Am I bi-polar? I get mad because little
things. I sabotage my relationships. I
end up pissing everone off. I get to
hyper. I've taken a test and the thing
said I was bi-polar. Help!
You could be, but to be certain you need
to see a doctor. Do you have trouble
sleeping at nights? Have rapid thoughts
or talk fast?
Do you feel hyper to the point you feel
like you could accomplish anything? Do
you have days you are so depressed you
don't want to get out of bed? Again..
All signs but again, see a specialist

Well then I would see a phyciatrist who
can get you started on the proper
medications which will help stabilize your
mood swings. Don't ignore this illness.
There are some that can lead pretty
stable lives. But if you choose to do
nothing then you are self distructing and
missing out on a healthy life.
Good luck and let us know how you are
doing

Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder Posted: 12-12-06 03:39am
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder
characterized by alternating states of
depression and mania that follow each
other in a repeating cycle.
People with bipolar disorder may cycle
through these states quickly or may
experience long periods of depression or
mania. Often one mood state
predominates, while the other occurs only
infrequently or briefly.
Symptoms of the elevated mood stage of
bipolar disorder include an exaggerated
sense of confidence and well-being, racing
thoughts, excessive talking,
distractibility, increased desire for
pleasurable activity, decreased need for
sleep, impulsivity, irritability, and
impairment in judgment. The depressed
phase includes symptoms of sadness,
fatigue, pessimism, feelings of
helplessness, low self-esteem, and loss of
interest in life, possibly with thoughts
of suicide.
