For me, the past 3 weeks have been bad. I come here, read the posts, respond to some posts, and I feel a little better while being on here. Hang in there dude. That up swing is coming.

I'm not trying to be patronizing to you because of your age as I counsel adolescents. Remember you are also dealing with growth spurts and hormones complicating your bipolar. I hope you have a good pdoc that is well-versed in adolescent psychiatry. Stick around for a while, let us help see you through it.

The thing I'd do is not base my moods on other people's words, thoughts, feelings...
Enjoy who you are for all the glorious things you are about. Find your good points and dwell on those forever. :D
hugs,

I thought I was "better" a couple of years ago. I stopped going to Dr appts and stopped all meds. (besides I couldn't afford them any more). I just had a MAJOR breakdown and my dr put me back on meds. When your up...go out, have fun, be "normal", but when you need us, we're here. If you don't need us, you might feel good being there for those who where there for you. (I feel better when I feel like I make a difference.) Good luck no matter what you decide.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
