I have a classmate (female) who is bulling everybody from my class and some people who is older than her. At the first semester she was always crying in French class then, at the the second and third semester she beats me up for no reason and scares the s*** out of my classmates and friends. In my perspective she dosen’t look normal and it is too impossible that she has a mental illness since all of us go to a private Roman Catholic College.

P.S. Some of my classmates and teachers tried to help her I think but, most of them either got beat up or had a nervous break-down

and can one live with these illnesses w/o therapy?

Provide an example of a person who suffers from this illness. Like, what are the symptoms, reactions, etc.

My husband says that they are different. I say they’re the same.

can a person with all of these problems still take the meds that are prescribed while they are pregnant? i don’t know all of meds she takes, but depakote, valium , lithium, are some of the meds she has been on.
i don’t need to ask my doctor, i am not the one on meds

My husband is a non medicated bipolar pt. He has had issues with my daughter and last nite apparently took the cake. He was drinking, and fixated on one thing i said as i was walking out the door. When I returned he was crying so i left him alone. He came to me talking about how the world was going to end and that the shooting in virginia was just one of the starting things. And that he was just speaking for the shooter becasue noone would listen. Then he got angry. (might have had something to do with me pouring his bottle of alcohol down the sink ) He never laid a hand on me but he definately powered over me for intimidation. He wouldn’t let me leave to another room. He was looking for the bank card and i refused to give it to him, but i did go take half the money out of the bank as he is not on our account. He finally passed out. The kids are all ok. the daughter that was the focus is not home and is moving out. She is very disrespectful to me and him and he seems to think i can fix it. we have tried just about everything except boot camp and we don’t have the money for that. So i don’t know. Just some ideas. I don’t know if hes going to remember that he is moving out today since he was pretty drunk or what. any suggestions. If its part of his mental illness I don’t feel i should throw him to the curb if he wakes up and feels totally bad….help
he was diagnosed before we got back together. I day pt because i am a nurse so it is hard to go different pattern. He has told me he uses the alcohol when he is depressed but it starts with depression and turns to anger among other things.

I know when you’re manic, you don’t sleep much. But if you’re not manic, and then for one reason or another you don’t get much sleep, can that make you go manic?
I’m bipolar. What I’m asking is, if I don’t get sleep, could that send me into a manic episode?
