Hi I'm subz4eva ,
I've havern't had grat deal of a'good time' in the past four months.
Quite a rollercoster.But thats the past and ican't change it.
Like many people i, too have bipolar but in my teens.
Unlike other teenagers,I am continuosly battling life just to say"STOP RIGHT THERE PLZ?".
I lose hope most of the time.I don't really don't where to turn.
I'm a great performer and act in differcult situations.
The only problem is that i blame myself for all that i have done.Even though these are just symtoms ,life is one long rollercoaster.
My motto these days is'love life live life'
i just thyese don't know what to believe and what not.
Will i be fine?

Hey, it actually was completely accidental that I stopped taking my pills (the lithium, still taking everything else) as I ran out and then went to chemist to pick up repeat and repeat had expired so have to go to GP to get a new prescription. And I keep forgetting to go to the GP until around 7pm which is a little late in the day... I remember at 7am as well when I'm taking my other pills but then something distracts me and I forget again. |

Hi Emzdaisy Ah, there is a nuance we overlooked in your post. You do sound a bit defensive which makes me reflect on my own answer. I try to be very careful not to be judgemental in any way since this is not the place to do that. You seem to be handling the moving bit well. I had the same recently when I almost ran out of pills and got in a tight spot timing wise. Fortunately I kept my wit and got it sorted before a weekend. I wish I would be able to get more 'in stock' but they won't allow here. Just a couple of weeks ahead. Good luck with the changing places and stick to the plan Capt Slow “Depression is the inability to construct a future” |

Maybe someone could offer some advice? I have recently been diagnosed with Bi-polar mixed effect disorder. |

I too have mixed bipolar I disorder and I take 600mg of seroquel (quetiapine) every night. Your symptoms do not sound like symptoms of the drug, rather they sound like symptoms of a mixed state - therefore I would have to agree with your doctor and recommend you give them more time to work, because they really can work - I know for a fact, does that make sense? If you want to read about anger and agression and mixed states you should read my autobiography. The ebook is only a fiver. See http://www.katysaraculling.com/darkcloudsgather.htm I was kicking down doors, self harming whilst the nurses were at one end of the corridor running to stop me, i was FURIOUS KSx I am an administrator on this site.

This is my first visit to this site and my first post anywhere so please bear with me. I am a happy 57 year old with a lifelong bipolar condition and I just wanted to make a positive contribution offering hope to others. Over the last 40 years, I have had many, many dramas during manic phases including self harm and massive financial losses through compulsive internet gambling. Over time I have done enormous damage to important personal relationships with family and friends BUT with enormous support and patient understanding from my wife and a close circle of truly loved friends, I am now able to live very happily and unmedicated and to enjoy the huge buzz of manic phases without the damage of uncontrolled, bizarre action. It is possible to get to this position without dulling all your emotions with mind-altering drugs and I am very happy to try to help anyone get to this place of contentment as far as an untrained person like me can. That's all I wanted to say really. Speedyandy5555 aka the bipolar bear |

Welcome to the site Andy. I must admit i would be worried if you were to go around telling people not to take their meds. Here it is kinda agreed to ask your doctor first before making such huge decisions. I'd love to be off meds and enjoying my mania but i am just too self destructive for it to be safe. Still, hello and welcome, KSx I am an administrator on this site. "I'm safe, up high, See my website: www.katysaraculling.com |

Post here before doing somthing stupid - I guess I should have discovered this site about 12 hours earlier then, before I went to do a simple job on the car stero but got a bit carried away and took the inside of the car appart with a crow bar! Doh! Still by the power of positive thought good has come from the situation, and I have offered the car to the fire service free of charge to practice cutting up and getting numpty drunk people out of. Its no good for much else anymore, and scince scrap prices have been high and the whole trade in scrappage thing has happened the poor fire service have been starved of cars to train on! Oh well tomorrow is another day, I feel DIY comming on. Slinki xx |

I have BPD myself and am also feeling alone, but not alone. katysara's a tower of some sort, I second her emotion. I no longer believe that we can keep silent. We never really do, mind you. In one way or another, we articulate what has happened to us through the kind of people we become. |

It was not Cath my Partner but the landlady of a local pub. I was supposed to be having my 40th there and a charity event on the same day. We have had two other events there and I am banking the money to send it to the charity all together. It has to go in together as my company does matched giving i.e. match what we raise up to £400 per employee per year but you can only use once a year. Anyway she has now texted that she would rather not have it at all so we are going to change venue. Feel much calmer now - did take an overdose and ended up in hospital but ok now. The self harm team are going to talk to my psychiatrist to see what extra support would be best. Thanks for your support, particularly KS, you are all very important to me and my partner Cath (cappa) appreciates you too. I think my multiple personalities have multiple personalities - makes for quite a party. "If I'm sad, I put on a record. If I'm happy, I do the same. My experience says that you can let your- |

im in the middle of my first manic episode since 2006. it hurts more than i remember Natalie: "Are you finished with your coffee cup Stephen?" *5 minute debate later* Result: The contents of the cup do not determine the name of the cup. The cup is a cup/mug whether it contains tea/coffee/ribena/hot chocolate or any other beverage. |

but I didn't know why... Also look up mixed states on the internet, you will feel less alone about your anger.
