What can I do to help someone who I believe is bipolar?
I've spoken to his closest friends who've known him for ages, and they believe he is bipolar. His family is not very supportive in anything. I know his friends would be there for him if he gave them the chance, but he has hit another low and keeps insisting that 'he deserves to be alone forever.' What should I do to help? I don't want his life to spiral out of control, I want to be there for him.There is also the fact that he refuses to speak to me, because he wants to be alone.
Help with bipolar 1,bipolar with psychotic features and schizoaffective or schitzo?
I have been diagnosed with bipolar for many years and have had many different insurances and dr's.I never took the meds long enough or went to the dr long enough to get real help until a year or so ago. I have a great Dr right now and have been seeing her for awhile and following through with the meds.I was hospitalized for a mixed manic state recently and when i saw my Dr next i flat out asked her what was wrong with me since it was becoming apparent something more than just bipolar 1 was happening.I asked her if she thought i was " schitzo" and she said either that or bipolar 1 with psychotic features. Can anyone tell me in laymens terms what bipolar 1 with psychotic features means or what the " schitzo" could be? Since the appt i saw there are several different " schitzos" I wish i would have asked her more specifically but i have a 2 month lapse in my insurance now so i cant ask for 2 months.I very RARELY hallucinate only a couple times in my life same with hearing voices but i am extremely paranoid.If it helps im taking geodonlithiumklonopinadderrallzoloftAny personal experiences,advice or insight greatly appreciated.Thank you Ive been taking the zoloft for about 2 months and my paranoia,depression and extreme anxiety at the thought of leaving my house has gotten worse since i started the zoloft.I wrote my dr since im still covered until the end of july.Hopefully ill hear back from her by today or tomorrow.Thanks for the info im just confused on what it is about me that makes me have " psychotic features" could the paranoia be considered that?Im not hostile towards others if anything im terrified of confrontation and crowds.I know im not a schizoid,i have a friend whos brother has that and i know thats not me,i dont think im schizophrenic since i dont regularly hallucinate or hear things.Could bipolar 1 with extreme paranoia be where she thinks im possibly schizoaffective? Ive read about it online but it confuses me.
Are bipolar people afraid of falling in love?
I was seeing this guy for almost six months when he decided that he wanted to be " Free" . I though we were getting very close, but he just started to push me away. He is bipolar and takes his meds everyday. He was very lonely and sad when i first met him, and he told me that i was the best relationship he has had. He went on a trip, and when he got back he asked for distance. After awhile we started to see each other again. I told him how i felt about him this last Sunday, and instead of being gentle and treating me with consideration, he has been rude to me in front of people and seems to want me to go away. I have cut him off and not called or texted or any sort of communication. Is he afraid of getting close to someone who treats him very well? I don't understand what happened. Is he afraid of falling in love?

Do you think I'm bipolar?
I can be happy for awhile, things will be good great even. I'll be loving life, almost a numb happiness as if nothing can ever go wrong and everything is perfect. But then something happens and the world comes crashing down. It's like I'm dead. I will lie in bed feeling like I'm dying, wanting to die, pushing the world away. Just lying there alone, passing the time. Then everything okay again, I'm happy. I'm great, nothing can stop me. But when I'm happy I'm always just waiting for things to come crashing down. I'll feel great, but in the back of my mind there's apart of me that knows the happiness can't last. And I'm always so afraid of when it will end. I'd been happy for awhile things were going well. But they came crashing down again tonight. Now I'm wallowing in self pitting until it flips and I'm happy again. Then I just have to wait for it to fall apart again. I can't stand it. I hate it. I don't know what to do. I'm scared I'm bipolar. But I'm not allowed to get help. My parents say it's embarrassing and I could never live a normal life. Not that I want to be normal, there's no such thing. I am old enough to get help on my own. But I'm too scared. Alone and afraid. I'd like to just give up on life. The times of happiness aren't worth it. They don't balance out the sadness. I want help. But I'm scared. I can't be like this anymore, but I don't know what to do. I'm 17 years old. My aunt is bipolar but we aren't allowed to see her or really mention her. My sister had serve depression and my parents don't like it either. I don't know what to do. I just know I can't go on like this and it doesn't feel right. And don't just say talk to your parents because it really isn't an option. I can't make them understand. I have no idea what to do, and school is out plus there aren't any teachers I could tell. I don't believe in god or to church so there's no one there. I don't know how to get help. I feel sick. What do I do?
Do you think i am bipolar?
i am a bit concerned about myself and dont want to talk to anyone about it yet. but just tell me what you think...i have been getting terrible mood swings im either euphoric or suicidal but also i can just be in a normal state sometimes, but usually its one of the two.when i feel euphoric, i feel connected with the whole world and like i can do anything. and my whole body tingles and its all intense. i get uncontrollable laughter.but when i feel down, i cant stop thinking about everything bad in my life. i regret everything, critisize my whole life and get flashbacks from bad times in my childhood. and cry for hours.and these moods stop me from interacting with people, going out, having friends, maintaining relationships. depression runs in my family and i have counsilling for " depression"
Could i be bipolar or have an anxiety disorder?
Im 16 years old and im wondering if it is possible to have some type of behavioral disorder. It seems as though my moods are up and down throughout the day. Situations that normally wouldn't worry or stress out someone, stress or worry me. My behavior can be erratic to the point where i got so mad about not liking the house my parents were renting for vacation that i crumbled up and threw the directions at my mother and was screaming . I have anger outbursts but they are not every day.Also i become worried and expect the worse all the time. If my parents are out and and are late coming home i become fearful of where they are and when they will return. If my boyfriend doesn't answer my texts or leaves me to go home or hangout with his friends i become fearful that its because he doesn't want to be with me anymore. I become upset easily and cry for no reason sometimes. When i become stressed and worried like this i also feel sick like im going to throw up and i get headaches. When i have my sad fits i just want to sleep all the time to make my problems go away. Other times i can't fall asleep and suffer from insomnia. I don't know why i act this way i don't want to but i can not control it that well it seems. I don't want to feel this way all the time, i just want to feel normal and happy.

