Symptoms of bipolar ? Posted: 07-18-05 10:01am
Hey, I jst edited this after realising
what I originally posted was way too long.
I want to know if this sounds like
bipolar: basicly in shorted form, I just
left school because I was stresd, I dont
know why-the work was easy but I was just
so down all the time. I'd go home at
lunch time nd sit in the sun instead. I
droped out of groups because I thought
they thought I was a freak when in actual
fact no one had a problem with me. I
tryed to change to a new group but the
same thing hapened, I wouldnt talk, thats
just not the real me-at least I dont think
so. I can be loud, funny and normal but
just not at school. I recently got broken
up with and im happy and thinking im
moving on one moment and then I can feel
myself go down and everything just sux, no
one cares about or knows the real me, no
one thinks im going anywhere with my life.
I know this is not true and I try to stop
these thoughts but they keep coming and I
cant talk to people when im like this
because I say things that I dont mean and
cant seem to control it. I tryed talking
to a friend about this but he just threw
it back in my face pretty much. He said I
was an fool, weird and too sensitive. Is
any of this symptoms of bipolar?

Sounds Like Normal Adolesence Posted: 07-22-05 00:23am
I'm no expert but it sounds like your
still in your teens? Sounds like a little
low self esteem and some depression. I
dropped out of school at 16 and did
everything the hard way. Had to return to
night school. Bummer.
Do they have a ged program in your area
like they do in california? That's what
I ended up doing and then went to jr.
College and eventually became a nurse by
age 27. Don't isolate yourself it will
only make you feel worse. Hang in there.

Hey, yes I am still in my teens, im 16 but
I do have plans, I am saving for my own
computer and I will be doing a
computer/buisness course through an online
type of school called the open
polytechnic. No we dont have very much
support for people in my situation, im
working for everything I get. I went to
the doctors yesterday and although here in
new zealand they are aparantly advised not
to give anti depresasants to teens, I have
some. Today was my first day on them and
I feel so much more peacefull! I can
think clearly and am not thinking of
suicide. It has one anoying side effect
that it makes me all drowsy. I am
supposed to be talking to some people who
will help me deal with my self esteem
also. Thank you!
