I have a lot of problems going on me,
bipolar is one of them.
When I lost a close friend (we had an
issue and she wanted nothing more to do
with me) and my grandmother both in high
school, I had noticed I fell into
depression. My parents took me to see a
therapist who diagnosed me with bipolar.
My mother did not accept that and argued
with the therapist that I didn`t and made
her change the diagnosis to chronic
depression. After a couple visits, she
sent us to a psychiatrist who spent maybe
a half hour with me and gave me pills that
were for adults (and I was a minor) and
the pills nearly killed me. All I could do
was lay in bed, I couldn`t sit up, I
couldn`t get up to go to the bathroom, I
totally stopped eating and drinking
entirely. After a couple days of that mom
re-read the pill bottle label, found out
the age restriction and flushed the pills.
I thought the therapist lady was nice but
I didn`t feel the hour-long sessions were
going anywhere so after a few sessions, I
told my parents I wanted to quit and that
was the end of that.
After college I moved a few states away in
with my long-time boyfriend and his mother
(we had been dating or about 5 years).
Things spiraled out of control, I actually
grew violent and had very little control
of myself. I was completely different and
all due to the extreme stressful
environment (I don`t want to go into
details of what was going on between me,
him and his family). After a year under
all that and him turning into a completely
different person in every aspect, I came
back to my parents` home.
2 years after returning, I have improved
since I was in my ex`s home but there are
still problems. A few weeks ago, I was
alone in the house with the animals, as
what frequently happens, and just out of
the blue, for no reason, I was suffering
from a panic attack. I was almost
hyperventilating, felt paranoid and became
desperate to get out of the house so I
went for a walk (which is normal for me to
do). With my current boyfriend whom I`ve
been dating for a bit over a year now,
over the course of our relationship, there
has been times where mistakes happened
that flew me into a furry where I felt
like marching over to his house, slapping
him and telling him the relationship was
over. Luckily, I maintained enough control
of myself where none of those things
happened and we were able to make it past
those mistakes (which turned out to be
just little things).
2 years since I broke up with the first bf
and I`m still suffering relapses of what
had happened and still get nightmares
about him. I still have yet to get back
the interest I had in things before, like
video games, drawing, writing (I can`t
stay focused on my writing at all). I get
lonely very easily since an explosion
happened where people suddenly turned on
me and were fabricating untruthful stories
and harassing me about a subject matter
that did not involve them that happened 5
years prior. So most of my time, aside
from work and occasionally seeing my bf
which is nowhere near as often as what it
used to be (by his choice, not mine), I
keep myself in my room and wishing to have
a friend who`ll spend time with me and be
willing to talk with me.
I guess really I`ve described more than
bipolar problems here but I just needed to
get this out and I need to do something to
make my life better. I make almost barely
enough money to pay for my bills (while I
live with my parents because I can`t
afford to live anywhere else) so anything
that involves money or any kind of finance
is out of the question. I have no idea
what to do.

Yes, it sounds like you are almost
displaying depression and anger. Both
being seperate issues. If indeed you are
Bipolar, would be good to get one some
meds. Now, the anger you would need to go
into anger management theopy and be taught
how to re-direct you anger in a
construtive way.
Just my thoughts.

Hm, I did not think about the possibility
of having anger issues.
