Is Lieing a Part of Being Bi Polar?

That's just something I wanted to ask.
Dont' get offended I actually think
someone needs to go to this forum and talk
with you guys, but I wanted to check and
make sure lieing is part of being bi polar
or being a hypochondriac. Along with all
the other stuff like spontaneous outburst
of anger.

Exactly what are you implying? And what
do you mean by you guys? Does this mean
you are just randomly checking out forums
that have absolutely nothing to do with
you or anyone else in your life, just to
be judgemental?
Just thought i'd check.

Calm down crazy health forum! I was just
asking a damm question! Maybe you need
to get some kind of zoloft or something.
Do you lie a lot?

Lies Oh the Lies...

As a bipolar person now I would say no, I
do not lie. Not part this disease.
More of a character flaw that we learn
from out enviroment.
Just joined a dialective behavioral
therapy group and they have us chart our
lies every day.
We may lie and say no, i'm not angry, {to
you} but boy we are angry and it shows in
our facial expression etc.
I do this all the time because I am afraid
to show you my real feelings.
Answer your question?

Okay for my next question. Why would you
have to chart your lies if it's not part
of your disorder? Wouldn't that be kinda
the point to see how far you have
progressed with controlling your disorder?
So from reading your post i'm assuming
it is cause you totally contradicted
yourself. So no that's not really
answering my question because you totally
confused me.

Hang on a minute here, I think that
pitterpatter has a point.
Maybe someone in pitterpatters family is
bipolar and tells lies, and he/she is
trying to find out if its the bipolar that
causes it?
I'm bipolar and find that I stretch the
truth a lot in order to make myself sound
less boring in conversation, and have told
quite a few lies in the past. I'd be
interested to know whether this is part of
bi polar... But for me I have dual
diagnosis and have borderline personality
disorder too so who knows
think I am just fcuked anyway

Now I am bipolar and when I was younger I
was a compulsive lier I would lie for no
reason at all and lie about the most
stupidest things.. You could have told me
that my hair was blonde and I would have
dissagreed. I believe that it is a part
of the disorder.. I know with mine I
could lie to someone and then believe
myself that my lie was true I dont know
why I lied all the time they just somewhat
slipped out of my mouth.. It is hard to
explain... But I think that it is a part
of the disorder...

cronic lier! When he is elavated and
depressed. When he is in a med. He does
not lie. He is not the same
person....His morals change..He is out for
himself..Lies many of them my personal
feeling yes bipolar people when they have
a enbalance to cause them to get high or
lows lie. She who wonders

Liar Liar Pants On Firer!!

What are you people talking about?? I'm
involved with a mental health group and am
also a "bi-polar" if thats what you want
to call me. Personally I referred too
myself as me, and also someone who lives
with an illness. I'm also (believe it or
not) a nurse who works in an acute care
facillity where we have a certain # of
beds funded for the mentally ill,
therefore i'm also exposed to many
different illness. I'd have to say, that
with my experiences as somewone who has
this illness for 10yrs. (formally dx) and
with my work experience (14yrs.) that
lieing would be a personallity tait--don't
get upset, buts that's my opion. Tell
the guy to stop lieing and stop using his
illness as a crutch. I get really
offended when people blame "things" on
their illness. When in a manic state it
is possible to become a motor mouth as
someone mentioned, but lieing doesn't
behold this illness. It's time to be
real.

Hmmm, I find that hard to believe
unfortantly! This is just because every
person that i've ever met that was
bi-polar tends to lie and believe them.
It's a commen part of bi-polar people.
Maybe you don't, but I bet others think
you do. But hey you don't have to listen
to me i'm just stating what I know. It
just happens to be that it's not what you
know.

Not a Liar!!

I find it sad that you don't believe me,
and my experiences. Now I can only speak
for myself, and what people i've
interacted with say. But I know that I
don't, as I live my life openly and don't
need to lie, but you probably won't
believe me either when I tell you that I
don't have any aggressive tendencies
either. Every one is affected
differently, and I just don't lie, and i'm
not aggressive. I do alot of yoga and
meditate to help releave my tensions, and
work out also. I guess i'm one of the
lucky ones, but I work at it . You don't
have to lie or say/do cruel things to the
ones we're close/love with. But I write
to express my opinion, not to prove
anything.

My bi - polar disorder symptoms aare
depression that leads up to fear of people
and fear of the outdoors and panic
unreasonble paranoia and then to a
catatonic state of hazzy nothingness.
This all takes place in the time span of
about two weeks and then the high, an
instantanious burst of reactionary energy.
High confidence and feelings of extreme
power and euphoria/mania, tolerence for
people goes way up and I can often shift
my entire reality within this time e.G.
Who my friends are - where I live - what
province I live in - seperate from or
accumulate many personal items - I have
lived in over 50 different homes and have
been close with almost everyone and they
almost all hate me now. Sometimes I cry
about them sometimes I don't care at all.
Lying is not part of my disorder, being
accused of lying because of all the
strange things I 've done in my life is,
because often times I appear normal. :

it is a lie but not intentionally. I
hope u understand this see, with this
disorder, you say things you think are the
truth knowing they are not because you
have no way to control it. One knows in
mind its not true but yewt, must lie to
convince ones self that it's the truth.
Do I make sence

Bipolar Boyfriend Thinks I Lie,
Posted: 12-22-04 00:03am
|
|

|
|
Now I don't know if it is his bipolar or
his persoanlity
so bare with me
but my boyfriend thinks I lie often :(
he wants me to take a lie detector test,
which I would, I have no problem with
that, I just don't have the money for
it.
He often does not remember things, I
repeat my self, the story so many times,
and he says, I never said any such
thing... After months of this, I am
losing my patience with repeating stories,
things often
he is too young for any memory problems as
dementia,alzehimer's
( he remembers so many other things, just
when it has to do with me)
bipolar disorder fascinates me though
heck, the human mind fascinates me, as we
are all so multi level and full of
emotions...
Thanks for listening :)
