Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I am 18 years old and I have felt for the past few years like I am struggling with undiagnosed bipolar disorder. I have mentioned this to my mom but she refuses to hear it.
It feels as though I am always looking for some kind of high or some kind of change. I have been to three different colleges and had 6 different majors in a year and a half. I graduated a year early from high school. I change my mind constantly. More than most people. Whats different about this is that I dont do it because its needed, I just get bored or maybe im just having one "down" day and its almost like im running away so I try to rearrange my life.
Also I have a horrible tendency to say things I dont mean and take out my frustations on the one I love and I know this is bad but I just cannot control my thoughts no matter how hard I try. The list could go on and on of reasons why I think I have bipolar disorder..
ex: extremely high sex drive..jealousy..mood swings..
I hide it very well by pretending to be happy..working and spending time with friends but I am feeling more and more trapped with this.
Can anyone who has this disorder tell me of their experience or give me some advice.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
one of the biggest concerns is the FEAR.
I mean i am TERRIFIED of EVERYTHING.
darkness, being alone, driving, not being able to hear people, elctricity, fires. its so bad that I cannot sleep at night because I am scared someone will come in my apartment or a fire will start or the elctricity could go out and i'll be stuck in the dark. not only that but I have CHILDLIKE fears..like monsters..dont laugh its serious.
