Hello! I have been "diagnosed" with Type II Bipolar Disorder at 27 years old. I have been able to recognize the symptoms and want to learn more about it. I would love to hear from others who have this type of bipolar disorder and how it affects their lives.
Hi,
I was diagnosed with Bipolar at age 21. Unfortunately i jumped around to too many doctors that i didnt get a clear understanding of which type i have, but i willing to share if i may. I am now 23 yrs old and it seems to get worse by each day. My concentraition is horrible sometimes that i, for example, have to ask people to repeat what they said or re-teach me what they were tryning to teach me.
I take Lamical and it helps me get through the day. I am able to do daily chores and do somethings i enjoy, but at certain times of the day i have to rest even though i got 7 to 8 hrs of sleep. But in that i realize that i dont get restfull sleep. I am constanly waking up at night due to snoring from my boyfriend, dreams, sounds from the damn neighbors, and racing thoughts. I cant remeber the last time i had R.E.M sleep. Sometimes i feel like i am in a alternate reality, nothing is real, wired/hyper, and just plain sad.
There times where i am extremley depressed and cry every moment i get, irritable, mean, and evil. I lost interest in alot of things so i stay home. For me this is a challenge that i still shruggle with. Finally i have got a stable therapist and i hope they can help me. Currently i am reading a book called, " The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook." It actually helps me to directly identify what is going with me and how to deal with it at home. I purchased this book at Barnes and Nobles but it should be at any bookstore. I hope this gave you any insite. I keep trying to push on day by day. I wish the best for you always.....
