My sadness

Crybyby
Crybyby

I literally have no control of my anger or madness when my bipolar is at its low... And then I don't know what I'm saying and I ruin relationships and friendships and then after I don't remember what I said and I get confused and then I cry myself to sleep because I feel so bad but I couldn't help it

Yep, been there.
Mine happens more in hypo or manic. But, remember, it's part of bipolar. Sometimes you can't help it and friends that know you're a beeper need to also be educated on what is symptom and intended

Welcome to the forum CryB.

Another been there. Recently. Sucks like an industrial vacuum. Fear of the fact causes me to isolate way beyond what good emotional health allows.

Learning how to make amends helps me more than anything else I have tried. Even meds don't seem to have the power to curb this gnasty problem. I've been studying how to make amends for a long time, but . . . Still studying. . . It is a HUGE study, but when I can pull it off, it sure feels better than beating myself up for a condition that is beyond my control.

But that is me. . .

Again, welcome to the forum. Hope you find much support here while you find what works for you.

welcome to the forum. I see you are only 16 - are you on meds? Teens are tough for anyone, more so for bipolar. We've all been through it.

I am so sorry you are going through this. You are so bright and ahead of the game in life because you have insight. Like SuncloudJD said hang on. Maybe try and foster some activities that are about good health for yourself like excercise and eating healthy to create a good energy so that it might minimize your peaks and valleys. In any case, keeping good healthy habits and routines can really make you feel good about yourself because you'll be treating yourself well, and be self caring. Stay strong... Peace to you!

Sounds like your medication is not quite at the optimum level. You need to get with your Pdoc and explain to him these "Highs and Lows" that your experiencing and your actions during them. It sounds like your meds may need some tweaking to get to the therapeutic level they should be at.

Take care,

I keep my mouth shut. I know I'm not thinking clearly and there is sadness mixed in with anger and I don't know which end is up. So I keep quiet with my own thoughts,

    Life has been really hard this past year. I'm really feeling down and  alone.  I can't talk to my family about my depression and anxiety their not very understanding about it.  It's really hitting me since my mother passed a few months ago, plus stress from having to eventually move.  Also having my niece coming around who suffers bipolar and refuses to take medication for it.  Its been...
