no

...but I worked with many during my 3 decades in the mental health industry. Consider meditation and having a cognitive therapist help you to gain control of your thoughts.

I just don't have patience with people pretending what they are not.

Not that I'm aware of.

Don't practice self-diagnosis. Why not get evaluated professionally?

hmm sometimes!!!!!!!

No I'm Straight

More like schizophrenic if you ask me because sometimes I have 0 control and other things too

It runs in my family, I've never been diagnosed because I can't afford the doc or want the meds. Meds are addicting and screw with your brain chemistry.

Yes I am not. or maybe I am. or not. wait now i am.

I mean really

No. I don't think I am bipolar.

Bipolarity is grossly overrated.

True.

I have been diagnosed with it and have been a million times better ever since. It takes time to get well, but it's so worth it. And if something isn't working tell your Dr. don't just quit! Anyway, that's my advice to others with mental illnesses.

The funny thing about mental illness is if you read about them anyone can feel they may have it. And any person can be depressed or manic at times in life. But the severity is probably where the difference lies. For me there was nothing else I could do but go to the hospital to get help when I was in the throws of a manic swing. I couldn't function properly and couldn't rest at all. I went for 6 days of not sleeping one bit the last swing I had. This was fiver years ago now and I've never had such a thing happen again.

I suggest you go to your regular Dr. and discuss openly your concerns and how you are feeling. He/she can run some tests to make sure there is nothing physically wrong and you can take it from there. I wish you the best! Take the time to get some help if you are concerned. You are so worth it! :)

It takes forever for my mood to change

nope; i think i am of perfectly sound mind

But I am Unipolar. Which is Major Depression.

I tend to think this, and many other mental illnesses are mis-diagnosed all the time. . . Just my opinion, I'm no doctor but I'm one who believes that the right amount of exercise, coupled with a healthy diet and a positive environment can cure any ailment.

No, but I have a friend who is. I hope you do not have it

I clicked the wrong box I am not bipolar but my brother is ;-)

I hope your brother is managing well. I have it and am doing well, thank goodness.

No definitely not.

Feel like it sometimes

Nah but I have ADHD and Tourretes. (I hope I spelled that correct...)

2 Ts.

Thank you. ^_^

maybe not sure

Manic-Depressive I take medication and I am all right

Me too Balladeer. I'm glad you are ok. :)

thank you...me too..I will admit some days I feel sorry for the anti-depressents it's like trying to douse a building fire with a garden hose

I'm sorry to hear that. I tend to crash (depressed) after a major manic swing, but I haven't had one since being diagnosed 5 years ago. Thank God! I'm doing pretty well.

good for you , and i mean that

My best friends oldest daughter has it, I believe.

no
