I was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder when I was 18 years old, ignored it for over 13 years by only concentrating on my depression, now I feel lost and alone.
I'm exhausted of the ups and downs, the mood swings, the self doubt, the inability to control my emotions in high stress situations, the paranoia, and the regimented way of life I need to have in order to function at a "normal" level.
I'm just searching to see if there is anyone in a2k that can share their story?
I guess I'm just trying to feel connected.
Im bipolar, and it is very frustrating. I was the same way at a very young age I can remember. My emotions and moods are a daily rollercoaster on all their own, so I understand where your coming from. Its hard for most to understand me and my moods change like a light switch or Im overly paranoid or overwhelmed, crying spells, depression, and then theres the highs,,,manic behavior, yelling, 'episodes'; Also being around alot of people or alot of noise drives me bananas! I also have no patience whatsoever and get frustrated in environments I cant control so to speak. All day Im on a mood rollercoaster that I cant control and am angry most of the time. This has caused me to have a rough life and my mind is very scattered and always going 100 miles an hour. Im 30 and Ive only been put on medication recently and not sure if it is working yet, because Im still so moody. I feel like so many people in one body.
@germy,
I'm 35& been diagnosed for about ten years. I went through the "i don't need meds" period, the break down period where my psych tried about dozen different drugs on me &i often suffered from ask kind of side thefts. I'm still in the "i know I'm bipolar but are these current meds really working?" What the hell is normal? whats that supposed to feel like & am I close to it? Well I ever achieve it?
@tj2mow,
Wow. I can really relate to your explanation of your mood shifts! It's so crazy
