Can you give me factual medical information on bipolar manic depression?
I was diagnosed with this. I take medication to keep at a stable medium mood. But at times my moods drop into severe depression and even suicidal modes. Last night was the first night that every two minutes I delt with a different mood. Happy, crying, panic attacks, self destructive, suicidal, worthlessness, and a medium stable clear headed mood. Every two minutes was a change. I know my stress levels have increased due to factors in my life. When in a stable medium mood I almost feel " normal" . In times like these I think maybe I need to be locked away in a psych facility long term with no people contact and be isolated. My mind runs rapid. My chest feel like it will explode at times. I cant breath. Then I feel worthless and hopeless and unloved and cry. Too much for one person to handle. I take medication. Should I take more? Or a different kind? I am going today back to the doctor for a check up on the bipolar. Do you have any helpful info to help me deal with this battle?

Bipolar, manic depression, what's going on?!?
I know there is something wrong, I haven't been feeling normal for awhile now. At first I thought it could be slight depression, then I thought well maybe it's more just a fear, like the fear of failure, but I've noticed something.For the past month or so, there's only been two settings on my emotions. Depressed, or too much energy. I'm 14 years old, turning 15 this month, a girl, and a freshman in high school. There's been something up, so I'll try to explain it, and I really need help, so any is greatly appreciated.School, life, everything has been getting me down lately. I can't control how things effect me. One bad grade has me spiraling into wanting to be left alone and saying eff you to the world. I hated school, I hated my family, I hated everything. I was always negative, why try when nothing works out. I hid in my room, I barely ever ate and I was a foodaholic , and one day I really screwed it up when I decided I didn't want any friends. I told people to leave me alone and I'm better off without people screwing me over. And all people do is hurt and disappoint you. All in all, things got really bad at one point and I thought it was just slight depression. But what I never got was this. Most of the week I was depressed, no matter how hard I tried to get back into the mood, I was down and didn't feel like talking to people. There was always one day at random in the week that I would be happy. Happy and hyper for no reason. I'm having one of those days today. Last week I had walking and wellness. I felt like I had adrenaline in my veins all school day. So I started running instead of walking it's allowed to run, but you are suppose to briskly walk . I felt so hyper and fidgety. I felt like I couldn't stand walking. Even speed walking felt like slow motion. I needed to break free, to go fast and get rid of all the energy Let me try to describe it. A couple minutes ago I felt like jumping up and down, or running. It feels like I'm being pressed into a box, a very small box, and my energy is bouncing off the walls of it. I feel trapped, I need to break free I'm bouncing off the sides, trying to break free, but the energy is just boiling up and taking up more space. I can't sit still for a minute.My mind runs a million miles per a hour. I feel like I have adhd. It's like " Oh, look over there" " oh god I feel so hyper" " school School in one day" " Ooooh I need to do something Too much energy, need to do something now " " ugh make it stop." " but, there's so much energy, why the heck not " " what am I even doing?" It just keeps running. And then when I feel like this and talk to someone, I say a bunch of random stuff and everything that comes to my mind. God I feel shaky now And then once it stops and I just feel nothing, I wonder, what the heck happened? Why was I even that hyper?Last week I was having one of my " hyper days" on one of the worst days I've ever had. The day was going horrible, and I had every reasonable reason to just be a normal pissed off teenager, yet I couldn't stop feeling so hyped up. I kept telling myself, " calm down, shouldn't you be worrying about that test today?" then I would feel all hyper and think " Nah, hyper hyper hyper, what does the test even mean" and I'd try my hardest to feel the depressed side again, but I couldn't. Someone could tell me my cat died and I'd still feel this giddy false happiness. Then after my hyper day was over, I'd crash. And crash hard for another 6 days or so. Back to the world hating depressed teenager that no one cares about. A kid at school was joking around and called me bipolar. I looked it up and more things are starting to fit. But websites aren't always right, so maybe someone who is or was bipolar could help explain it to me?
I need to know who I can see about getting tested for depression/bipolar (manic depression)?
I need to know who I can see about getting tested for depression bipolar manic depression without a parent or guardian present or notified. I live in Australia and turn 17 in less than a week if that helps. I have been checking on some symptoms and haverealised it's not just myself bing moody I don't think what I feel can be classified as just a hormonal moody teenager anymore when I have been feeling these symptoms for over a year. My parents wouldn't believe me, or go ahead with anything. I told my mother and she bought me St. John's Wort insead, which does nothing. can you help me please?
I am bipolar (manic depression) and am taking lamictal and just started to take Invega for depression.?
I have reworded a question I asked last week to make it a bit more clearer. Unfortunately I was unable to get any good answers because I probably did not explain exactly what my condition is.Has anyone that is bipolar manic depression ever been on the combo of Lamictal for manic depression and Invega which helps with depression that creeps up while on Lamictal?
Am I bipolar (manic depression)?
I can't control my emotions. It doesn't matter if my life is going good or bad, I'll either be freakishly happy and hyper, or so depressed and lonely that I even start to wonder what would happen if I killed myself. And yes, I feel this way for pretty much no reason. It changes about every week. I'm either super happy and feel like im on top of the world and unstoppable, and my self esteem is really high also. The other " pole" is depression. I feel like commiting suicide and i don't talk to anyone, getting through the school day is exhausting because I just want to go home and be alone, by myself, and hope i feel better the next day.The point is, these moods come and go frequently and I'm afraid of my happiness, or even when im content and calm like right now because depression always follows. I can't control my feelings whatsoever. I think I'm bipolar, but not positive. Advice?
Could I be bipolar? Manic depression? Separation Anxiety?
Ok, so I'm not sure weather I have a serious issue or if I'm just over reacting.With some people, they'll leave and from the moment they're not by my side till the next time we see each other, I can't stop thinking about them, worrying about what they're doing, wishing they were with me. If I don't see them for more than a few days I start getting all these weird thoughts in my head, stuff like " Oh, well, it doesn't matter anyway, it's not like I'm that big of a deal" or I start thinking that I'm really not necessary for that person and I get really stressed out and upset because I feel completely alone and unneeded.With other people I won't see them for weeks and then all of a sudden I have to see them or else I freak out until I do.The reason for the three disorders in my question Bipolar Manic depression I talked to my friends cousin who is diagnosed with being bipolar. I threw out that I sort of thought I could be bipolar and she said that the way it works with her is one minute she's way happy, and the next she's really depressed.That's the way I am, only instead of minutes, it's more like hours or days. Either I'm really happy and optimistic or I feel like useless shit.Threw research I found that also kind of sounded like manic depression.Separation Anxiety Because a good portion of the time, these mood swings originate around people and their presence or lack there of, I thought it could be separation anxiety.I'll also throw out there I'm a 15 year old girl. Maybe it's only hormones?But it doesn't only happen when I'm on my period. It's all the time.Any ideas?
