Is there any way to cure me being bipolar?!

Dont know about a "cure", but there are ways of controlling it, either with the help of medication, or helping yourself with it. Go to a doctor and talk about it, they should recomenned something. There are basically 2 different "levels" or so say "stages". It depends what you are I guess.
But all in all all talk to your doctor about it. Good luck!

First let me assume that you have been to a psychiatrist and actually been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder because you wouldn't self diagnose... would you? Self diagnosis is never right so really you wouldn't do that... OK, so assuming that you have been to a psychiatrist then you would know that there is NO cure for Bipolar. The hallucinations and delusions and manic episodes can only be managed with very heavy duty drugs called anti psychotics. But id can be managed. If left untreated most peopel end up hospitalized for either mania or depression..... on the other hand maybe you are just a botch and need to exert more control over your moods. Consider the fact that Bipolar has nothing to do with angry nasty mood swings... consider the fact that people with Bipolar have long periods of depression and periods of mania thet last for a minimum of a week but up to years long... consider the fact that the average person with Bipolar only cycles 2 or 3 times a year..... And my guess would be that you don't really have Bipolar... you just think you know what it is and want to label yourself. Quit it.

Were you diagnosed by a psychiatrist? Can you go back to him/her and talk to them about it? Tell them you want to overcome it as much as possible. As was said above, there really isn't a cure, but it IS manageable with effort on your part and medication. I have relatives with it and they say that 1/2 the battle is fought with meds and the other 1/2 is fought by thinking through moods and situations to get your balance. Counseling would help. Best wishes.

There is no cure at present, but there are a number of treatments. A previous answer follows: Take the quiz, at http://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/publ… if unsure, and if the results are positive, ensure you get an expert diagnosis from a mental health professional, not doctors, who are much better dealing with physical ailments, and don't diagnose complex disorders like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder often enough to develop any real expertise. Bipolar disorder usually involves major mood swings, which occur without apparent cause, and often over many months, or a matter of years, rather than days, as with most people (unless rapid cycling). If you decide to use allopathy, (modern Western medicine) I recommend trying Lithium Carbonate, or Lithium Citrate (regular tests are necessary, for these) before trying the other mood stabilisers, but if you aren't good at taking medications regularly, drinking adequate water, and keeping up your salt intake, something else, such as Lamictal may suit you better. Check out "lithium" at http://www.drugs.com & http://crazymeds.us/ and always research medications first, (read, and keep the labels/information sheets) so you will be aware of the risks, and on the lookout for side effects. There are different types, and degrees of bipolar disorder. If I wasn't bipolar type 1, and wasn't overly troubled by hallucinations, or serious delusional states, I know I'd first try the orthomolecular, and Omega 3 fish oil supplements, vitamins, minerals; herbal remedies, and a mostly raw food diet, for around 6 months, to see if they were sufficient.

Even if not, they can be maintained, as complementary treatments, which may enable a reduction in the medication(s) ultimately required, with their risks, and side effects. Check out http://www.nutritional-healing.com.au/co… Note: St. John's wort has been known to trigger mania, or hypomania, as have antidepressants, and the two should never be combined, due to the risk of serotonin syndrome. I'd aso eat in accordance with my "nutritional type". Enter that term in the searchbar at http://www.mercola.com (book), or a 20 question quiz is via http://www.naturalhealthcoach.com/tools If not considerably improved, after several months, consult your primary mental health care provider; you may be one of those who need medications to prevent this progressive illness from getting even worse. If bipolar type 1, an antipsychotic medication may also be needed. Everyone should take the Omega 3 supplements, or preferably "krill oil" for its other health benefits: use the searchbar at Mercola.com . Some people refuse medication, using supplements, and a selective, mostly raw food diet (I do not recommended trying this, if bipolar 1, unless you aren't overly troubled by hallucinations, or delusional states, and have a mind disciplined enough to recognise them, and act sensibly). Don't use medications and supplements together, without medical advice, except for Omega 3, which is safe.

Maintaining the treatments for the depressive phase (if not using, or using minimal mood stabilisers) may well reduce the impact of the depressive phase, when it recurs.
