Can You Be Diagnosed With Bipolar With One Manic Episode?

Alan — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:07:59 +0000

I have a friend who has been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. His whole life he has been a rather introverted person. This could be an example of depression. Last month he became extroverted for the first time, and became talkative brave, and out going. He then went to the doctors and recieved a diagnoses of Bipolar 1 disorder.
Can a person be diagnosed with Bipolar 1 disorder with only 1 supposbly manic episode? He has never acted this way in any other point in his life?

I Make Bad Judgment Calls, With My Manic Bi Polar Depression, Do You?

Alan — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 13:03:41 +0000

I heard the rumor that my friends girlfriend was getting beat by her boyfriend & that he was attacking the children too… and I wrote an anonymous letter… it came back at me..
I don’t understand, why I make these Bad Judgment calls & do these things… Yes, I’m on meds, & I am seeing a psychologist…
It was not true, I apologized from here to The Heavens, both forgave me, now I know, I’ll beat myself up & dwell on this bad choice for months..
WHY DO I DO THIS? I don’t like the drama, but it seems, I create some of the negative drama in my life, but not meaning to, it just happens..

Should A Person With Bipolar Who’s Manic And Having Erratic Behaviour Be Held Reposible For It Once Stable?

Alan — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:26:18 +0000

I’m a person with Bipolar/Manic Depression and when I’m stable I do just fine, I work and I’m happy and quite productive. But when I’m Manic I tend to have very erratic behaviour, such as running up credit cards shopping for useless items, stealing gas for a car and driving away speeding, zig zaging in and out of traffic being charged with reckless driving and other things like that.

How Often Do People With Bipolar Disorder (manic Depression) Have A Symptom-free Day?

Alan — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:29:53 +0000

I have bipolar II. I find that virtually every day I have the symptoms of it. Sometimes they are very acute, which can be extremely difficult, whilst other times they are very mild, but nevertheless still there (i.e. little downswings or upswings).
To be honest, there has only been ONE day in the entire past year when I had no mood swings whatsoever (i.e. felt on an absolute even keel all day long, neither sad nor unduly happy, but in the middle).
It felt SO GOOD. I wish I could have more days like that.
So my question for other folks with bipolar is, how often, or what proprtion of the days do you feel symptom-free, i.e. normal?
Thanks in advance for any answers provided.

How Do I Deal With Manic Depression?

Alan — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 06:54:48 +0000

Sometimes I feel like my life (mine) isnt really important and i feel quite intriguing pleasure when i think of death although im usually afraid to die, at times i find it amusing to imagine myself dying like getting hit or something and the last few minutes as i lie down looking up at the sky is so awesome. I think i look at myself tad too low now. I dont want to be splat all over the pavement. Then sometimes i feel like i can do anything in the world and my priorities all seem so light to me. I think im kind of lost in life. I cant and dont really want to seek professional help. Are there any alternatives to being ok again? I try playing guitar and i bought a new charvel and im someday gonna use all my savings to by a Randy Rhoads but i seem to have lost my passions as well. I just wanna dream away and maybe waste away. But im really afraid to seek professional help. Friends are ok but everyones so busy in college now. And i dont really want friends around. Am i bad?
