I'm about to be 15 in a couple of weeks, and I was diagnosed with bipolar this past summer. However, I'm remaining on 20 mg of Prozac (for panic disorder) until I'm 18 or when they find it acceptable to put me on more medication. My parents seemed to have accepted this because it's the doctor's word, but I'm not convinced.

My manic episodes are constant. I'm always talking, laughing, etc, and I can't stop. Some people in my class think I'm crazy or annoying because of it, but they don't seem to understand that I can't stop. If I could, I would put all of my thoughts on hold and stop being so restless and excited. I'm not enjoying myself like they think; in fact, most of the time, I'm in pain from trying to stop. I've also found myself to be a slut, too; I had sex with a boy I had just met on the Internet the day before, and I cheated with my ex on his girlfriend. I know it is wrong, but I can't stop that itch inside of me. I think of sex almost constantly, and I know it's not acceptable to be so obsessed with it. I know I'm sick, but nobody will give me the proper medication. What can I do to get what I need to be better?

By the way, my hyperactivity has been the same since I was 6. My promiscuity started when I was 12, I think. I have had several depressive episodes, only two of them being major. The rest just happen to be that 2 or 3 day rest between manic episodes.
