bipolar can manafest itself like that. mixed symptoms are common. You need a profession to properly diagnose you. Sometimes it takes a while of seeing a therapist and a pyscdr. to get the right diagnosis. If it is bipolar only getting on the right meds will help. Bipolar is difficult because it has so many sides. And there is meds out there that won't cause weight gain or other problems, but you and your Pdoc has to try different meds till you find the right one. And it can be frustrating. I have been diagnosed with bipolar for almost 8 to 10 years, my bipo was more depression than hypomanic, but hypomanic is getting worse over the years. Hypo isn't bad when you have a big house to clean. Ha Ha. Good luck, my prayers are with you.

Hey ((((((Sinabee))))
Happy Birthday by the way. Yeah I am Bi Polar II and get a lot more depressions than hypo manias, but I am medicated so it is managed quite effectively. You need to get professional advice and a diagnosis and if you are they will medicate you accordingly and things will be more manageable for you. Good luck and get help, keep us posted Paddy

When I was 1st told I was Bipolar back in 1997 I was sceptical. After taking Ritalin with Prozac I'd had a very minor episode talking until I lost my voice, obsessively cleaning house all night... I had always had such strong depression so WTH?. I took BP meds (forget what), but had a Major ep. March of 1999. My episode are sexual in nature and I did a lot of crazy things including cheating on my husband. I was convinced after that! But meds have kept me under control since then.
However, my depression has gotten steadily worse and if it wasn't for that major horrible ep. I'd think I wasn't BP at all! I wish there was more info out there for ppl like us. It seems like info/lit. is all about mania. What about those of us that are depressed and rarely manic??? |

I think i have had very few bipolar episodes and many many more depressive times.I mean,daily depression almost I have the irritability and the severe mood swings associated with bipolar tho.When i was first dx i too had the sexual in nature episodes (cheating,meeting random guys for sex.....crap like that.....) it was an AWFUL time in my life.....i look back and i still cant believe the things i did. I too am still medicated for the bipolar,questioning my dx daily almost as i swallow down the pills ("do i really need these???") But going back to that behavior isnt anything i want to do obviously so i take them.I thought i read somewhere that bipolar meds can enhance depression.Have you ever heard that??? I need to do research on that and really look into it cuz honestly this depression is starting to unwind me,and wear me down.I am sick of crying and sick of thinking bad things.Anyways,i didnt mean to go into all that so deeply but like i said it was just very familar reading your post.Thanks for writing,its nice to know that i am not alone

Wow it's great to have someone else know exactly what you're going through. I don't have many friends and the ones I do I could never talk to about this stuff. I d/k anyone who has any Mental health issues except for family and I can't talk to them! None of them have anything as bad as me anyway.
I didn't know about BP meds making depression worse, but thanks I will be discussing that w/my pdoc on Mon.! I'm sick of it, too. Every year I hope this will be the one where I won't be sitting one MORE bday party thinking s**t nothing's really changed. When will I have a "normal" life??? Don't ever worrying about expressing yourself (at least w/me) and thanks for the friend request friended you back! Last edited by dreamsofflight; Jul 29, 2009 at 04:31 PM. Reason: added a sentence |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
