Here I am baby!!!! Right here!!! What's up??!?!!?
I love the humor that you have. I don't think that people should take things so seriously. That's why a lot of unwanted things happen and people find a label to justify their or someone else's wrong doings when the culprit is the devil. I've been diagnosed with Bi-Polar, and I take Risperdal and Zoloft. I have a lot of them symptoms, but I've calmed down a lot since taking the medicine. I've never been in trouble with the law, I was the class Valedictorian, graduated with honors from college, am currently teaching and going to school again, go to church, and about to get married in July. Some people let bi-polar take control of them, but I control it!
Anyway, I'm from Arkansas (USA), It's 10:28 a.m., and the temperature is about 70-some degrees. Right now, I'm feeling fine, thanks! Before my diagnosis, I didn't know what was wrong me. I couldn't stay in a relationship because I was extremely jealous. Plus I cheated on just about everybody I dated. I was extremely insecure. I would also be very happy and constantly running my mouth. My thoughts would race, and I would be enthused in projects that were impossible to complete. Then the next minute or so, I'd be super angry and for no reason. I would accuse my boyfriends of cheating because all these no good thoughts were in my mind. I would punch the walls, throw things, curse--you name it. Then, the next minute, I'd cry and be very depressed. I didn't want to be around anybody, and I'd feel worthless. All this would happen repeatedly in a day's time. I had other signs of bi-polar, but it would take a page to name them.
Anyway, I'm doing great--wonderful. How about yourself? Thanks for this poll! I love your positivity!

Well, I'm in Spain in a small city on the south of the country by the Mediterranean sea, It is 5:10pm and the day is sunny but at the same time it is very cloudy. It's quite hot, we have a temperature of 70 ºF. Right now I'm working and I see the sea from the window's office, I wish I were there at the beach, but I have to work.
I'm not bi-polar but I just want to share.

Hey! Small town outside of the big D, it's about 10:40 a.m. and actually feeling good today.
Regarding a previous poster - uniting is a good thing - it lets people know they are not alone! I'm sorry your daughter went through so much, but it sounds more like you are embarrased that she has this disability! Bi-polar is not WHO she is, it's something she has.

South Florida 2:50, tired :)
To knowitall... my mother stood by me through all my depressions and manic behavior. You should not be posting these things as if you were asahmed of her. You have no idea what it is like on her side. I feel so lucky to have my mom who supported me and helped me at my worst.
Nika: That combination of meds didn't do it for me, it's good to hear that they are helping you. I dont know if anyone else takes Geodon or/and Valpak but thye are my miracle drugs.
Sometimes I feel ashamed of all the things I did and beleived when I was manic, that is the hardest thing for me is getting over that, as well as knowing htat I have to take medication for the rest of my life. Its hard to come to terms with a weakness such as this.
Sometimes I miss the way I felt when I was manic too, but I know it was not a real joy.
This is the firs time I write in something like this.
Have a great day everyone!

Bi-Polar is nothing to unite about. My daughter is living proof of this.
3 arrests, theft,stealing drugs from her cancer stricken grandmother,bad mouth, threatened to kill and has stabbed someone, totaled 3 vehicles not her own, prostituted to get from one place to another, lost her teeth from fighting in a group home for mental patients
But fortunately for her she has rebounded somewhat. Now 26 in Nursing school and doing better on her own with help from ssi. She has lost trust from family, friends and struggles to make it better.
So unite and celebrate something that has turned our normal lives upside down. And letting you know where she lives would probably do you more harm than good. Don't think so.
To Blue fish 7:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Duh!
Of course I am embarrassed and ashamed and willing to die for her. Almost did. So don't lecture those who know better for she does not and obviously nor do you. Stay on your meds maybe then you will get a conscience and be who you are.
To Inballn: I do know what she is going through and has been through,I have been there through most of it when she would allow it. 60.000 in debt because of it. But you would not understand because you are into you at the moment. You owe your mom big time. I just hope you are well enough to realize it.
