I just don't meet the requirements of bipolar! I think. Sure the meds work for me, but I feel I don't get manic enough. Bipolar 1...there are others far more deserving then me for that title. My hallucinations are not like bipolarish. Sure I see shimmering atoms and moving objects with kaleidoscopic symmetrical shapes in a grid like formation everywhere, but I just don't feel like that's up to par. Not here's got to be something else that I fit in, maybe a run down addict that did too much LSD or XTC. Honestly.
The multi personality thing..that's for real, but bipolar? I don't know. "crazy as a loon" I can dig, but I'm having problems with "bipolar". You dig? Last edited by Anonymous48690; Jan 25, 2015 at 02:43 AM. |

Based on your other post you have 20+ Alters ? Don't you think its possible that one or many are Bipolar?
Of course when your Alters are taking over you aren't going to be aware of it.

You think that people DESERVE to be labeled bp1?! I'm quite sure that no one wants to have any forum of bipolar.... and no one deserves it!
Hallucinations and psychosis seem to be in the realms of bipolar 1 w/ psychosis or schizophrenia. I'm not sure if there are any others. So, take your pick. And if you have psychosis, I'm quite sure that automatically qualifies you as bipolar 1 and not bipolar 2, even if you maybe don't have full-blown mania.

I'm not sure about it myself, as I am very low threshold and haven't had many of the problems that come with bipolar. However, I had a problem, sought help, got put on a medication, and have not had the problem since. I struggle with it too, but looking at it logically, being on the medication has stopped me from being uncontrollably angry or depressed. So at the very least I have reason to stay on the medication even if I question the accuracy of the diagnosis. Prefer to play it safe, y'know?

My p doc labled me bipolar 1 without psychosis. I was mad about that lable, but it was the combing factors of abusive childhood from home and at school, and the major depression cycling. As long as I can stop wanting to kill myself, I dont care whate they call it. A rose by anyother name.....

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