I am new to this
Good evening. I just signed up on this site, so I am kinda new to this. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder about five months ago. I am currently seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist to help me along with this disorder. One of the things that has me stumped (and maybe this is just me, I dunno) is I have thoughts on just suddenly lashing out and like going postal & shit. My doctors say this is normal, but this does not feel normal by any means. Does bypolar disorder really have a dark creapy side, besides just the tendancy to all of a sudden freak out? Please help.'


What do you all think I should do?

You are not alone in these feelings / thoughts but typically I have associated this with anxiety; an overall fear of doing something uncontrolled. I have just begun taking Clonazepam and have found almost immediate relief without the associated fatigue that other benzo's may cause.

I hope you feel better soon. Cheers.

Well he was either TROLLING the boards..or he is a newbie with lacking social skills.
Put him on IGNORE...until you see him on the boards ,and can see his identity/personality shapeing up.

But it is CREEPY to get messages like that.

My doctor attributes bizarre behaviors may they be the whole range from suicide to murder and all in between to part of bipolar behavior called poor impulse control. I have had impulses to attack people and sexual impulses and impulses to self harm. What has helped me is medications and therapy. The impulses still come frequently but now I have the control not to act on them, for the most part.

There are (sadly) people who TROLL sites like this..they pick up on avatars ,or profile info,that sparks an intrest....I don't know why he picked you..are your journals open for everybody to read?

My journals are open...and I've gotten some really weird messages.

But I keep my journals open,because maybe they will help someone.That outweights the creeps who slide in.

I really don't see any creepy behavior here and if we are too thin skinned to help others that are battling real bipolar issues then maybe we shouldn't have information on ourselves that others might relate to and think we can possibly understand and be here for them to reach out to in a time when they are thinking they are "CREEPY". LETS ALL TRY AND HELP EACH OTHER AND BE UNDERSTANDING AND KIND NOT JUDGEMENTAL AND CALLING SOMEONE CREEPY.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
