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.
My doctor put me on welbutrin when I was depressed and it definitely worked. I haven't been depressed since I started taking it. Major yay! But we have to be cautious because we don't want me to go into mania. Well I could be hinting on hypomanic but it's nothing serious and it's not escalating.
BUT I am wondering about these sensations I'm having in my body. It's mainly in the wrists at moment. It feels like my veins are pumping too much blood or too fast or something... it's making me cringe constantly. Also, the scars that are on my wrists hurt too... like I can feel the shallow skin or something. I have felt this feeling before and we thought it was part of mania.
Back then it was worse. I felt it in my wrists, at my inner elbow, the veins in my neck... awful.... I was biting on my finger to distract from the pain and I left a harsh mark. This time it's not so serious, but it's definitely bothering me. Could it be excess energy in my body? Has anyone experienced this before?

so yeah, i think it might be signs you are heading that way. the question is, can you stand it? is it worse than being depressed? often we have to take the lesser of two evils.
