Anyone else ever wounder if they are bipolar?

It seems as if i can't be happy because any time I start feeling good about myself or something I accomplish it is immediately followed by something RALLY bad.

Anytime i am comfertable around friends or anyone something happens. It doesn't even have to be anything HUGE and I'll feel suddently depressed and as if i am dead inside.

Anyone else get like this? What do you do to snap out of it?

i just tell the doctor i need stronger meds

when i get like that i look for a fight ! but the doc's tell me it's becuse im depressed ?

*chuckle* no such luck for me.

Depressed... If you can find counseling, I hope you will.

But, remember, life happens and is a roller coaster ride. I know the feeling of not being able to get too happy or at peace because I always felt like the bird of paradise was ready to fly in and poop on it.

Bless your heart!!!!!

It's not being bipolar, it's murphy's law.

I try not to announce out loud to the universe that I'm really enjoying something or someone. As soon as I do, it all crumbles. Try being quiet about your pleasures... see if it prolongs them

I get the same way, Like I say if it wasnt for bad luck I would not have luck at all.
Just keep your chin up hun. Eventually it will be ok. Just try to jump into a hobby or just maybe read or find your fav movie and get your fav movie snack and devote a night to yourself, I have had to do that a lot too, or I just go for a walk or a drive.
Hugs.

I dunno. I usually don't do the mood swing thing. Found it was a drag. I eat a bagel or drink a cappuccino when I'm feeling down. Seems to help.

I quit drinking about 10 years ago because I found I became suicidal about two days after taking a drink. Don't know why. Think it has something with my thyroid medication.

Sudden and wild mood swings could be a sign of a problem. I'd consult a general physician (an appointment should be $40 to $75) and go with his recommendation for follow up, if you're very concerned about things.

I vote for the "insane" choice, btw. (just kidding. Kind of).

Ever since I found out my best friend has a kid and never told me (I found out through another friend) i've just been blah. Its nothing HUGE to me but i just REALLY wish he had told me instead of someone else. Ever since then i haven't wanted to go anywhere or do anything.

Bipolar is a very difficult disease to diagnose, and can take several years to get it right, without using brain scans. Watching a television commercial or reading a website will not give you the answers.

Bipolar is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed disorders, and it is no joke. Ummm... something mentioned earlier...I feel a deja vu.... people who are intentionally stupid...

Definetly depression, but I'm not sure it would be bipolar. I would say get a screening from a doctor to see what kind of depression it is.

if you feel this strongly go see a DR.and get a proper diagnosis or get new friends maybe..

I happen to be bipolar... well established, years of treatment. feel free to email me anytime if you'd like to know if what you are going through is similar. It is a dabilitating disease, and not one to be taken lightly. If you truly believe you are bipolar, you should seek treatment. I'd be happy to help you figure out where to start.
