: \n1. you could be bipolar-need medication\n2. you have been invaded by a spirit- need psychic help\n3. could be one of your past lives- need a hypnotist\n4. or you have had some sort of trauma and your really angry inside but on the outside you are a sweet person- need a psychiatrist.
