Hi, I don't have bipolar disorder first of all. A few of my family members do though. And one other person that I know. What is it like to be bipolar, especially when you're not medicated? I don't know much about this issue aside from the fact that it causes a lot of mood swings that can go from high to low very quickly.
And I think that there are 5 different bipolar stages. Idk about that for sure. I heard that some people don't take meds on purpose because they love the high they get when they're high. Do people with this issue have a lot more energy when they're on a good high for lack of a better word?
What happens during the highs usually, and what happens during the low times? I can only relate to the depression, but nothing else. I know that I can look up this info, but I'd rather hear what it's like from other people. And I'd like it all explained to me quickly and easily as well I'll admit-
Last of all, how does it affect your relationships with other people? Does it bother them? Do you lash out at people that you're close to, or shut them out? I don't mean to offend anyone. I'm just going by what I heard, so correct me if I'm wrong about any of this!
