What I thought is CDU is Bipolar

What I thought about Conduct Disorder Unspecified is Bipolar, throughout my childhood, I would behave in antisocial ways temporarily until I get depressed as Cyclothymic symptoms, at age 15, it turned into Bipolar Disorder.

I thought that I have Conduct Disorder Unspecified, but maybe it's a differential diagnosis.

My abusive sister-in-law

My sister-in-law is a she-devil. She uses female bullying to make my life misterable whenever I have the misfortune to see her with my brother. She listens to all my brother's phone conversations.

I said she treats ...

Re-introduce myself

Hello friends here in the Bipolar Forum,

How do occupational therapists collaborate with other mental

Hi, everyone, my name is Andrew, and I've been receiving mental health treatment for bipolar disorder from a psychologist and an occupational therapist.

How do I overcome seeing negative outcomes?

I posted a similar post just now to Anger Management, but I can't find it. So I'll try here.

My sister and I have had communication problems for decades. We say something seemingly harmless and the other person gets their feelings hurt so bad it's unbearable. I have cut myself off from my sister at least three times, for close to a year each time.

Now we have cheerfully agreed to go to group therapy ...

Trying to make sense of this illness

Its become clear now that i do have a moving illness and that i get bad with or without medications, the medications only makes it less bad.

Im selftaught musician 3 yeards back ...
