- I just want to say thanks to all those who listened, cared and offered support when I was having a 2 month long manic episode. I appreciate all of you - and I want to let you all know, I'm doing better now. And I am so glad to be able to say that. I...
- I've had some things happen lately that have me on the edge of tumbling into a depression. My meds are holding me up pretty well but it feels like touch and go. I just need some support so I'm reaching out to you guys... I really hope I don't get...
- I know I'm in trouble. I've been doing some really crazy things, having sex with strangers lately. This hypersexuality is part of a manic phase I guess, except that I don't feel manic in any other way. And it wouldn't be a problem if I didn't act on...
- I know I'm in trouble. I've been doing some really crazy things, having sex with strangers lately. I'm BiPolar and sometimes I experience hypersexuality as part of a manic phase. Which wouldn't be a problem if I didn't act on it. But I had a great...
- I thought I was doing fine on Wellbutrin and Geodon. For the past few months I seemed to be on an even keel. When I first started on Wellbutrin it made me very manic, compared to the Zoloft I'd been on which had me depressed. I didn't think the...
- Today is my birthday, 50 years old, half a century. Feels kinda heavy knowing I've lived that long - sure never thought this would happen. It's like I can no longer deny I really am old. Guess I'm gonna have to get used to it. Life sure goes by fast.
- I have noticed that I don't handle disappointment well at all. It is probably one of the toughest emotions for me to deal with. I become deeply affected to the point of being despondent and can let it ruin an entire evening.I am now consciously...
- I would never say I am Bipolar. When I had cancer I never said I am Cancer. Bipolar is an illness I have - it's not what I am. This may be a small thing to some - but the difference matters to me.
- I've done some crazy and horrible things while manic. How do I regain the trust of those I have hurt when I don't even trust myself?
- I tried to think of the main reasons I am lonely, to see if there is anything I could do about it.My main three reasons areI'm an introvertI have social anxietyI have no interest in joining groupsSo I guess I could try medication for the social...
- When you're dating someone, how do you tell them you have BP? Is it easier to hide it for as long as possible? I say hide it for as long as possible. After all, things might not work out anyway. But somehow that seems like the bummer way to go, Yet...
- Most of the big or obvious trigger/topics here don't affect me at all. But then there are the posts that would seem so benign to most - and they make me feel sick and upset. Certain songs (lots actually). certain foods, even tv shows can all trigger...
- How many people with BP are ashamed of it? Do you try not to "let others find out"? Or are you open about having an illness? I'm not ashamed of the illness I have, I am not at fault for having it. And if others do not understand it - it is only...
- This board seems to have really slowed down lately. Makes me wonder why. I think this could be a place where lonely people meet and talk. But it doesn't seem to be working that way. Are all the lonely people just not sharing? I know there are a lot...
- Somebody told me not to mix Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen. Said they interact badly. This can't be true I thought, they are two harmless painkillers. Virtually the same. This was told to me because I like to take one of each instead of two of the same...
