You can get through this.

When I was eight my dad divorced my mom he was afraid that she would hurt me or herself I did not realize that she was sick my dad divorced her because he could not help her For many years I thought that my mom being depressed was my fault or my dad’s fault We found out that she had bipolar disorder bipolar causes your behavior to be abnormal or Out of control. One second your much to happy the next you are severely depressed. Bipolar runs in my family and I wondering if one of my kids will be bipolar.

The most dangerous part Of Bipolar disorder is the low that follows the high. My stepbrother is also bipolar so I have seen the Reality of this disease. One night about ten years ago my brother was in a accident and had a minor Collision with someone he had insurance but because of his bipolar disorder he freaked when he saw The police cars and fled the scene he had insurance he was not drinking it would have been nothing But because of his disease he made a bad decision so instead of nothing he got a felony.

If you are bipolar or notice, you have erratic behavior and do not know the reason why get help. It will only get worse if you do not get help. If you need someone to talk, too I understand let me Listen or get someone to listen. Yes, some go through period of minor depression but you should be Able to pull yourself out of it. Bipolar is a deadly disorder if not realized before it is too late. There are many people and places you can go to get help.

Many people live double lives because of this disorder, knowing whom much they want to stop this behavior but without help, it is impossible to stop on your own.

    very well said and so true about the condition – sometimes I don’t know which is worse – being the guy with bipolar or the guy having to watch the bipolar person suffer so?

    I know lots of people with this and they are just anyone else – some are sweet souls which makes them more tender and vulnerable and others are just jerks, only because of the disease it is more pronounced.

    If you are the praying type I certainly have found my prayers help my friends to even out and gain some balance, though the meds are definitely a good idea as well.

    It certainly is a difficult life test for folks to deal with this on either side of the line – just love them as best you can and deep down they know it is true no matter how much their mind gets manic or depressed from time to time. Love is!

    Indeed, bipolar disorder is a deadly illness. But one should show understanding and care to those who are suffering from it. It is at best to add to your prayers people whom you know that got this disorder.
