Can I assume you have bipolar? or is it something else?

I don’t know how to control it, I feel ashamed of that. Emotions rise and fall but shouldn’t alter your state of mind for extended periods of time (or at least I feel that way).

Do not feel ashamed. Some people do not feel emotions at all, they feel almost 'flat'- you are in touch with something within yourself. Am I right guessing that you are very compassionate and empathetic? Many times people that feel things intensely are some of the most sensitive understanding people around. Do you have friends? I bet you would be a good friend to have.

Do you guys experience this? I’ve just been doing some thinking and self-reflection and this concept has come to my mind. Just curious if others here have similar feelings.

Since I have been medicated and compliant I havent had the swings that you described very often. But I still have episodes.[/SIZE][/FONT]
