While some of you have no doubt seen this for a while now, sadly I did not. I honestly didn't really even know what bipolar was... but I do now. And it explains a helluva lot about the way I act and feel and think and the stupid shit I sometimes do.
Anyway... I took some basic tests today, and it's fully there in all it's ugly glory. "Circular Insanity". I don't know what's next, but I imagine it will involve Lithium.
Being made aware of this today, I can only look back on some of the stupid shit I've done, and come to understand why everyone must think I'm insane. Because it turns out that I am.
I'm fully on the depression downside of it right now. But at least now I know. Hopefully I can finally get some meds or something to end the madness that is in my head.
I haven't had a chance to read all of the other thread yet, I just got back.... but I will, and I'll contact some of you guys tomorrow. I appreciate all the offers to help from you guys.... I really do.

I don't know who you saw that provided a diagnosis of Bipolar Manic Depressive in a single visit but to make a definitive diagnosis of this import on a single visit is not the norm. None the less it is reasonably apparent that you do have a problem that requires professional guidance. Find someone competent and follow their advice to the T. As far as meds go...Boneprone is correct when he says that meds can correct what is basically a chemical iimbalance. There are various meds and what works for one may not work for another...in addition it takes time...sometimes a great deal of time to find the proper medication in the proper dosage. It is not as simple as popping a pill and all is better. There are going to be some bumps and you will have the urge to say fuck it and this is one thing that you should not do. Drinking is something that you should not do...period. Anyhow good luck too you.
