I AM BIPOLAR

about year ago i found out
i notice that i was having episodes
at one point i was happy
then i think of my life and i would want to kill myself

i take Depocot & Lexapro to help with it
its kinda feels like having two minds and both are confusing you


Bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) is a disease; it is a medical condition that causes psychological problems to such a degree that daily functioning is hampered by the symptoms. The most prominent symptoms include extremes of mood known as depression and mania. These emotional extremes are usually beyond normal responses to events and often last for extended periods of time. Psychosis and suicide are also concerns for those diagnosed with this disorder.

Just take it one day at a time like the rest of us.

I feel whenever I'm about to *go to my bad place* be it a manic one or depressed one I try to stop it before it begins by thinking of good things and how much I love my friends and family and how my being bad would hurt them.

I don't take meds by my own choice so for me it's slightly harder to control them but you adapt to it hun, don't worry you just have to ajust and learn how to read your own moods.
