Smiling...HITTING THE LIKE BUTTON ON THIS STAT...GOOD JOB
This is a "GREAT" answer. I feel like that sometimes. I didn't have anyone to talk to until I discussed this site...just a few days ago. I always feel out of place. Never attending any party at my job or anything for that matter. Just feel out of place. And people (family) quite often remind me of this...since I was a kid. So, when I got in the medical field it was like I "had to face what was PUT im my face. I just pray to stay calm all day. My wife knows alittle even though I have told her ALOT. Staying strong and believing in ourselves is key.
Hi Rogelio. I had a lot of those same questions when the Psychiatrists wanted me to BE BIPOLAR. I even hired different Pdocs to tell me I was just depressed or something. I'd go without my prior history too. After about 5 yrs I joined a free support group for depressed & bipolar & PTSD.
I got to know some of the others. Some smart. Some good looking, not losers. One thing though, as I listened to the input of others in the group, there was no way I was any thing other than BIPOLAR. & it's not so bad. It just means I'm prone to extremes, basically. I can medicate, which I do, or risk the consequences( and as time passes they are harder & harder to recover from. No, I don't like my sex drive munipulated!! I don't like to gain weight when my meds get chAnged. I don't like to pay a copayment for a zillion pills. But I will tell you this, Baby. It's been one hell of a ride my life & I wouldn't trade it for any so called "normal" for all the tea in China.pamela
Honestly I don't know alot of people that truly feel"ok." I think MANY people are bi-polar and it goes undiagnosed! You are a wonderful person and their is no shame in being different. You are not broken or damaged ... Just takes a little extra help for some of us..
