I was diag in 1987, I take lithum twice a day, have minimal probs, have a great life, but the word that scares everybody is “bipolar”. Means the same as “crazy” to most people. I don’t work, not for 12 years. Job gave me dis and pension, and I get SS. Live in my own house. So unfair to be treated as insane, when im highly int. Discrimination is perfectly legal to a Decorated Veteran, just by hearing that word.

my son is bipolar. It is very hard. he is on all kinds of medicine. Wish there was a drug out there that would make his life easier. Just seems like he struggles all the time just to do simply things like read and write.

Every doctor ive went to has told me i dont have bi-polar and they say its all in my head but my family & friends tell me different!!! I can even tell there are some screws lose!!! well thats the way I feel! The doctors have also told me they cant tell if a child has it because there too young!!! That is not true because ive felt like this my whole life!! Sometimes i feel im in a daze (like today!) and feel like something is rong with me and im about to die (like today!)well im about to go to bed and i hope i dont feel like this in the morning!! I just wish it would stop!! I am praying for your little girl and wish her the best!!! Thanks.
