Answer 1

We are not here to diagnose anyone. At answers we can advise you. My advice *go see a doctor*.

Answer 2

I looked at your previous questions, and they definitely reflect depression but there is nothing to indicate a bi-polar illness, although i'm not sure it would show up in your questions. A bi-polar illness typically has a manic phase to it. In a manic phase, you would feel like you were operating in high gear and you can't slow down. Talking too much or too loudly, slightly out of control, and feeling super great, as if you are on some sort of amphetamine.

Depression just feels empty or feels like nothing, and it may come and go while feeling normal in between. Its probably not real important to put a label on the problem - the main thing is to put something into motion to get it solved. Depression is fairly easy to get under control for most people, through antidepressants, therapy, or a combination of both. So, you don't have to be depressed - visit your family doc., or some other person you can talk to.

Answer 3

Bi-polar is a fluctuation between two moods, manic (feeling very high and on the go) and depression (sad mood, sometimes associated with suicidal ideation). There are times when someone with bipolar feels quite normal, between their manic and bi-polar stages. A normal person has the usual ups and downs, but a person with bi-polar experiences the extreme ups and downs. Many people with bi-polar need medication because they tend to make impulsive decisions during their manic phases, such as substance abuse. If you have schizophrenia with a mood disorder, such as bi-polar, it is called schizoaffective disorder. Hope this helps out.

Answer 4

Hey tasha,

Well, the short answer to that one is yes.

Did you know that you don't have to go on living like this, poor baby you must be totally miserable. You need to get yourself a real person to talk to, not just us out in the www. I feel sooooooo much for you. I was diagnosed bipolar/schizophrenic 4 years ago and thankfully for the past 2 years life's been relatively smooth. You just need to get on some meds to settle your manic depressive moods(bipolar). It's a known fact that suicide is a really high risk factor with the socially inept (mentally ill sounds so an*l so I renamed it). Good thing though is that a rather large percentage of bipolar sufferers are those of us in the higher intelligence bracket. Spose that little tit bit explains an awful lot for you !!! People around you really love you babe. Mum, Dad, brothers, sisters, family???? No matter how isolated you think you are believe me they must all be frantic about you. Don't shut them out, pleeeeeease???? Be nice to yourself. Get to the Doctors and tell him wot you told us and watch him quickly get the ball rolling!! Stop beating yourself up about every little thing, the mind is an extremely powerfull entity. You are a precious special girl, not another like you on the planet. Once your brain chemicals are normalised you'll know it too. That's wot the Bipolar mainly does I reckon. Makes us come down really hard on ourselves all the time. You know, the constant guilt trips, wot ifs and I'm so sorrys when in actual fact its apparently a gross exaggeration on our part!!! Go Go Go. There's so much help out there 4 you, I'm so proud of you for taking the first step. You've acknowledged you need help, follow it through. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease.



PEACE
