Mahia M I was not diagnosed for bipolar disorder immediately because I am also Hypoglycemic. Therefore, some of the symptoms were let off as just whether I had had enough to eat or not. rolleyes And i must admit; eating right helps a lot of the time.

Phoenixispink h3rsh3y Asru My name is Sam. Alas, I was never labeled as 'bipolar'. Infact, I don't have it. As far as anyone is concerened, including doctors, I have nothing wrong with me. Nothing medically. My whole goal for being here is to learn. I would love to become a therapist or anything related to that subject. I doubt anyone will read that...but whatever. Thanks! ~ heart ~ I read it. And that's awesome. One of the mods here is working on her psych major right now. (:
She's one of the foremost psychologists in this country when it comes to Bipolar, and she herself is manic-depressive. She wrote a book about her experience called An Unquiet Mind. I have to admit after reading it made me doubt I had bipolar for a long time just because my manic symptoms were nothing like hers. sweatdrop

I think it helps to talk to someone who knows what you've been through, instead of some condecending jerk. Also, many psychologists have disfunctional backgrounds, and problems.

Konichiwa. Im Raven and Im 17. Im not really anything in high school since I don't have enough to be a senoir, but yet I have more credits than a junior. I was diagonosed with clincal depression back in late sixth grade (I was 12 then) and then it developed into serve depression when I was 14. Next thing I know, my thearpist person makes take a very long test. I was diagonosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 15. I already lost three friends already due to my stupid mood swings and my temper. I was on meds for a while, but I wanted to stop. My dad thinks the bipolar went away and my mom doesn't even know I have it and I live with my mom so it's hard to deal with it. My mom thinks all of my depression/suicidal problems ended in middle school. Please excuse my mood at the moment. I've been stuck in a low for quite a while now.

My name is Elsa. Ever since a friend commited suicide in ninth grade, I went through some depression. I've also been labled with bipolar, suicidal, and lots of anxiety, ADHD, tons of crap. I'm going into my junior year now, and thanks to some therapy and medicene, I'm finally staring to get over it. Its strange, even before my friend died... I was different. My first memory was when I laying in my bed in darkness feeling there, yet not there... derealization or something. Anyways, there is so much more I want to learn about bipolar and stuff, and this seems like the place. So.. yea... thats my life story.

Hi...call me Momo. I'm 14 now, I started taking a lot of meds when I was 6 years old, not knowing why I had to take meds or get bloodtests. I found out 4 years later that part of my meds were for allergies, but the other med was Prozac and Celexa,sort of mood stabilizer anti-depressant thingies. I've lived with this for 4 years, my parents never came out and told me I had a problem, I figured it out myself, and I don't want to tell them I know. They make me go to therapy and I don't know why. I feel like lately my personality has split in two, and I feel like I have an identity crisis, among other things, since I still don't know if I'm bipolar, or have some other emotional thingy. I am very moody, and don't have too many friends, but I knew since I was little that I was different...I hope coming here will help me make some friends and find my identity to some extent.

KrazedPsyco666 I'm Brandon I'm 16, live in Paradise Valley, Ab, Canada, I wuz diagnosed bipolar less than a year ago and am flying solo for about 4 months, but i'm getting craZy again... twisted I love this guild, i get a lot of advice, alot from reading H3RSH3Y's posts Hey guys, my name is still Brandon, i'm 18 now, yay. anyways, it is strange reading my own post, it was sad and undescript. I live in Lloydminster Ab/Sk still in Canada. I just quit a job that i had for five years at a hog farm, and started a career as a Sandwich Artist... Yay for me, one s**t job to a sub maker. I was diagnosed bipolar, Phuksifino how many years ago, i didn't keep track. I have been off meds since a couple months after i was diagnosed, and am getting along ok. My mom kicked me out in August when i was 16 and i have been on my own ever since, which could explain why i'm broke. bipolar kid living alone didn't work so well for me. I am happy with my life, i love my girl, even though we aren't officially going out yet. Life is easier when u spend it on the manic side, but it makes me hard to be around, and I get depressed, when i feel like people don't like me, when i like them. its hard, but its my own fault. I just like to be accepted

Hello, I go be Ne, or my gaian name. I hate my name irl too much.
I've have just recently been diagnoised with Bipolar Disorder NOS.
I'm currently in the process of going to psychatric center to be tested for ADD, and Skitzophrenia, and to find out what kind of bipolar I have.
I have grown up with mentally ill family, and freinds.
I have been facsinated with it, mostly bipolar and skitzophrenia for a while now. The people I have met who have them are always so intersting, and I get along with them better than other people, so I've been on hunt for some new friends who understand me better. I know my friends try, but you can't turly understand everything unless you've been there. I just found this guild and I'm so glad I did.
I'm currently on Risperdal, my second try at medication, and it doens't work, and keeps me up all night and makes me feel horrible.
Lets see, I'm 15, failing my 10th grade year in highschool, due to my instabillity. They just put me on some education plan for people with mental issues, and it isn't helping at all, half the teachers have no clue!!! Hmm, what else?
I love music, and I'm very artistic.
I live in Astoria, Oregon.
I know so much about mental ilness already *owns dsmv* that I'm probley going to be giving advice instead getting it.

I'm bit188. I am thirteen years old, newly diagnosed bipolar one with psychosis.
I hate to admit it, but I like being manic. My mom keeps me on meds, though, so it doesn't happen often.
Then there's the mixed episodes. The voices are horrible. When you can't think straight (racing thoughts) plus voices, it's really confusing, and I get suicidal.
Otherwise, I enjoy mathematics, physics, computer science, manga/anime, sci-fi/fantasy, music (indie rock!), and drawing.
It's nice to meet you all. I hope we can get to know each other well whee

hi. I just joined. I've been diagnosed with schizo affective for five years. I only take Zyprexa Zydis twice a day. I was taking it three times a day. the meds are good at keeping the voices away. I haven't heard voices for a year. I just got out of a Richard Young Mental Hospital. I was in the acute unit for two months, then the subacute for six monthes. It's my longest hospital stay to date. I've be in an assisted living facility for about three and a half months now, but I'm moving out soon and I'm going to vocational rehab. I'm on Medicaid and SSI.

hiiii. biggrin
im madeline (aka baracuda boy)
since birth i have been getting introductions to the wonderful world of confusion (aka bipolar).
at the age of 5 up until 13 i had so many pills tossed at me i lost count at over 45 prescriptions in the past years,eventually i took myself off them and evened out all by myself by puberty.
hmm, what else. im dreamy and depressed most of the time, in a comfortable sort of way, i have a strong fear of a long list of things such as heater vents, spiders and under the bed. they handicap my ability to live life normally at their height of fear, but i get by.
im currently attending highschool after spending my whole junior high experience in a "special school" as they called it for kids with emotion problems. i have freinds, i dont feel happy with mylife.
i smoke to much.
i dont date enough.
thats it..
wow, half that stuff i've never even told people.
congradulations internet, your my soulmate.

You have the right to know. your parents don't seem to know the saying "knowledge is power" and its very true when it comes to BP or any other illness for that matter. Throw a fit if you have to. It worked for me.

Nyaapy! I'm Altymai (Or Miku, Inu, Nyaapy, or Kei depending my mood). I was diagnosed with bipolar about two weeks ago. I have dubbed the voice that arises the most, Kaei. Hes actually a good influence, unless I take my meds (Risperdal, which doesnt work correctly in my opinion), then hes like, evil. I've also been diagnosed with selective memory or something like that. I love Japan-related music/TV/clothing, drawing, making clothes, and manic episodes.
I hope I CAN MAKE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE!
