After a 3rd suicide attempt and 10 day stint in a mental hospital I was diagnosis as Bipolar II. Then at my last psychtrist she changed me to bipolar I.
After really looking at my internal self it seems I have major mood swings and fly off the handle easly. Anger is my best friend LOL. It seems my husband triggers it. I can keep it under wraps for the most part it only comes out around my closet family members (spouse, childern). I do get hyper in front of everyone and have times of eccisive talking. I use to be really bad with sexual actions and parting but since being married that has stopped. I can stay up and get very little sleep but I don't want to!!! I am so tired the next day and will fall asleep at my desk!!! It is awful and the meds make it worse!! It seems like I cycle monthly. almost like a menstrual cycle. Tired and slightly depressed and sleepy one week, hyper, and over sexed the next and then back to normal. Is this somewhat bipolar or just some crazed PMS trip???? this crazness started in my 20's and has gotten worse in my late 20's and bottomed out after the birth of my last son (who is now 20 months old). Any help or ideas?? |

It appears you have been getting some help...this is always a first and probably the hardest step.
For ideas it is seems it is the basics...however...you've probably have experienced too...the basics are incredibly difficult to stick to... Medication as prescribed Eating correctly Sleeping correctly Excercising correctly I've received this advice many times...when I'm down...can't get out of bed let alone excercise...just give me some ice cream. When I'm up...sleep, food, what are they? Can't help with a comparison to PMS...but the rollercoaster ride with corkscrews and large climbs and drops...tends to be part of the bipolar experience... Anyway glad you have found PC...during my travels...I found much direction from sharing here.

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