I believe I was bipolar since 18 yrs old. I was not diagnosed until 2009. I was put on the wrong meds at first. My family through frustration, gave up really. They just didn't know what to do. I tried telling them get educated. Try to understand what triggers a manic or angry episode. For me it was isolation, being in my head and by their actions unwanted. Yes I tried to end my life in July 2010. I was not... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/148537/stability-story http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/130605/agree-eric Tue, 01 Feb 2011 10:13:26 -0500 very bipolar There are very few people posting here anymore and mostly no responses or reinforcement from others going through the same or worse. My life was hell and not much feedback. I have made some friends and talk to them on their blogs. I am not out socially yet or in any support groups. So this was my support. http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/130605/agree-eric http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/130363/changed-choice Sat, 29 Jan 2011 11:35:39 -0500 very bipolar I want to talk about how a husband and daughter can go from love to hate because someone has a mental illness. They never understood or tried to. He called me abusive names and when I got mad and fought back, I was the crazy. I did the flight thing walking whenever to get away when I couldn't take it anymore. I knew when I was in the hospital the first time when he pushed my hand away like he was disgusted and embarrassed, he could not... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/130363/changed-choice http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/127836/year Fri, 31 Dec 2010 15:42:48 -0500 very bipolar This is a harder time for all of us. Some of us are without friends & family that we all miss. I left a very abusive relationship that picked up dramatically when I was diagnosed bipolar 1 in June of 2009. I left in November b-4 I lost it again. I have been hospitalized three times. As most of us know people don't or won't understand that this an illness we never asked for just like any other like cancer, diabetes, kidney... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/127836/year http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/125339/lost-family Sat, 27 Nov 2010 11:11:17 -0500 very bipolar Yes he they live in Lebanon. The doctor I had there is (hailed as the best in the country). I lost 45 lbs and he never checked my lithium level and I became toxic. It took 4 weeks to get level. I left to Michigan for vacation. I am probably not returning, but of course I think of losing my daughter. The doctor had me on invega. I was drooling, lost my close eyesight, could not control my bladder and couldnt do much of anything. I got off... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/125339/lost-family http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/125333/lost-family Sat, 27 Nov 2010 09:57:18 -0500 very bipolar I had 2 episodes since 2009. My husband became after the second and before it very degrading and seem to be trying to get me to lose it. He claims he was frustrated. I admit I got angry and gave it back. Looks like our marriage will end. He lives in a diffent country and has my daughter whom he has turned against me also. I am very upset everday and find it hard to move on. I am in all the free programs Michigan offers. http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/125333/lost-family http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/114896/trouble-mother Fri, 25 Jun 2010 12:25:16 -0400 very bipolar I am very frustrated with this woman. Over the years she has given me so much unwanted advise. She has no business in most things. As I said I was bipolar since twenty but not diagnosed til May 2009. I asked her repeatedly to keep her comments or dislikes about me to herself. The other day she was again going to give me advise. I said no I don't want it anymore. I finally got angry and told her many of the things that she said that upset me over... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/114896/trouble-mother http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/113439/hard-times Sun, 06 Jun 2010 18:51:23 -0400 very bipolar I've been through two very hard days again. I got upset because my daughter was mistreated by a so-called friend. My husband and I argued, it became much bigger about the way he feels about other people. He says he could care less. He only cares for his family only. He is a hater and I don't like it. I could leave, I live abroad, but I will leave alone. My daughter is 13 wants to stay here. My husband did not always talk this way. Just more so... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/553953/113439/hard-times
