I am bi-polar

I have bi-polar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, and I have anger and depression issues, but I am trying to help myself work through it. And someone here said that Bi-Polar is a sexuality. Actually, that is bi-sexual. I have created my own definition of Bi-Polar: Bi-Polar or, like the poles, on opposite ends of the Earth. Basically, that takes into account for opposite moods. Bi means two, or in this case, two common feelings. You can feel manic and depressed, yet you take one either way. Like you get so depressed that you are manic. Or, you are manic, and yet you are depressed. Firstly, being so depressed that you are manic is like being depressed, so to the point where you dont want to live, so you get into a manic situation, ie: suicide. But, being manic, you get so angry and annoyed that it depresses you b/c you dont feel "normal", yet I have many definitions for that. I hope that helps to clear up the wonderings of bi-polar. [/b]

Its ok. I'm schizo and I have learned to deal with it and so can you if you try very hard.

I do not doubt that you feel that way, but that is not what bi-polar means. People who are bi-polar often switch from a severe depression to an almost carefree manic happiness. Manic episodes and depressive episodes are rather mutually exclusive.

What you are talking about sounds alot like Major Depression

some one i work with is bi-polar

sometimes when she has an outburst i just like to give her a little space

I am becoming more and more convinced that I'm bipolar. Last Wednesday I was so depressed I very almost took my own life. But Thursday and Friday were a bit better and come Saturday I was so high. I was so happy and I kept singing and I was so hyper. I still am. lol.
