Hello there, I was not aware that once being diagnosed as being bipolar that this was something that just "went away" or you out grew. I was under the impression that you had to continue meds on a constant level? Hopefully someone out here can enlighten us on this subject. I do know a change in hormones can make your body do FUNKY and abnormal things.

Nor did I. Maybe it was still there. I might have been over looking it. Then again, I was also drinking and doing other things that changed your mind set. So that could have been it. Recently I have been really happy for the first time in a few years. So i quit drinking and doing the other activites. Now that I think about it that could be why I just stopped noticing my bipolar manic depression. Right now I just found out that my parents told my little brother I am a screw up and with the mood that I am in I just really feel like dying NO I will not go to the doctor about it. All they will tell me to do..I am supposed to be selling dogs for my friend who breeds them. She is not a bad breeder she only does it every three heats. She only gets two litters out of each Female dog and three out of each male and then keeps them. She has alot of land and can afford to keep a bunch. But they are not selling (big holidays are normally when EX. Mother's day,Christmas, Valentines day.) Only went in to detail because they are saying that I am a medical question up. I don't drink anymore. I don't do drugs. I don't take pills. Yes I had sex before marriage and they say that that is such a bad thing(which my little brother does also) And he drinks and smokes pot. He also does a few other things that I know of. He is still in school that is the only thing different. I make a bunch of money selling dogs. He does not even have a job I don't ask them for anything.

Hey Sweetie, First of all you ARE NOT a screw up. It is wrong for your parents to compare you to your brohter or anyone else. I remember all too well when I was 18 going on 19. My life was a incredibly mess......WORD! I hit the big 50 this year and have I ever learned lifelessons! As for having occasionaly drinks, I ma all for it. I have smoked pot in my life and done other thigns as well. Not proud of a lot of hte things I have done, but i am proud of the accomplishments I have achieved. Even though I DID NOT live up to the expectations of everyone else....You did grad. high school? Have you ever considered a Technical college? You could still help with the breeder. I myself have seen too many unwanted little animals (without pedigrees) begging for homes at shelters and it breaks my heart...I have a daughter who 23, so I do understand where you are coming from. I think besides the bipolar thing, you are really trying ot discover who you are and your place in life......If at all possible, you should consider continuing your education to learn a trade and use the $ you earn from helping the breeder for fun things. Yep, I am a MOM and I sound like one, but I DO NOT look like one nor, act like one most of the time. I do know I wish I had someone who would have told me the things I am telling you now....but not sure if I would have listened either...Just know you are special and do not allow ANYONE to get you down. If you remember nothing else, remember this.......only YOU allow how to let things said to you effect you..........you have the control over your own feelings.....choose to be happy and choose to live each day asif it were your last! Always here for you!

Thank you i really appreciate someone being here for me.
