He’s had 12 “relationships” by the time he was 16. He’s a high school drop out. He was sent into foster care at a late age of 16. He spent 6 months their. Anyways, he likes to drink and is hyper-sexual. A nymphomaniac. He lies, manipulates, and cheats.

Does this have anything to do with BIPOLAR type 1?
EDIT: he has been diagnosed by a psychologist as having bipolar type 1

Tell me what your depression is about for instance what issue in your life is keeping you depressed? Do you believe you can’t change this issue but you think someone else could?

Also what are you high about? What other issue that is not a depression but is something that others don’t have in their lives that which you are manic over?

And if a child’s parents both have it what are the chances the baby will develop?

On December 25th I fell ill and have been ill since then (but am recovering now, thankfully). Since December 26th, I’ve been taking many medicines to help me feel better- including Disprin (a brand of aspirin), Panadol, Beechams All in One liquid and Night Nurse (taken before bed). Since I started taking all of these new over-the-counter medicines, I’ve been experiencing problems with my sleep. Every night. Last night, for example, I settled down with my boyfriend to go to bed at around 11pm (I wasn’t tired, but he was), and I just couldn’t get to sleep. I eventually dropped off at around 4.30am, but then woke up again at 6am, feeling strange.
You see, I think it may be because I suffer from bipolar disorder, and I take drugs as a treatment for it. Could me taking the combination of bipolar drugs and over-the-counter medicines be the cause of my sleepless nights? I mean, it can’t just be my bipolar, can it? I never have problems with my sleep, ever.
Anyone have any idea of what could be wrong?

I dated this girl for 2 and a half years we were each others first love we broke up becasue i was a Bipolar A$$ hole to her weve been apart for about 2 and a half years… through out that time she always tried talking to me or being my friend I couldnt understand why so I would just be mean to her so she would leave me alone becasue I new I didnt even deserve for her to talk to me plus im not tottaly stable….

I am bipolar and know I should be taking my medicine for it, but my medicine made me sick. I got it straightened out with my psychiatrist, but for some reason I still refuse to take it. I tell myself I should and I’m not doing well, but my mind still refuses to take it. Is it strictly a lack of initiative, or can bipolar cause my fear or refusal of medicine?

www.bipolaradvantage.com What is unfortunate today is that far too many people continue to cling to the old belief that it is impossible to live a full life with a mental condition. On the other hand, a growing group of people are beginning to consider a life that is not restricted to a narrow range of experience. I look forward to the day when we all rise above the ignorance that keeps us in fear and denial of a better life. Bipolar In Order is based on a very simple premise we can learn and grow to the point that we see our condition as an advantage in our lives. Because this concept is often difficult for many people to accept on blind faith alone, I encourage everyone to simply begin by accepting that this new perspective is possible. To make this perspective a reality requires persistence, determination, and commitment. If you will give this perspective a chance, you will prove it in your own life. There are so many examples of bipolar “disorder” that it is easy to understand why so many people try to avoid it instead of facing it and getting it under control. We can choose to view depression, mania, hallucination, and delusion from at least two different perspectives–either as “disorder” or as “in order.” Knowing that we have a choice of perspectives leads us to the understanding that we do not have to accept a diminished life. We begin to see what bipolar can be if we get it “in order” instead of trying to make it go away. For me, Bipolar In Order is the greatest …

Here I describe where the tribal level of consciousness is where we start out in our spiritual evolution, not only culturally, but as we grow from childhood to adulthood. This helps those with Bipolar Disorder gain further depth into our evolutionary process.
