Could I Have Bipolar Posted: 02-13-06 21:00pm
Okay so this is my everyday thing
i go from huge highs that no one can bring
me down from to wanting to kill myself in
a matter of seconds I have no idea why I
feel like this nor does anything I think
or say help me snap out of it
my huge highs I feel on top of the world
like the best I could possibly feel like I
could run a mile and nothing could stop me
sometimes I can feel like this for weeks
or months and then become highly depressed
again other times it lasts for a few days
i just want to know what everyone thinks
i need to go to the doctor I know but I
worried ill have my kids taken off me or
he wont believe me and ill end up going
untreated or misdiagnosed
can someone please help me????

See a psychiatrist or search the web for
places in your area that help with
diagnosing bipolar dissorder.
There are a few places that wont even help
you if you have never been in the hospital
for a mental condition. You will need
some kind of history. Bipolar dissorder
can run in the family.
A psychiatrist will help you work through
your problems, once youre diagnosed that
is. Being diagnosed is a different
story. Can take quite a long time to be
diagnosed correctly. A therapist will
help a great deal in that area
sometimes.
To be competely honest I couldn't tell you
what will happen to your children if you
look for help. I am assuming though that
it may be worse if you don't get help.
I am bipolar myself and advice like that
isnt exactly my specialty.
