    I have bi-polar as well. My wife just left me for it. But once you figure our the meds, things will get better. Are you on anything now? If not, get to a doctor as soon as possilble. It's really hard to deal with this without meds.

    But, everything works out. We'll always have high highs and low lows, but with medicine and support, we can live normal lives. Hang in there. You will have a normal life...

    Its not a problem! That's just modern life - it means youre thinking about the way life is and what it means to you - I am not an expert but I have suffered with similar bouts of this. No-one can share exactly what you think about and how you deal with it but I can only suggest you ride the storm and go with the flow. I am not being flippant when I say that these things can provide a positive outcome - I do not believe anyone can be 100% happy all the time but striving to avhieve a higher level of happiness can make you change your lifestyle for the better. I was unemployed for quite a while and people around me found me to be quite negative one moment and positive the next - then I got a job and things looked better I related better - then I got the job I really wanted and nowadays I believe I achieve somewhere near the average level of positivity. Maybe a couple of positive changes in lifestyle will do you good -

    I know this feeling, I have bipolar disorder mixed with intermitent explosive disorder. I always hate feeling the way I do when I get in my moods, I love my calm and patient moods though, I must say I am getting better as time goes on. Thank God for psychiatrist and medications.

    mania is a serious problem, though. people engage in risky behaviour, are more likely to make extremely poor financial decisions, etc.

    its like being on coke without the constant jaw grinding.

    Spooner is right, Im glad I got the help I needed. With my meds my moods are in much better control then they were. I remember back when I almost busted a chair over my fathers head, paceing the floor, laughing one minute, crying the next feeling totally insane, was about ready to cut my wrist. Im what they call a raped cycler. My personality or mood changes very fast with out meds and no kind of stress at all had to happen to make me be that way. It just happened for no reason. They gave me the right meds and im fine now.
