Health - 7 June 2006

I just got diagnosed as being bipolar and I'm having a real hard time with it. Right now I'm very down. I haven't told anybody in my family because they wont understand and will either think I'm crazy or think nothing is really wrong with me. I'm mexican so alot of it has to do with the culture.

I've only told one person, my best friend. I really didn't want to tell her because I didn't want to worry her or burden with this. I've been doing research and people with this disease are not the easiest people to deal with. She wants me to go off on FMLA but I don't know if I can afford to do it financially.

Work is stressful, I'm on call 24/7 so I really don't have a life. And I'm not speaking to my immediate family. I just feel really alone. It's making me think what the rest of my life is going to be like now that I know that I'm bipolar. I'm scared. I don't want to get locked up or put the people that i love through hell.

I know, I'm only 12, but please don't be all, "you are to you to ask this question". It's not like its wrong or anything. I was in the locker room of a pool after being there (we were there for a school field trip, so tons of kids were waiting for the stalls to open because they didn't want to change in front of everyone else like me) and we had to leave THEN or we'd miss the bus. I had to change in front of everyone because we were late! I was the only one, because everyone else would make it into the stalls in time! So i did, but i hated it and people stared and they were all kids from school so soon the whole school will be talking about! We don't even take showers at school or anything, so this was new for everyone, to see me butt naked! And I was the only one! This is where the question comes in: Is it wrong to be embarresed? Do other schools shower and at this age?

I'm in pharmacy school @ Ohio State and just LEFT! I didn't even bother to go to school to drop out, I just stopped attending. I have probably the most stunning 4 year old son on the planet (green eyes, dark skin, curly hair, smart, just perfect), and I have no idea where this has come from. I guess I'm depressed but I'm not sure because I've never felt this way before. I never thought I'd have to turn to medicine for help but I think I might have too because I don't even want to try to feel better. What medications are good. Anyone know anything about St. John's Wart? Do I even need medicine. Please help.

Does anyone know any stretches/exsersizes i can do that help with pain & recovery? I went to the Dr. and I have pain medication, however I have no medical insurance, so an MRI, physical therapy, etc are out of the question.
