I can relate to you guys but it would be nice to hear a sum up of how relationships with parents, friends, teachers, bosses, coworkers and day to day life is for you guys as well as your "aha" moments were when you look back and see that was a total bipolar moment. It would maybe help me feel more confident about this whole bipolar idea the pdoc has as well as my own inclinations. Thanks guys

Hm my relationship with my mother/father is rocky. I tend to isolate and take anger out on them a lot. But mostly isolate for weeks. My teachers are very supportive and understanding. I am a EMT student, but I was lucky enough to have a lead instructor that is also a social worker. My relationship with coworers and bosses are okay, but it depends on my mood. If I am manic I get along better, if I am depressed I don't want to be bothered and get bored with the idea of entertaining them. The most "bipolar" relationship I have is with my T. I dump on him all day long. He see's the change in my moods more than anyone.

Um day to day life? I am pretty stable in the morning. Thats when I am in the most productive and least impulsive. I am hypomanic in the afternoon. I become most impulsive. Then by 5 pm I become depressed and hopeless. I rapid cycle a lot. Hope that helps some.
Thanks for this!

Hmmm.... tricky one!

When I was a school I was an average student. I had my favourite teachers and I would stick like glue to them. No-one knew I was different when I was at home.

Home life.... Always hard for me. My folks and I would argue like mad. My Dad and I didn't have the greatest relationship. He would threaten and actually did throw me out the house. I get on better with both of them now. My Twin Sister and I are really different as we do not share the love "twins share" we do not have "twin powers". My Sister and I can live without seeing each other as when we do see each other we tend to niggle at each other. We are better mind you now we are older. We do have the odd moments where we say the same things etc but we are not living in each other's pockets. My Brother, I can go weeks without talking to him. He is 4 years older than me. We have never been close but I know he would be there if I needed him. We use to fight like cat and dog. I idolised him when I was growing up and he hated it. My family life was up and down. A lot of tension in my household.

Friends..... growing up I had loads of friends. I was reknown for being the "quiet" one. The one who could keep secrets. Once I left school at 18 years old, I don't really have friends. I have a small group of 4 "close" friends and then there are a handful of "acquantiences" who I see from time to time. I haven't had a decent, proper girly friend since I was 16 years old.

Work Colleagues..... I had loads of "friends" there a nice big group of us would hang out whenever we could. But then I soon realised they were not my friends when I became ill and had to take time out from working

Bosses..... Have always gotten along with every manager until my last manager who was a complete b@@@@. She didn't like me cause of the time I had off. Then she made me a key worker for a service user but wouldn't support the work I did for him. Grr! We ended our relationship with me calling her a c@@ lol!

Day-Day.... My days are differnt but weekly are the same. I do sports for a few hours Mon-Wed. I worked until 2011. I got sacked from my job. I would probably not be here if it wasn't for my Support Workers who have gotten me into sports and things they put on.

"AHA" Moments..... God there are loads. Hyper at 3am in work answering the phone with a very excitable "Good Morning......... here Laura speaking how can I help" LOL! or when I started 4 different projects for my service user and was up all night working on them. Dumped my boyfriend when we were in another country for a wedding. Had sex while dating boyfriend with another guy. Had sex with a guy I meet online and who I met only the once. Become "invisible" to traffic and cross the road thinking I am a super hero who has invisiblity powers. There are a lot more but I will spare you lol!
Thanks for this!

Im going to throw out a few things and maybe see if you guys can relate to me, please
-trying to jump out of a moving truck and thought if I just tucked and rolled I would land on my feet
-Popular but would go to the dark side often without contact with friends for months
-clingy to boyfriends then super standoffish
-hitch hiking just for fun
-a lot of drugs and booze
-one night stands, 3 in one week was the most
-going from feeling super ugly to then feeling like every guy wants me from dr's to lawyers to police officers
-major rages against my mom, calling her ugly names
-there is no talking during arguements when I am hyper, its yelling
-randomly dancing and screaming songs until the shakies stop
-go from sleeping or at least laying in bed for months on end then as soon as summer comes I can't stop going for most of it
-**** moving that is supposed to be still
-paranoia and over-reacting (possibly ptsd I think)
-a long time with no sex drive then boom I could F*&k non-stop
-coming up with business ideas in my head and get clients then don't call them back cuz Im bored with it already
-taking classes in school and get there and think I am above all this and leave school
-kids are the funnest ppl to be around then can't stand their noise and have to go hide from them to get some calm...many times thruout the day
-cheating, lying and stealing just for the hell of it
Thanks all I can think of right now lol.
