Diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder Posted: 01-18-06 11:57am
I think I have diagnosed my frieind with
bipolar disorder, and she is getting
suisidal ideas. This is not the first.
No one has ever thought she has a problem
like this that she is just lazy and being
stupid. Her normal way of dealing with
these depressive thoughts is to exercise,
and then she will feel ok/good. But is
it a good idea to rely on exercise to feel
better is it using it like a drug, because
when she does not exercise she feels
depressed and ill.
Do you think there is a cure to the root
of the problem, one which has not been
discovered where she can live happily
without the need to exercise.
I have told her to see a doctor but she
hates herself so much she does not want to
be seen and uses greats amount of energy
and effort to get ready to go out.
Please help I am worried.

What is wrong with exercise? Better
than alchohol or other street
drugs..Gently suggest a doctor or just
send this forum (not mine) but ehealth
forum address through the e-mail to
hers..That's a hint but she won't hit you
with a frying pan!!! :] don't cage her
and so what if it takes her a long time to
get ready..When I say when I have a job I
will get up 4 hours earlier just to be on
time because I have a problem with
time...I have no sense of it .... Just to
be late anyway... My friends know this
and will tell me a party is at 5 and I
will show up at 8 (right on time!) there
are different ways to skin a cat as they
say.. Good luck...
