I seen that show. They supposedly diagnosed a guy on the spot with a brain scan. If its true I would really like to have it done myself.

Heres the link to the place the guy got the scan from.

Thank you for the web site. I hope that people who watched that show realize that there are different degrees of bi polar, they still have no clue as to how hard it is.... Everyday. I think they just made bi polar look like we are all crazy. :shock: for instance im having a really baaad day, I have to stay home with my three year old, if I feel like crying or exploding
i go to a different room to do it. I certainly would have enough sense to never go off meds, thats like a diabetic not taking insulin.
I just wish taht there was a cure, but I know im tuff because im still here. Everyday I get out of bed and do it again. But there is so much pain in my life.
If we are controled by our cycles, ups and downs how do we ever figure out who we are??? I try for my husband who says everyday that I act different, emotional,duh, he then calls me a freak, which only sends me staight back to why me????

I don't know if you want to be preached at or not but I found god and am doing a lot better.

There are things I do like, computers, draw, write. That take my mind off of things and help me get through it.

I know in past relationships I would over think things. Most of it was common sinse things my girlfriend at the time would be telling me about.
The kind of things that seemed to annoy me every 10 minutes.
But hindsight was always 20/20 and I would often regret getting upset later.

I think the biggest problem I had was low self worth and bad judgement.
My days were filled with looking for the out. I kept looking for someplace to go where I could be alone and not worry about other people.
But then being alone made me depressed so I would start the cycle all over.
Church gave me and my current girlfriend friends we can both hang out with. They are people I feel completely comfortable with. Often times spending time with them three or four times out of the week doing whatever, helps. Giving and recieving respect from friends can go a long way tward recovery.

I also found out that there are places where bipolar people or people with mental problems in general can go to. Generaly the state you live in is suppose to supply some sort of help for people like us. They make places like club houses where people can meet and make friends and or learn to cope with every day problems.

Check this place out, its in ny but they help sponsor several clubhouses across the nation.
