I’ve heard that there are onlne support groups for people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness such as depression or bipolar disorder. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. I think an online group might help me relieve some of my feelings of isolation when I am alone. I know that an in-person type of group might be beneficial as well, but I’d like to start slowly.

My boyfriend and I want to have a child. The only thing I’m worried about is whether or not it would end up having depression or being bipolar. I suffer from depression and my boyfriend is bipolar. My mother and younger brother are also bipolar and my mom also has depression. I was told that both are hereditary. So will that mean our child would most likely end up like us?

I’m not planning to take these drugs. The only reason I ask is because I am writing a story and I’d like it to be as accurate as possible. So if you know someone with rapid cycling bipolar or have rapid cycling bipolar, then if you could list the meds they or you take I’d be forever grateful!!!!!

I know someone who is bipolar who gets upset for no reason and I wondered, why do Bipolar people get angry for no reason even if you didnt do anything wrong to piss them off? What is the difference between being bipolar and just being upset in general with having a bad day?

Im bipolar and schizo. I would want a medicine like valium or xanax. Whats a good excuse for it? I need something to calm me down.

i’ve already been diagnosed with severe depression,but i have a lot of signs of being bipolar such as:
severe mood swings
i cant concentrate on anything
i get really high feelings where i feel like nothing can bring me down,but then i’ll just fall back way down deep and want to die
i cant sleep(esp.for the past couple days) or sleep too much
i get really angry and irritable
and sometimes i think way too fast for my own good
but i never seem to have a normal mood its either depression or a really "top of the world" feeling
could this possibly be bipolar?
i’ve stopped taking my pills(seroquel and zoloft) and thats when things got worse

One of my guy friends have it and I was wondering I asked a question about cheating and they said they could have bipolar is this true???
Can you love more then one person when you have it???
I have read so much on it but I there are just things I don’t understand about it…

BF is nice one minute and mean the next. Sometimes is defensive, and I can ask the same question on a Mon get a "normal" answer and on Thursday he flies off the handle. He does smoke pot. Is it the pot, bipolar or just him

I have had a bipolar alcoholic parent for pretty much my entire life. I’m also bipolar which doesn’t make this any easier on me. My parent says some hateful things and is always depressed blaming me and others for problems. I need to know what to do to get through this easier. Please help with some advice. Thank you.

Sometimes i think i am bipolar. i go through constant moodswings. i am happy, then seconds later i am mad, then depressed. I would like to know what the disease is, and what it does.

I am 14.
I used to cut.
I have had suicidal thoughts before.
I don’t know what causes the changes, i am just fine, and then i am mad at my friends for no reason. Then i feel guilty, and then i become depressed.
When i become depressed, i usually stay depressed for about a week.

This has happened about 4 to 5 times since last month.
I have also been having low self esteem for no reason. It seems like people are always mad at me. I sometimes go off on people for no reason.
Also,. i don’t know if this is pointless or not, but i haven’t been sleeping or eating in a while. It is like i am shutting down. I feel like i am crazy. My parents are going to get me checked. But can someone help me understand what it is, and why i have it. (if i do)

I’m a worried girlfriend. My boyfriend struggled with depression before we started dating, he told me all about it when we were getting to know eachother, I to suffered from
Depression and suicidal thoughts and attempts. So I know it doesn’t make him a bad person or anything and I vowed to love him unconditionally. And am dedicated to helping him. He has not tried to commit suicide since we have been dating but everytime he messes up or makes me angry something triggers and he loses it his mind starts racing and he feels worthless and doesn’t want to live because he feels he ruins everyone’s life. That is the only "depress" he suffers from, the fear he is worthless and can’t be the best.. Is this even depression? Help!!

He read a book the other day about bipolar disorder and " self diagnosed " himself and now is terrified something Awful iswrong with him.

does bipolar have anything to do with addictions?

How does people with Bipolar behave?
What are the sypmtoms?
What are they like?
How do you control it?
Will it be permanent?
Any medication?

I am doing this for a research. I’m in the process of getting information about it and any additional information given here would be appreciated! Thank you.

Or bipolar disorder, I suppose, type 1 or 2.
Also, I’m a little fuzzy at what point someone would be having a panic attack vs. very stressed out or "freaking out."
