I was diagnose with bipolar when I was 13 and am on limictal. I just started a few months ago and this is the first support group. I found a local support group and am excited to have other such as ur selves to speak feely and not being told, that I am a drama queen or that I just need to get over. The best one I heard there is, there is no such diseases and if I stop thinking about it, it will just go away.
My problem today r a couple things, I have cheated on all my boyfriend usally when I am feeling down or on a high, it is so hard, I just want to be special and I like the feeling of the danger, the most beautiful person it the word, and the excitement that it give me. In addition, I have a violent temper and I thought it was just me. I react and does not matter who ur. My boyfriend get so embarrassed when I tell people how I feel at that moment even at work, the damages me, I will go off at my business partner and sever most relationships when I need them to assist me on pricing and specifications. I feel they are screwing me over. I am like that with my friends; they think I have no filter. It’s my way or the high way. I am great at my job when I in my hyper mania ,I am aggressive, creative, I have so much energy and am great at presentation, or at least I think I am. But when I am having a bad moment they see a lost of confidence and motivation. Question, what should I do when these moments happen and has anyone else been through these issues or is it just me? |

Nope, not just you. In my case the anger and impulsivity go with my dysphoric manias. Cheated? Naw, flirted some, but its never gone so far.

I haven't cheated, but I sure have yelled a lot. I would get ingto my horrible mixed states and I would threaten divorce, tell my husband not to come back if went out...
My first marriage, I am sure was ruined by my bipolar. I was undiagnosed and out of control. It's better with meds, but I think therapy is really what is helping most of all. Do you have a therapist? It might help to talk it out. |

On this forum, it is ok to talk about anything but the guidelines require that if you are going to talk about something that we call a "trigger" you will need to use the trigger (X) icon at the beginning of the post. A trigger is anything that describes something which might remind the reader of an incident of a flashback, abuse, self-injury, addiction, psychosis, hallucination, or other psychologically damaging activity. The trigger icon is simply a courtesy to warn readers.
I noticed in your post that there seems an indication that you are attracted to the excitement you experience with mania. That is very common. It is also one of the reasons that bipolars sometimes quit taking or refuse to take medication. In the long run, this turns out to be a bad decision. I would encourage you to try to get your mania under control. It truly causes difficulty in living a peaceful and satisfying life.

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