Does anyone here suffer from bipolar 2 disorder? What has your experience been like? Real answers please! thx! I work with ppl with it, it is a very difficult thing for anyone associated with or around it to deal with, extreme mood swings, thought, energy and behavior. But with the right meds it can be controlled so the person can live a near to normal life I do. I don't take meds for it because I feel that the doctors make it worst. I can't keep a job. I haven't worked in 6 years. I keep myself locked in my room. I can't have a normal relationship. I feel low of myself but at the same time I feel like I own the world. My sex drive is super high and I'm in a bad mood when theres people arond me. Pretty depressing at moments. Sometimes I will be sitting there talking to a friend, having a normal fine conversation. Then I will just remember something they said or did wrong to me in the past and get angry or upset about it. I don't lash out at them but I do close up fast. I have a problem obsessing over things people have done to me and hold a grudge for it, its hard for me to be friends with anyone at all now because only 1 friend has never "betrayed me". That's my main problem, just being fine with someone one minute, then mad at them, then sad over them, then feel like I miss them, even when they're right in front of me. Bethenia http://myspace.om/betheniajane25... I live with some sort of BI-polar and from what is described I think it to be type 2 (whatever that means...) I have had some sort of difficulties all my life, but by the grace of God, help from meds, and loving family... I can manage... maybe no job, but a life worth living... THXS I have bipolar and I have the mania side of it... I cant say that my experience with it has been bad or good... Sometimes it could be good and sometimes it could be bad... I have the high end point (which i love) and then I have the LOW point (which sucks!) When Im at my high end point I feel that Im high... that i just taken a puff of pot! I feel really good... to the point that feel that Im queen of the world and that everybody must obey me... I actually feel that I want to take over the darn planet... This kind of act last up to a day... or couple of other days... then I go to my LOWS... which I feel depressed all day... I dont want nothing to do with the world. It really sucks I tell ya! The mania side of Bi polar... Excessive energy, activity, restlessness, racing thoughts and rapid talking 鈥?Denial that anything is wrong 鈥?Extreme "high" or euphoric feelings 鈥?a person may feel "on top of the world" and nothing, including bad news or tragic events, can change this "happiness." 鈥?Easily irritated or distracted 鈥?Decreased need for sleep 鈥?an individual may last for days with little or no sleep without feeling tired. 鈥?Unrealistic beliefs in one鈥檚 ability and powers 鈥?a person may experience feelings of exaggerated confidence or unwarranted optimism. This can lead to overly ambitious work plans and the belief that nothing can stop him or her from accomplishing any task... 鈥?Uncharacteristically poor judgment 鈥?a person may make poor decisions which may lead to unrealistic involvement in activities, meetings and deadlines, reckless driving, spending sprees and foolish business ventures. 鈥?Sustained period of behavior that is different from usual 鈥?a person may dress and/or act differently than he or she usually does, become a collector of various items, become indifferent to personal grooming, become obsessed with writing, or experience delusions. 鈥?Unusual sexual drive 鈥?Abuse of drugs, particularly cocaine, alcohol or sleeping medications 鈥?Provocative, intrusive or aggressive behavior 鈥?a person may become enraged or paranoid if his or her grand ideas are stopped or excessive social plans are refused. ------- The lows Some people experience periods of normal mood and behavior following a manic phase; however, the depressive phase will eventually appear. Symptoms of depression include: 鈥?Persistent sad, anxious or empty mood 鈥?Sleeping too much or too little, middle-of-the-night or early morning waking 鈥?Reduced appetite and weight loss or increased appetite and weight gain 鈥?Loss of interest or pleasure in activities, including sex 鈥?Irritability or restlessness 鈥?Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions 鈥?Fatigue or loss of energy 鈥?Persistent physical symptoms that don鈥檛 respond to treatment (such as chronic pain or digestive disorders) 鈥?Thoughts of death or suicide, including suicide attempts 鈥?Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless |
