Bi-polar Depression?!

Bi-polar Depression?

Are you Bi-polar? How do you handle it? Are you on meds? How does it affect your life?

i'm on meds and it makes everything clear. bipolar's lives tend to be highs and lows ^^^^^ going up and down, up and down.. where as when you're on medication, life is more like a straight line ------ ... medication helps a lot. i had a lot of problems before i was on medication. i was also delusional - i was paranoid, depressed, angry and also so happy i felt like i could be superman and do crazy things, such as drive fast. i also felt at times as though, i was worthless and felt like giving up on everyone and everything around me. everything also revolved around me. i couldn't keep a steady job, i was always blaming other people for my mistakes. i would confide in friends about myself and my problems and they just seemed to think i was selfish, but i wasn't. it's just how bipolar people are. i also over-analyzed so much to the point where i made things worse for myself due to the over-analyzing.. drugs and alcohol don't fit for a person who is bipolar. i can't drink and party because it causes an episode. on top of that, i'm on medication, so they are not a good mix. i don't know, though.. everyone is different, but that is what i went through...
