when i was 8 my mother decided to be an irresponsible adult and left me and my older 1/2 sister behind with our dads. when i found out she was gone and she wasnt coming back, i didnt know what to do...suddenly my sister noticed a behavior change in me. i used to be this happy kid who loved to do everything under the sun, but when this happened, i started to do poorly in school...because i didnt want to do good, i chose who my friends where, but sometimes out of nowhere i would say screw them and not be friends with them anymore.and i remember getting angry at almost anything for no reason....now as an adult i still have a hard time accepting what my mother did...come to find out she is going to be moving back down here in the same city again, and i just dont want this to happen. sometimes when i am in a normal, happy easy going mood, all of a sudden it would just.....change, out of nowhere...i dont know why i get so angry, or how. i feel like i have all this rage and hatred in me...

and i dont know how to get it all out. i told my dad about this and he has even seen it for himself. i start throwing things, punching walls and making holes in doors, i scratch myself up to the point that i am bleeding, im not suicidle...i just cant control it. but once i calm down from this i feel bad in what i have done and i know that i have done a bad thing. but when i have an episode, i could care less. i asked my dad if i could see a psychologist or psyciatrist to help cope with this problem....is there anything i can do for myself the next time this happens?

darlin, sounds like you have alot of anger built up inside you for what has happened to you in your life and I don't blame you. But you need to forgive (I didn't say forget) you anger is turning into bitterness and yes, this can lead to depression which can lead to bipolar disorder, I have a bipolar disorder. you know bipolar stems from Manic depression right? alot of what you have said sounds like that could be your trouble. I feel and do the same things sometimes. You need to talk sometime give me an IM if you like. You are not born with this you do not get it from your family. and yes I agree you need to see a professional somehow somewhere for you can get to the point you want to end it I did. Another thing you can do is pray pray father god will help you alot. That is what I do and I am on no kind medication at this time.

My daughter wuz suicidal when she wuz younger and done everything under the sun, including everything ur talking about and 2 be honest it's gonna be hard 2 do it on ur own, however if u have 2 the best advice I can tell u is 2 try and keep busy and what really would help a whole lot is u need 2 confront ur mom, she may not except what u have 2 say, but u say it 2 her weather or not she likes it and u will feel alot come off ur shoulders u will be surprise how u feel. If u don't have Insurance that's k cuz there r alot of places that will except people w/out insurance. If u can call information (411) and ask them for an information and referral line. Call them and they will refer u 2 places that will take u without any insurance, but u have 2 let them know when u call u don't have insurance, so they give u the rt info. I hope this helped. If by all means u need me 2 help u w/anything u can e-mail me.

Dear Shortli,
Hope you don't mind me shortening your name. I don't think that you are bi-polar. I have been bi-plolar for 40 years, and I just don't think you demonstrate characteristics of manic-depression (bi-polar illness). I do believe that you need to see a psychiatrist because you do have, in my opinion, a condition which only a psychiatrist could address and help you. There is little that you can do yourself, other than try to exert self control, but likely you will need medication, as well as therapy, to help you stay normal more of the time. Believe me, you do need help and only professional help will do. Your recognizing all that you do about yourself will be your first step towards getting the control you want. God bless you.

I think bi polar is something you inherit from your family I dont think you can really develop it. However you can develop things like deppression and post traumatic stress disorder. Or manic deppressive disorder who knows maybe your mother had some kind of bi polar disorder which caused her to do the things she did like abandon you and your sister.

I'm pretty sure bipolar disorder is something you are born with. It's probably PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

I've had a problem close to yours. I'm sure it does do something to your mood. You have to just forget about things.
