Does my sister have Bi-polar?!


Question: Does my sister have Bi-polar!?
My sister gets mad easily and now likes to put a lot of people on her blocked list!. When you're on her blocked list you try to call her and there's an automated thing that says "This person is not accepting calls from this number"!. My sister apologized to me a few months ago!. Then when I went to go visit for Thanksgiving, I tried to call her on my cell phone and my cell phone could no longer get through to her number!. She tells me that she just wants to be left alone sometimes even deleting her neighbor's phone number!. She's deleted our grandmother's phone number too!. She said she pushes delete and says "f*ck u, f*ck u, and f*ck u too"
Basically, she's admitted to saying "f*ck u" to me and my number along with lots of other people she decides to hate at the moment!. Yet she was nice to me at Thanksgiving inviting me to come visit her at her home!. My 3 year old son played with her 5 year old daughter!. They had a fun time!. I had a fun time!. But what am I supposed to make of her phone games and blocking me then taking me off her block list and then putting me back on her block list!? Am I supposed to put up with this and just let it go!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I have bi-polar disorder and this sounds absolutely nothing like it!.
Bi-polar is marked py periods of depression followed by periods of feeling extremely powerful, overly happy, like you know everything, as if you need no sleep, etc!. Most bi-polar patients call it being "high", but it isn't a pleasant "high"!. You're also grumpy, on edge and very easily annoyed!.
I would say your sister has something in the anger/rage mental disorder category and definitely needs help!. It certainly appears that her neurotransmitters are not communicating the right signals somewhere!.
Good luck, but don't be at all surprised if she rejects your help!.

No, bi-polar is much more complex than that, and much more severe!. Bi-polar is characterized by months or years of extreme depression followed by months or years of extreme high, causing harm to oneself or others!. It's a pretty severe and debilitating mental disorder!. It sounds like your sister is moody or even angry about something!. Talk to her about how you feel and see what is going on!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't sound like bi-polar, which is usually manifested by long bouts of mania then long bouts of depression!.

Sounds more like an anger disorder of some type!. Sounds to me that she needs to get some help to deal with her often irrational anger!.

Bipolar victims don't switch back and forth on a dime!. The bouts can last for months!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would definitly say that something is not right there however i dont think it will be bi-polar, people who are bi-polar go between extremes of emotions that are suicidal to being completely euphoric!. your sister seems really angry instead of being depressed it could simply be a cry out for helpWww@Answer-Health@Com

She's probably not bipolar, unless there are other symptoms, too!.

People with bipolar disorder experience uncontrollable bouts of anger, sadness and euphoria!. They are often seen as "eccentric" and can end up hurting themselves or others because of their mood swings!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i dont think shes bipolar!. she is just acting like a bratty child!.

tell her that you would prefer if she dint block her number and that if she wants youll just call once a week so you dont bother her!.

I agree completely with all 3 first posters!!!!!!!!!!! She needs help though!!!!!!!! Some people refuse it, including in my family and I can't have a relationship with what family I have!. You can't make them get help!.!.!.!.But I hope she realizes it and seeks out help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
