- Sorry for generating all that traffic. I should have just put a quote, (but I was lazy to google it).Manic EpisodeDSM IV Criteria...E) The symptoms are not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication...
- Hi, I keep reading here and at other posts how people 'discover' they're BP after they go manic on an antidepressant. This is NOT a sign of BP. Anyone may go manic on anti-depressants, and that's why that is specifically excluded from the DSM-IV...
- So somebody mentioned how this site evolved from a purely supportive group into one where arguments come up. I say that's a good thing. You know how we BPs tend to be OK around strangers, and then lash out on our closest? Well, don't you think...
- Who's seen "The Cabaret", the World War II movie with Liza Minelli? There she goes under a railroad bridge to scream. (the train noise covers her) Boy, do I need that sometimes! I think I'll just start posting screams here, and anyone who feels like...
- OK, I've never done this before, but right now I can recognize I am in a pissy mood today, and I will broadcast that to the world!! The world beware!! Yaaaaaaaaahhhh!! I'm a jungle king! (queen, actually).Hey, this felt great. I don't think I will...
- I've followed the "STUPID REMARKS" thread. I agree that there are better ways to be supportive. I feel that need to vent. Still, I couldn't help but think that most of those posts DID hold a grain of truth in them, and could be helpful, and some...

- So, I'm currently struggling due to a LOT of bad events in the last two years, can't stick it all to BP. And this is exceptional. Until recently, I was doing just fine. I'd like to hear from people who DO NOT have problems at work, with friends, and...
- It seems we had quite a bit of posts devoted to sex on the BP board. The whole community went hypo-manic. :))
- Hi guys, this is a poem I wrote at 2AM while I couldn't sleep for days, because I was too agitated generally, and also completely in love with a friend of mine, who is a) not my husband, and b) not a man, but a woman. (Not my normal behavior.) So I...
- Another thread that got me thinking...A couple of ideas, all true at various times:1) For me, it is impossible to get stuff done because my mind can't wrap around each individual step that needs to be done to accomplish this enormous task (of taking...
- To give you an example: I have a guy at work who just has no manners, yells at anyone anytime, no social skills. Nothing personal there. My friend was officemates with him in graduate school, and she thought he grew up with wild animals.Now, I can...
- OK, that is my question. I understand if you're suicidal, and they drug you up, it helps. Similar for mania. But that can't take weeks. Or can it? To me it seems the biggest benefit would be not having to worry about anything, nor care for anyone,...
- I have never been an active smoker, (just a social cigarette here and there at party, very rarely), but a HEAVY passive smoker. At one point, between all the people in my apartment, there were 120 cigarettes (yes, six packs) smoked a day, about half...
- Guys, I'm in the Depression Supporters and the Bipolar groups. In the "Depression" group, nothing ever happens, no posts, a journal entry here and there... In the Bipolar group, I can't keep up with all the posting etc. Cracks me up. :))
