I may be bipolar...I've been told I'm possible bipolar....it does run in my family. I've suffered from Depression for years but I've noticed more of the what could be considered as "manic episodes."
I am trying to get in to see a psychiatrist who maybe specializes in this. I've been to several over the years and never found a good one who properly diagnosed me or took the time too. They just throw meds on me. Anyway, I'd like to know how you found out you were bipolar....how were u diagnosed, what's that process like? What were some of your signs that you were bipolar? I know everyone's different and there are different types and I'm learning about that, but I want to know from real people who have this what your episodes are like and what type bipolar you are. If u dont mind sharing your experience with me it would help give me an idea of if I may can relate to any of u. Just trying to learn and understand more on this so I'll have a better understanding of this.
Thanks for your help! Christal

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...
It took a while to find the right meds, at the right doses for me, though.
Also, I think taking care of all aspects of our health, diet, exercise, etc. are is more important and helpful for us than it is for "normal" people.
hooked on this new pills & my mom was in big denile that I am bi-polar so I did it to shut her up LOL.
He read my history and asked me an hours worth of qustion about everything( from my eralyest so called bp monment to that ponit in my life) I asked him befor I left when dose he think he'll know that I'm bi-polar .. he said your docter was right all along and i'll get you weekly group session with a p-doc. I kinda knew all along looking back when I was little you would tell if you looked..
