Hi,I'm new here and I have been dealing
with some issues for the past two years.
I'm 14 and nothing traumatic has happened
in these past years. I've been diagnosed
with bipolar, ODD, and deppresion since
last year. But lately people have been
extra worried about me. I really dont see
anything wrong with me. I've been doing
these things since I was a 5 but no one
said anything then. Well, anyways, I've
been talking in a British accent
everywhere I go (just for the fun of it),
people have been telling me that I dont
make sense when I talk and I've been
singing to the top of my lungs to every
song I can think of (I really dont know
why). I've suddenly started to hate my
brother and be very self-centered. My
child doctor thought it was just me beng
smart and creative because I had a very
hgh I.Q. So they just put me in gifted
classes but I still think its something
other than that, I become very obsessive
with things.I've stopped cutting my hair
and I go on eating binges and the binges
last for weeks where I eat too much or
where I dont eat enough. I've been very
manipulative and I havent been going to
school all year. I'm very touchy on too
many subjects and I hate talking about
things unless I'm going to be the only one
talking. I wake up in the evenings and
stay up till 7:00 in the morning. I act
like i'm a different person usually
because I'm bored and when I'm bored I
think of crazy things, I curse a lot for
no reason and my head has been really
swimmng lately. I take remron, abilify,
and paxil but they just make me go to
sleep. It seems that this has all happened
at once. I'm really critical and talk
about people in front of there face or
behind theyre back. What is it ? Could it
be hereditary since my younger sister is
bipolar, has depression, ODD, and ADD and
my father is a recovering alcoholic ? I
really dont know whats going on. If you
coud help I would really appreciate it.
Ive also had 5 surgeries on my head in 3
years for headaches could that also be it
?
Bipolar disorder, depression, OCD and ADD
are serious mental disorders which require
expert diagnostics and therapy by a mental
health doctor. These conditions ARE
hereditary (genetically) conditioned.
