Well I was told i was BP a few months ago. I must have had it for a while. i have no idea. i'm used to it by now, but i hate it. part of me wants to stay depressed for sum unknown reason the rest wants to be normal. i'm only 14 and my lifes been changing a lot lately. My parents are getting a divorce and i don't know whether to hate or like my dad (there is other reasons i prefer to keep to myself.) I don't know anymore. i think i must be crazy sumtimes. i don't know how to react to being Bipolar. i take meds but they don't work well. they only help with being less shy. but i still change on a dime. no one can relate to me. that's why i finally broke down and desided to get help from people who did. but i hate therapy so i figured discussing it with similar people was a good desicon. right now i'm feeling blank. like how i feel before i go manic or depressed. i was happier earlier so i don't know what to expect. hmm... morning awaits. i'll post more late suppose.

HI, Morgan!

I'm sorry to hear what you are going through...you do not deserve it, and it's not your fault, OK?

I'm glad you found us here...you're right, it's really good to talk to others who go through the same thing. Keep going to therapy, though, if you can. I know it can be unpleasant, but you have to give it time to work.

If your drugs aren't working, you should talk to the doc who prescribed them...they do like to keep you on them for six weeks or so to give them a chance to work, though.

I hope things have been better for you today. that's all you can do, really, one at a time.

it's rough what youre going through mate,and in time hopefully it will all be a bit easier,as davey said just remember it's not your fault,and I when I was depressed when I was 15(close to your age)found that it was easier to go down than fight to be up,but it's so much better to be happy than down.It does take hard work but its worth the fight.hand in there hon,you're also going through the hardest years,being a teenager is no walk in the park either.There's a lot of good support on this site and good learning about your condition.be strong darl.

I agree with the above stated.

As well, I don't know where you are from, or how the medical system works, but group therapy is really good for youth with mood disorders. I facilitate one, and honestly the progress the people in the group has made since joining is amazing. It's always nice to have people close to your age with similar problems to talk to.

I too, was diagnosed with bipolar when I was 14 years old. The diagnosis since then has changed, but at the time I felt exactly like you do. Best of luck, I'm always here if you need to talk.

hang in there, girl. we've talked and you know how tough it can be but you also know it can get better........love, pat
