I Am Bipolar and Take Medication

it is the hardest thing ever to live with this condition. no one undertands what you´re going through (if you don´t know why you´re doing things and feeling things most of the time, how can others?).. both my parents were bipolar...

I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 disorder nearly a year ago, though I knew I had it long before then. Years ago, I saw an episode of "True Life" on MTV called "True Life: I'm Bipolar" & I knew after...

I asked my social worker, if I had a better childhood would I still be bipolar. He said yes.

Good morning, all.

It's 3am where I am and I'm restless and uncomfortable in bed. I know it's the drugs. I'm new to meds - at the end of my second week of Lithium and Zoloft combo. I can't say it isn't doing its job as it's been only...

Damn.. today is a low day... depression unfurls its dark leathery wings around me squeezing away all the memories of the happy times.
the meds help it not to take me into the deep abyss. I stay afloat but it feels like a being on...

I've been diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder for about 2 and 1/2 years now, and the road I had to take to finally get an answer was quite bumpy and extremely long.

I'm on Lithium and Fluoxetine (prozac). Before the prozac I was on Citalopram but it really didn't agree with me, it made me feel confused and lathargic. The prozac seems to work better but it'sstill early days yet...... I guess I'll...

I have tried sooo many anti-depressant drugs and of course most, if not all, have been SSRI or "SSRI combo" drugs (like Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, etc) and I have yet to find one that 1) consistently works and 2) doesnt make me...

H ey guys, I am a grad student who is trying to create a public campaign to make people understand bipolar syndrome and people who have it better in order to eliminate/fight with the stigma.

I take medication, not sure if it works or not any more. I am depressed about a lot of things, one of them is that I don't get the highs anymore, funny but I miss being able to think I could do things.
I am not sexually active anymore...

I am super sensitive to everything people say. "Get out of my room" "Calm Down" all set me off. i then go in my room and listen to my music to try and stop from either exploding in anger or tears. It is such a hard thing to live with...
