Hi- this is the fourth short term disability that I've had to take in the past 3 years. On top of it, I've changed jobs 3 times, and used every bit of vacation and sick time (as well as a ton of excuses; aunt died, kid sick, dad in hospital, etc).

I was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder almost 3 years ago, I've been dealing with it for about 5. They started me off on lithium, didn't work, moved to depakote, didn't work, started on abilify about a year and a half ago, and it worked fine.

Hi, I'm a 19 year old guy. I posted this on another forum also, so I'm just copy-pasting. It's a very long post but please take the time to read it.

I grew up in a somewhat violent household, watching my parents fight often. My father is an extremely selfish and ABUSIVE man who always sought his own interests. He would physically and verbally abuse my mother often. Since I was a kid, I've always ...

Hi Everyone,
I am 28 years old was diagnosed at 16 with bipolar more recently in 05 with borderline personality disorder amongst a few other things. I have a great deal of trouble expressing my emotions and when I do they are completely eratic and explosive so I don't handle confrontational situations well or stress. I also feel this overwhelming need to hide my problems so noone knows the real me and I'm tired of ...

I am diagnosed with ADHD with Bipolar II. I like to know if you think I am bipolar.

Most times I feel normal. I have had major and milder depressive episodes since I was eighteen. Usually the depression starts early spring and lingers until summer. I have been suicidal on three of these episodes and have attempted suicide once.

When I was put on Zoloft and celexa, I became hypomanic. My symptoms included not needing ...

Hello,
I have been recently been diagonosed with Bi-Polar disorder. I have started meds and consoling. I read some other posts about letting family and friends know about what you are going through for support and I don't understand how that works. Can anyone tell me what kind of support you get from others? I feel alone now and I worry telling people will just make me feel like a freak.
