For all the Bipolars out there?!
Question: For all the Bipolars out there!?
Do you have days when one day you could be low then the next day you could be high and then somedays you can be both!? I had a day yesterday where the morning I was low and then I went very high to the point a lot of things made me giddy!. Today I feel neither but I just feel 'annoyed'!. I work full-time and I function very well!. I'm also getting days where one day I think I'm really good looking and then the next I think I'm the ugliest person and whom I am fooling!? I'm not at all ugly!. Ughhh! I've was diagnosed Bipolar when I was 17 and I'm now 30!. I seem to suffer with depression more than being high!. Does anyone else ever feel like this!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I dont suffer with this but I know what you are going through and I sympathise as a very close friend of mine had this, she suffered for years and as she got older it became worse, she comitted suicide at 46!. All I can say is I hope you are getting support and treatment for it because it should not be under estimated, it is a very bad illness!. Good luck to you and I hope you can get better xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have Bipolar II (so I'm on the depressive side but still have frequent mood swings between depression and mania)!. I can tell you that I have plenty of days like the ones you're describing!. Sounds like you're like me in terms of mood patterns!.
I can also tell you that my mood swings tend to be when I have a lot on my mind, or when I'm under a lot of stress!. However, they can also be at completely random times!.
I have been diagnosed with anxiety and a little ADD as well!. I got diagnosed with ADD, depression, and anxiety when I was nine, and the diagnosis of bipolar followed within the next couple of years after that!. I have been on medications and have had frequent med changed since I was nine as well!. They definitely help, but finding the right ones can be a nightmare!.
Overall I'm pretty stable though!. I go to school, have a boyfriend, do volunteer work, and just got a job at a restaurant near my house!. But I definitely have my days!.
I'm a lot younger than you (I'm 16) but if you want to talk you can email me through my profile!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
