News of Mood Disorders

Hey,
Well, all my friends seem to be really concerned about me. No one believes me when I tell them that there's no need to worry about me because I'll be fine. They are telling me over and over that they are concerned because I'm so depressed and distant. One of my friends is literally begging me to go and talk with the school counselor because it's driving him nuts that I'm not they way ...

I've known my signficant other for 11 years since we were teenagers and is bipolar. As a person, he is kind, helpful, highly creative, intelligent, and loving. The disease part often alters who he is - into someone I don't know. It is a very difficult disease to have and to be around.. My love hasn't changed. Many people don't understand this disease. In the last year, we started living together. In the last three ...

Well, after finally coming to terms with the thought that i'm bipolar, I've finally decided that I may need help. Looking back, i supose I've been bipolar since my late teens (I'm 31 now), with dramatic swings the last 2 years or so. I'd say that my behavior the last couple of years would be classified as rapid cycle. With some cycles going from 'king of the world' high to thoughts of suicide in a ...

For anyone who has experienced an allergic reaction to Wellbutrin-
I had to discontinue Wellbutrin at 200 mg 2x day, shortly after I began it because of a severe allergic reaction. Wheezing, swelling of the mouth and tongue etc. I am being treated, but detox takes a while.
A less than pleasant occurance at the same time has been the increased sensitivity of my penis, as well as minor swelling and an apparent rash.
Also ...

I don't want to live. The only reason I am because I haven't got the guts yet. But lately I'm less and less scared of dieing.

For the most part my life is/was good. I have faked my way into a great job as a computer network engineer. I don't have the education or knowledge that is required but I have seemed to skate by for almost 10 years.

I have never in my life ...

I would appreciate any advice anyone out there could give me on how I can tell if someone I've just started dating (who is bipolar) is seriously interested in me or is just using me while he's on a manic binge. I was introduced to this guy by a family member and everyone seems to think very highly of him. Everything went fine for about a week or so and then he started displaying all ...

Hi everyone, I think my husband might have a form of bipolarism. He has terrible lows which last about one week, then he will explode with anger at me and accuse me of all kinds of invented things. When he has vented all his anger he will be wonderfully happy, even euphoric for a couple of days, then there will be a period of 'normal' mood before sinking again into what I can only describe ...

I think I might be deppressed but I'm terrified to tell anyone. Just posting this message was REALLY hard for me to do. My daugter's 2 1/2 months old. And I just don't seem to be enjoying her presence here. I would never do anything to hurt her. My boyfriend has so much fun with her, he just loves her to death, but I really can't say I feel the same way, and it's really ...
