It is a mega serious thing, if you run away from it, it is gonna eat you up inside intil you can’t take it no more and end up doing something silly, believe me, I know from experience what this condition can do to people and it absolutly tore me apart to know that my grandad could have been helped but because no-one took notice of his codition it just ripped him up.

I have Bipolar disorder and have been diagnosed with it 6 years now, it is not a straight forward thing to actually diagnose I had to go through alot of different things first and had to see alot of different people as well as trying alot of different meds before they came to the conclusion it was Bipolar, even when they diagnose you with something like Bipolar disorder they still have to find out what type you have.

Goodluck with it.

Even if you can’t find a group that is specific for bi-polars, go to a support group that has in it people that have emotional problems.

Exercise is also beneficial as it releases endorphins, making you feel good.

Also, there are many online support groups that can assist you as well You can’t diagnose yourself. being bipolar is having mood swings, from depression, to feelings of eurphoria. Is this what you are having? Tell your DR. Good luck! :)
