Confirmation??

Question

At times i feel confident that i can handle my problems well n that i don't need anybody (even though i can see myself making them worse).. N den all of a sudden a time comes when i'm actually craving for people, find myself wanting n in need of someone. Then there are times when i completely withdraw myself, get all clammed up, cut myself off from everything.. N ofcourse there are times when i'm wallowing in self-disgust n the works.. All this because i've turned myself into a reticent monster, keeping a torrent of emotions locked deep in the heart.. N now it's all getting too strenous to handle.. i think i might be suffering from bipolar.. But i'd really like to hear from someone who's been through all this to shed some light and help me..

Because i've been finding it difficult to open up n talk to family, even my bestest buddies, i've been keepin a diary n writing down things in it.. But it's helping me only just. Momentary relief..

I do not have Bi-Polar but what I can recommend is some time away from people you know. Sometimes you just need to get away and that is ok. Sometimes you do not want to be around people and why does this have to be Bi-Polar? You may just be normal hon. If you feel like you may have some symptomes then you can find help anywhere. Go see a professional and get it confirmed. Sometimes you just would like to talk to someone who does not know you to judge you and have lingering thoughts in the back of their head and that is ok. Go see a doctor and take it from there and then take a long two week vacation somewhere serene or whatever you are into and have fun alone. Maybe you will find yourself. Take care!! Keep writing. Although you may think it is temporary it is still allowing you to release these feelings.

Firstly, you must go see your doctor, they are the only ones who can truthfully tell you what you might be suffering from. With regards to your symptoms I can 100% relate to them. I've been suffering from anxiety since December.

I'd had some health worries up until that point and one even while watching TV I experienced what I can assume was a panic attack. Felt very dizzy and not with it. The fear of these attacks created anxiety which then fuelled my attacks and also brought to light a lot of what was worrying me about my life but that I had previously coped with fine.

This like you includes feelings of not being confident or needing people around me when feeling alone. To me it sounds like you have naxiety and maybe depression, their both linked. I think talking to someone will help you greatly, if you keep things locked away inside you I think you can mentally make things worse for yourself without even knowing.

A doctor can prescribe you medication if you need it, these will take the edge off of your symptoms and allow you to think forwards. Relaxation helps such as Yoga, meditation or breathing excersises.

I also found writing things down help, its a way of getting things off your chest and you can also show this to your doctors, friends or fmaily and they will be bale to help you.

Rest assured your not alone in anxiety :)

I went through alot of that, and was diagnosed bi-polar. I had the symptoms but it turned out to be a medical reason causeing them. I still remember what it felt like though. I would get giddy happy excited, just bouncing off the walls. Then turn around and be hopeless sitting in a dark closet planning the way I was going to kill myself and when because nothing was ever gonna get better. Its hell, it really is. And you feel like you don't fit in, because you have such emotional outburst. Zyprexa helped me for a while, but there are other things that can help. But before all that you really need to talk to a pshyciatrist for a proper dianosis, and a therapist to work on things, because talk therapy helps too. Don't worry alot of people struggle with this, but there is help. :)
