itsa desease where you kind of have mood swings..... in somecases its from happy to sad...... others its from angry to sad it depends on the person but usuallythere are 2 main emotions and u switch on and off from those 2.......depression is always a part of being bipolar also

My friend is bipolar, you should talk to her. ~*Just Me*~ she's on this site. I have the potential for being bipolar, meaning I have some of the symptoms but it's too early to diagnose it in me, at least thats what my therapist says.
~*Freak*~

wow i could be that, cause i alwayz have mood swings and i have depression, but my doctor said i'm just attention seeking!!! but my counsiller (sp) said i really need to talk to him because i do have depression but he doesn't want to listen!!!

RandomGirl: you're councellor should be able to refer you to a good psychiatrist if your doctor is being such an asshole. Ask her/him about it. As for the mood swings, there are a lot of other symptoms to being bipolar, and a lot of them are the same symptoms for depression. It is really hard to diagnose Bipolarism in a young teen because they have not fully developed, and you can't tell whether or not its depression, anxiety, teen angst, or a legitimate brain disorder. So I wouldn't worry too much about it because it could be something different

random girl i agree with freak i dont no that much about bipolar expect the mood swings bc wen i my doctor told me i was bipolar i pretty much blanked him out and ignored everything he was telling me so....ya if u wanna no whats going on see a siciatrist and they can help you out

Sweet Solitude I highly suggest that you google bipolar to see the symptoms, because seeing your other post it's evident you don't know much about your illness, not to say that rudely. I've researched it and my best friend is so I know a lot about it. I really suggest you take the time to check it out.

right well, i gotta wait to get a new counsillor cause my last one just moved 4 hours away with her new boyfriend!!!! and i won't get a new one til i go back to school cause they see me in school time, and then i gotta explain everything to my new one again....... why is life so complicated??!!

If life were simple you wouldn't get the help you need. If your new therapist assumed she knew what was wrong with you, with little explanation you would most likely be diagnosed wrong. Having to explain the details of yourself and your life is complicated and complex and time consuming but that is the only way to be thorough and the only way to make the correct decisions on your life. Your life is in their hands basically, and I'd be damn glad to tell my therapist everything about me, if it would help. And think of it as a way to release, get it all out. You may have gotten it all out before, but it can't hurt to do it again just in case a bit was left.

o.O Hello?
~*Freak*~

yeh the last time i told my counsillor everything, it made me worse, i told her that i self harmed and she said something and i freaked i went home and cut myself everynight until she left and moved away, since she left i haven't cut once - which means the last time i self harmed was july 6th :)

depressed gal- hello to you to

~heya i don't really write poems i just joined so that i can write on the discussion boards!! lolz, if i had to describe myself in one word it would probably be.............. DEPRESSING!! ~

why did u say that? i mean calling urself depressed isnt gonna get u anwhere except label urself.... and will keep u depressed bc ull always think ur depressed? dont u wanna try to b happy?

DepressedGal then why did you bother saying anything at all? Just wondering...

Solitude. Most people who are bipolar, sorry this will sound odd, deny that anything is wrong with them..They do not beleive they are bi polar they do not beleive they need help. I'm not saying you are thinking that way beacuse you are bi polar, you could just be stubborn, or you could be right. I'm just saying, its another indication and symptom. I'm glad you decided to look at it though.
~*Freak*~

RandomGal- maybe you just have a hard time dealing with your emotions and having to talk about them makes it worse. but those are the times that you need to talka bout them most. when you dont want to talk about them, thats when you should force yourself to talk about them. its horrible and it sucks, but its true
~*Freak*~

it wasn't the fact i was talking about my feelings it was what she said back to me, i said i hadn't self harmed in a while and she started going on about how i was doing really well and she didn't think i was gonna self harm again and that i shouldn't because i would let all my mates down!!

random girl_ i agree with freak u need to talk about u emotions even if its jsut to a frend but u need to talk abotu them other wise it jstu gets built up and can up out in anger towards ones u love or SH or other things it will make u more depressed and more sad if u ever wanna talk my email is

MOTOR_MOUTH1991@yahoo.com

luv RaNdOmGaL xxx

sometimes it has to get worse b4 it can get better

Your councellor, randomgal, was most likely putting mroe pressure on you than she intended to. most councellors don't realize that they arnt encouraging you, they are pressuring you. But if they don't then they are discouraging you, so they go on the safe side by trying to encourage you and give you hope.

depressedgal- so are you trying to tell us that you are randomgal or something?

solitude-do you have msn, and if you do would you mind if i added you. i would truly like to help you as much as i can, even if you just need an ear. and besides, i love making new friends
~*Freak*~

yeh but did she have to go that far, couldn't she have just said your doing really good?
luv RaNdOmGaL xxx

depressedgal- is that a yes?
~*Freak*~

random/depressedgal- yea she probably felt the more encouragement the better. honetly though i dont know what she was thinking, she sounds like a real idiot, you get those sometimes. when i made the thought to stop cutting my therapist asked me if i was sure o.O "do you really think you can do it?" at least she didnt discourage you
~*Freak*~

random girl- i no that u wish she could have sed your doing really well but she didnt so move on and maybe bring it up to her that shes pressuring u shell probably try and b nicer then

freak-no i dont have an msn but my email is up ther end i have a screen name its sweetsolitudeo11

freak ur therapist sound like a real dumbass lol

yeh ok well she's gone now and i never have to see her again!!!
luv RaNdOmGaL xxx

Well I'll keep the email somewhere if I think of something useful for you. I could send you a condensed version of the symptoms if you'd like. I don't mind doing the research again.
~*Freak*~

And yes my therapist is a real dumbass. I love fucking with her mind. I call her MzKnowItAll...to her face even at times. But mainly I just pretend to be in a good mood and that everything is wonderful, and then i tell her all the shti thats happenng in my life and she gets confused because im in a great mood. I love it because she doesnt know shit all about me. I have a therapist at school that i really talk to, that knows me, i just wait for her to come around
~*Freak*~

lol

I am bipolar. I know what you mean about labeling yourself as such. In fact, I am not bipolar, I have bipolar disorder. I like the sound of that much better, don't you?

ur right bipolar disorder sounds better sept its still a disorder and i dont like that but its better

~*Freak*~:
Why the hell would you call the doctor an asshole? If he thinks it's for attention, he's probably right. See, theres a difference from being sad, and thinking you're depressed and seeking attention. Besides, don't you think the DOCTOR, who is TRAINED TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE SYMPTOMS OF BIPOLAR DISORDER would be more correct than a psychologist?

And one more thing, why is it that most depressed girls on the forums, wait, no, most of the girls that THINk they are depressed type like they are mentally retarded? Come on, at least type like you have half a brain so people can take you seriously...

Good point about the typing. But it's just the internet, so who cares. As for the doctor being stupid, he isn't listening to her. He is a doctor yes, a general practologist...Not a trained Psychologist, a doctor is trained to see signs of depression, or anxiety, but they don't have the experience or the direct knowledge that trained psychologists are. I think you think very little of psychologists, they have gone to school directly for disorders and treatments, a doctor goes for a small dose of everything.
~*Freak*~

I think im bipolar...I have mixed feelings whenevr or whatever happens... I also think im worthless....which I AM! Im ugly, not charming, not funny, pathetic....:'(
