Hi everyone~
has anyone else experienced severe mourning over what BP has done to their lives? The deterioration of mental function? As someone who could be classified as a non-denominational evangelical - I am SO PISSED AT GOD! I've had my meds tweaked, but it's not getting much better. I've raged, cut, isolated.... I can't continue like this. If I didn't have my two children, I would end everything ...

Am just coming out of a depressive episode and feeling extremely restless dunno what to do with myself.

Hi... I don't condone the use of drugs or alcohol if you have a mental health issue, I do want to hear your thoughts about it, though. I am a university student and pretty well all my friends use, making it difficult for me to stay away. Anyone have similar problems?

Mainly weed and alcohol are my concerns. I don't want them messing with my meds or my mood.

For the first time ever I was referred to as being verbally abusive. OUCH!!!

Where is the line between an argument and Verbal Abuse?

I am 6'5" #330lbs, I sit back in my chair when we discuss or argue. I don't yell, I don't demean.....but I will not let an issue die that isn't dead or is uncomfortable for someone. When I am feeling used and neglected I will camp out on an issue and ...

I saw this posted:under the definition of bipola.In my opinion its a total JOKE!I didn't LEARN bipola at the age of 4!I've been biploa at least that far back.I know this because of the way my emotions ruled me way back then.I bet this person also think we came from apes.If we did tell me why the whole species didn't evolve?The people that think they have all the answers are usally the most foolish.

Is anyone using this drug? I was wondering how its working for you?I'm on depakote right now and I'm going to try to swich to Trileptal.The depakote is no longer working and I'm tiered ALL the time;No energy at all.The reviews I've read seem pretty impressive.I guess it helps alot with the depressive side of bipola,which I have.Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.I guess some people can have some lack of sleep,but for the most ...

Bipolar II and taking Abilify. My doctor knows they make me tired but all mood stabilizers and anti-psychotics do. I tried Seroquel but it was making me fall asleep in the middle of the day and I definitely can't afford to gain weight either. In July I'm going on a month-long 280 miles trek across Iceland and I can't afford to be this tired. I also don't really have time to adjust to new meds. ...

I have no diagnosis.

I'm in the middle of a rage attack. I think I'm under control, then I lash out. I won't give too many details because it will probably trigger people.

I've got no faith in the medical profession. I'm probably just going to run away, run out of money and starve to death or end up in prison or something like that.

Whenever I post on this site I seem to kill ...

I'm wondering if anyone else has ever thought their BP could be something else or many other things over the years that can also be explained by taking another perspective? I'm not saying it's not distressing, I'm acutely aware that it is, but that the behaviors are explained in various other disciplines and with slightly different definitions, connotations, and treatments.I'm trying not to bias any answers so it's vague, but hope it makes sense, thanks.

I keep going back and forth. One minute I feel it's all my fault the people in my life are distancing themselves from me every time I hit a depressive cycle. The next I'm wondering if the depressive cycle isn't kicked off by people distancing themselves from me the second I'm not ######6 happy and charming and willing to help them all the time.

Last boyfriend allowed me to pay for everything no problem on ...
