I've been having a strange wave of emotions lately. I was recently diagnosed as Bipolar II, and I'm part appeased, since it's good to finally know just why I'm so crazy at times, and part nonplussed, because I feel like now there's actually proof that I'm crazy and not just my own poor opinions of myself. It's actually official now.
I don't like to talk about myself much publically, but I figured this was the safest place I have to complain and make a fuss about this.
I guess that's that. I might just need a hug. sad

I think that all of us have psychological issues of some sort. It typically seems that everyone that I know will sabotage their own life in one way or another at some point. It's a truth that seems to apply to modern society. Humanity kills itself through overjudging itself, and genetic psychological issues are becomming more common...
The infection is spreading...
*hugs Jo*

Hear! Hear! There is no one on the planet that can be perfectly psychologically sound, and even if there were, they would be the anomaly. We all have our manic-depression, neuroses, phobias, insecurities, obsessions, and just because yours happen to match one of the many umbrella terms on a given day doesn't mean a thing, Jo. Give me proof that any of us clinging to life on this tiny chunk of rock are sane to begin with, then we'll talk. wink Hugs? You got'em! *glomp* whee

This isn't something that can be healed. It's not something that can be dealt with. It's a progressive, debilitating disorder. It's going to get worse the longer I'm alive.
confused
Everyone has issues. Not everyone has this issue. Not everyone deals with this issue in the way in which I'm dealing with this issue. How is making light of it supposed to help?
EDIT: Sorry. I'll get over it. Forget I said anything. Thanks for the hugs.

There are medications to manage progressive outbursts. I have friends that are on meds for their Bi-polar disorder. Alot of my friends are apt to believe that I myself suffer from it aswell, that, or menopause... but how can an 18 year old boy go through menopause sweatdrop

Montigo Dominic There are medications to manage progressive outbursts. I have friends that are on meds for their Bi-polar disorder. Alot of my friends are apt to believe that I myself suffer from it aswell, that, or menopause... but how can an 18 year old boy go through menopause sweatdrop Of course, medication isn't the answer for everyone. I used to take meds for my depression due to a belief in my "chemical imbalance," but who's to say that was true, anyway? I think people are over-medicated a lot these days. It's the age we live in, where if something's "wrong with you" people throw pills at you. There's a pill that can fix that. Medication is the right answer for some, just saying it's not the only answer that exists. As for your menopause... uh... good luck with that, dude. sweatdrop

I think I should apologize as well, JoVo. Never would I intend for it to sound like you should simply just get over it, that it's curable, or try to trivialize your recently discovered bipolarity. I see now how it can be interpreted that way, and that is my fault for never making sure that my full intent is understood. Me and my cynicism-laced pseudo-optimism.
The gist of it is, we care about you, and the last thing I would ever want is to let my careless, big mouth get away with making things worse.

Deep down inside, I know you were trying to make me feel better. My emotions have just been really bad, and I've been really down lately. Every comment tends to lead me to the conclusion that any given person hates me. People who don't answer their phones make me think that they're avoiding me and really just never want to talk to me again. It kinda sucks when I get this way, but I guess this is all part of my fun, fun, degenerative psychological disorder.
At least now we all know why I'm such an a** on occasion.

I've typed a million different things here, but none of it turns out okay. It all comes across as annoyingly optomistic (which in turn seems very insincere) or overly sarcastic and mean.
Being diagnosed doesn't really change much. I mean, now there's just a name to what you are, right?
Besides, weren't you the one that told me it was okay and not that bad. I love you anyway. Yeah, I kind of remember you saying that. No take backs, lamer. Don't go all weak sister hypocritical on me. You'd better have meant it.

I kept thinking to myself, "If Jack posted here, I'd feel better."
I was right. And so are you. Thank you for reminding me of that. smile

You got lucky, I just got my computer up and running again. I'm reinstalling everything (because my roommate is quite possibly the worst person to have carry your computer tower in from the car) as I type.

xd missyouloveyouwillcallyouwhenigetaphoneI can't really say anything the bipolar that you haven't heard me say already. It sucks, it doesn't go away. You either accept it and move on (which is easy on good days) or you get all broody and mope around about (which is easy all the time). I always have to remind myself that when it gets bad, it's really not that bad. Then I force someone to talk to me until I honestly believe it's not that bad. Usually, it's you, Vague, Jen, Tinsley, or Ryan.
