Bipolar is difficult to diagnose as an illness ... but bipolar symptoms are usually accompanied by extreme changes. What are the symptoms of bipolar disorder?...
am going to try to sum it up as best as possible:
- In 6th grade my parents divorced.my sister and i were pulled in both directions, brain washed, told by both parties what we should say to the judge. basically extremely ugly divorce and they didn't even have money!
- my stepdad always favored my half sister who is his biological daughter. I am not.dont know my real dad.
- 7th grade I didn't have a mom around.
- my step dad was psychically and verbally abusive. When I was 8 or littler he pulled a butcher knife to my throat.
- At around 14 I had a traumatic event. My step dad touched me inappropriately. Long story short went to court was called a liar and all these awful stuff.He was found not guilty.
- had to go live with my mom, which is where the trouble began. was in a new state (basically culture shock i want to say)
- went to middle school than switched school districts and the real trouble began.
on a side note my mom did try to have me talk to a psychologist but i don't know why I refused.
- in 9th grade I had people asking if I was on drugs (which I was not). It was like I was hyper and high all the time.
- couldn't make friends
- couldn't concentrate and my grades slipped really bad. I also couldn't grasp the information.
- 10th grade I slipped into depression and had thoughts of suicide.
- I didn't know how to act around people. I came from the country, not the city.
- switched schools within the school district.
- 11th grade I tried again. I realized I needed help. Especially with learning.I was a failure in math but, I loved it and wanted to learn but couldn't grasp it or concentrate.
- my mom and i started fighting. she told me i was just lazy and i didn't have anything wrong with me. I beg to differ.
- 12th grade year it showed that I didn't have any friends.My grades were bad. I remember I would be tired and I just love to sleep. I could sleep the day away. My baby teeth finally all fell out (at the end of senior year).I had no motivation, I just gave up. I would go home and just cry at times (this has been going on since 9th grade). I missed my horses and my life that involved horses but I could never have that back again. I barely graduated. i heard about college but i felt like i was never given detailed information. like how to apply and things like that. any way my ACT & SAT were so low. I nearly didn't graduate. the math teacher was kind enough to pass me on my final.
- around 11th grade was when my mom started dating and getting serious. I believe when I graduated they got married.and we moved into his house.this is when my mom and i got tensed.the man she married didn't know that I didn't know my real dad and I think there is a lot he doesn't know. This is where just way to much drama happened. basically i got kicked out of the house. I was seeing a guy that later on down the road shouldn't and didn't want to date. but when i got kicked out luckily my mom managed to get me a car.but i had no place to go. NOTHING!this boyfriend at the time took me in and we got into our fights.i had enrolled at the last minute at a community college so this ordeal and schoolwork didnt turn out so well. and my mom wondered why I didn't do so well? my mom and her husband let me live with them again. but i couldn't stop seeing my bf because i was afraid i was going to get kicked out. of course i did again. and i ran back to him. he was a liar and a manipulator. my mom let me come back. i accidentally ran into the curb so now i had no car. there was a lot to this drama but i dont have time to write it.
- had an abortion. this guy was just a fling. this was just horrible!i had NO HELP. my mom was snippy and said its your choice. well i got the abortion only to find out 2 weeks or so my mom was pregnant and we would have been due in the same month. that hurt me so much i still can't forgive her.
- tried to go back to school but I kept failing. and with no car i was always stuck in my room. didn't have friends to hang out. NOTHING!
- I finally joined the Air force but couldn't stand there bs. lasted for about 3 months.
- I went back home and was there for about 2 months and made the random decision to move SEVERAL states away from my mom. no job.but i moved to a different city within the state in which now i am doing a lot better. i have my own place and plan to enroll in 2 classes this fall.
- i have had somebody for the past 3 months who has been able to put up with me. but he has told me i need to go get help. he says i can be so mean and a downright b*.that i am unmotivated.he says I somehow piss people off.
-I still feel hurt and robbed of my high school years. I never got the chance to have those memories and than college ones.I am still unable to make friends. I am tired of living likes this.
Please do not judge! I just need some advice. I plan on calling a psychiatrist to get help and maybe a rehab center would be next.I have never gotten into drugs nor have been an alcoholic!
due to my poor work ethics and unable to keep a job I am now working as an Escort. PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE ME. I actually love it and I am ALWAYS safe about it and take precautions.it shows though i am not good with social skills.
if you have read this THANK YOU SO MUCH! Need all the help I can get.

Hey, that's so strange i am going through the same thing so you are not alone! your past sounds A LOT like mine, i have periods of thinking i may have some kind of mental disorder whether it be bi-polar or something else, as a result of my past, i'm also not good with social skills as i have never had friends, only ones that come and go, and had to leave school at 13, i've always felt robbed of my school/teenage years also as i am nearly 20! I'm not comfortable working in a 'normal' enviroment, i get really panicky and just can't do it! I was thinking of getting into the escort business too, i have been for some time but i just havn't gone through with it properly could you help me on this?
