Hey everyone. I'm so glad I found these
forums not that now I can talk about
bipolar. Sometimes I feel like I can't
talk about it to people. Anyways I think
i've had bipolar for a while now (at least
since I was young, like 7 or 8). The
thing is that i've read about bipolar and
when I do I get so surprised because i'm
like, "woah I do this a lot..." some
times i'll have the most drastic mood
swings (from fairly okay to frustrated to
really sad). Like i'll start cryingt out
of nowhere. Or i'll be really hyper and
have all this unbelievable
energy(sometimes even when I sleep for
only 4-5 hours). That's another thing...
I have the worst time falling asleep.
Let's say its 11 pm and I go to bed.
Most of the time i'll just think think
think and realize that its 1 or 2 in the
morning. I'll think about a million
things aand then fall alseep once i'm
really tired. I'll fall asleep when i'm
realy tired like at 2 usually. The
biggest problem is my my mom thinks that
i'm just over reacting. She thinks that
its just "normal" and i'll get over it
...Some times I feel like begging her to
take me to a psycyatrist. She doesnt
think that talking to a professional is
"right"...So that's where i'm stuck.
I've had numerous times when I wanted to
talk to someone so badly but i've never
dared to talk opening about this with her.
So, anybody got advice? :roll:

Help For a Teen Posted: 05-21-06 13:28pm
I hope you get help soon, my 14 yr.Old
daughter was diagnosed about 1 yr. Ago
adhd and bipolar. Alot of what you were
describing was just like her. Read the
book "the bipolar child" by demitri and
janice paplos. If that sounds like you
then show it to your mom, teacher, Dr.
Until someone helps you. I wish my
daughter had told me about her feelings
along time ago b/c we were all suffering
from her behavior and mood swings
especially her but I had no idea what was
going on with her.
Maybe you just have depression? You have
something going on that you deserve and
need to talk to a Dr. Or counselor.
Even if it's just regular "good ole"
teenagerness! You need need to talk to a
professional. I hope someone (mom) will
listen to you and take you serious and get
you to the Dr.,counselor, or you might
need to do it on your own-start with your
teacher or school counselor. Good luck
and god bless. Ashleyefc

i think i have manic depression.
I think it started when i was young, 10,
11 ish, im 14 now.
whenever i feel sad i start crying and i
cant stop, i think of no reason for living
and if people would notice if i were
gone.
this can happen over little tiny things ,
or for no reason at all
I cant tell my mum or dad, they wont
believe me and im scared that i do because
i dont want to be controlled by
medication
if any1 out there can help it will be much
apreciated

I'm proud of you that you want to seek for
help. I have a 16 year old daughter who
has been taking meds for bipolar yet
refuses to believe anything is wrong with
her. She hurts herself and is constantly
depressed. So yes, there's alot wrong
with the situation. I push her to get
help constantly and administer her meds.
At this time she just found out she's
pregnant and I need to know...now what?
she's 3 weeks pregnant and have been on
meds. will the fetus be ok?