Should I be mad at him or not because he is an addict and Bipolar?
My brother was in prison for violating probation that he was put on for assaulting me in the past, which he has tried to kill me before several times. He was a drug addict, alcoholic, and diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. I forgave him in the past and have tried to do everything to help him get on his feet, even paying his college tuition with my own student loan, and paying his rent when needed.He got out of prison about a month ago, and three weeks ago he came to me and told me that he had relapsed, did cocaine, and pawned my Dad's things to buy the drugs. I was actually glad to hear this, because he was confessing it to me the next day instead of lying about it and trying to hide the relapse. I thought it was a step in the right direction.Last week, he left work and bought a bottle of Vodka and drank it. Then at abuut 5 am he woke my parents and my other brother and his son, threatening to kill them all, including the baby.The police came and arrested him and he is now in jail awaiting trial on violation of parole. Most likely, he will serve another 2 1 2 years in prison.I have not spoken to my brother since, and honestly I am very mad at him, specifically for threatening to kill my baby nephew. He called my Mom's house yesterday while I was visiting and I told her I didn't want to speak with him. She got mad at me because she thinks I need to " be supportive" and whatnot. So, opinions on how to handle this please?Thanks to everyone I can't choose a best answer because I appreciate them all a lot. Thanks

Bipolar or cheating or other?
A little while ago my wife changed. She had gastric bypass surgery over a year ago, I have been fully supportive in this and any other thing she does. We have a great marriage of 3 years and have been together for 5. We had an argument a couple of weeks ago same sort of run of the mill argument that we have had before. It was a bit different, it is time to get help to get over the same humps we come to. I am not perfect and have some behaviors I need to work on, but nothing horrible. I tend to spend too much time on the computer, yet I am here and help with things, I totally isolate. I started working on that and she started going away more. I then found out that she took all of our money out of savings almost 3 g's , had her check stopped direct deposit into our checking. She took the day off from work and went to a town about an hour away and shopped. I tried asking her what was going on I had no clue. I thought that what she did was way over the top for just an argument. If I beat her, and drank like a fish everyday I would not be surprised of her behavior. At first the talks seemed to center around me and my behavior which I tried to keep it to anyway. The things that I normally do, and have been working on were an issue. She now is starting to come around, and feel bad for her behavior because it is affecting me badly. I am just trying to be patient and understanding and supportive. It is hard not to take it personally. I see where she is trying to figure things out. I do not feel in my gut that she is cheating but a lot of the things I am seeing can be interpreted as that except for one major difference she is not sidestepping my approaches. The symptoms can also be using drugs also. She went to see a psych, and doesn't think that it is possible to be diagnosed so quickly. She does have epilepsy and depression and remember she has changed her weight physically. She was mad that the psych was focusing on her wanting to leave me and why. I assured her that she wanted to know why because of what I had mentioned above. We have an appointment with a counselor. Anyone have any experience with a bi polar spouse?also, one day I was the best guy in the world and literally the next day I couldn't do anything good enough. She was saying that I was controlling with finances, we have the same joint account where we have a budget and we each have an allowance from that.
