Oh man!! I can't say I know anyone with that disoder, but I am very sorry about what u are going through! Hang in there though, lifes tough as you know it, and it sounds like u have it tougher then most of us here! Just don't do anything stupid if you know what I mean, don't let yourself get to that level!

I hope the best for you and I really hope you come a long some more! You have my paryers!

 

One of my neighbors has this disorder. I think they treat it with meds. Although I am of no help I have seen what they deal with and it is rough. Go see the doctor for it man.

Best of luck to you.

 

Peacemaker....although I dont have any experience with what you described, I do want to tell you this...I myself keep things bottled up inside, I just hate to bother people with my problems, but if nothing else this place helps me just say what I want, when I want. You will most likely never see any of us in person, so really who cares if someone has something ignorant to say to you, just delete it or skip over it. If you have something on your mind, let it out man. With all the people on here im sure someone will have some sort of help or answer for you sooner or later. Or at least help guide you in the right direction. It must be hard to go thru what you do day after day, I feel for you. My advice is just go see the doctor, hes not gonna laugh at you, or make fun of you, if thats what your worried about. Hes there to help you, and you've already said you need the help. Just do it man, i'm sure he can figure it out for you and get you on the right track. Dont ever feel bad about typing stuff here to tell us how you feel or whats on your mind. This is like our own little family here and its awesome. Sometimes it helps me get thru my day, when things arent going so well for me. I am by no means a doctor or a therapist, but I have been told im a good listener and give good advice, so if you ever need to talk, and dont want to do it here, just email me. My address is in my profile. Hang in there bud, nothing is ever so bad that theres not a fix for it or no way out, just need to figure out who you need to talk to and what needs to be done to help your situation.

Well not for nothing, but it is YOUR life, YOUR issue, YOUR problem to deal with and YOUR thread, so post away and use I, ME, MINE all you want, this ones all about you brother.

 

Peace-

Man, I am right there with you. I started a thread a few months ago about something similar to this. I had a hard time dealing with some things that were going on with me, and I was really confused, scared and angry. I think the hardest thing for me was feeling that everyone else was able to deal with their issues, and I couldn't. I was sure that everyone out there had the same or worse problems, but they were humming along just fine, and that I was a screw up for not being able to handle the smallest thing.

The meds will help out A LITTLE, but let me recommend something else to you...

Talk to your Dr. about group therapy.

I am not ashamed to admit it now, but I went through some pretty rigorous therapy a few months ago, and it helped TREMENDOUSLY! I DID NOT WANT TO DO IT at first, and thought I had lost my mind when my Dr. recommended it to me. I laughed at her. Now, I would tell anyone and everyone to give it a try.

I think that "Group Therapy" has a really bad name. I couldn't stand to use the term because I thought that people would think I was crazy for going to "group therapy". I couldn't give two *****s now what anyone thinks of it...it helped me more than anything in the world, and it is the main reason I am here today to tell you about it. If someone out there is immature enough to snicker at the fact that you go to self help sessions, they are not laughing at you...they are laughing to hide their ignorance. Hollywood gives a bad name to group help...it's not anything like what you see in the movies, or what the person unfamiliar with group help thinks. All it is, is a group of 4 or 5, sometimes 10 or 12, people sitting around talking. You rarely do more than just plain old talk! In fact...this board is similar to group help. People come here and b!tch about a problem, let their emotions fly about the punk in traffic this morning, or gripe about their neighbor's grass being too tall.

I am not going to go in detail about what the Doc's diagnosed me with, or the meds that I tried, just know that I have been RIGHT where you are. It's odd that you mention the head injury...there were meds that I couldn't try because of a head injury I had as a Freshman in college.

I could seriously type on and on about this, but I think this is enough for one post.

Peace, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I will listen to whatever you want to talk about.

i have to admit...it takes a lottoballzzz to discuss this here...i at times find myself dealing with the same symptoms...i blame it on too many hockey games(yes i was damn good) and i have been "hit on the head" too many times....but ...i try to not to let it bother me...it dont stop me from drumming(great therapy) and doing whatever i have to do to "get over it"...no.. no doctors..anything like that ...just what makes you happy will get you by...heal bro heal...zap!

 

I too used to bottle up my emotions and suffered from deep depression. I did stuff that when i look back at it i feel embarrassed about it and have told no one about it. I ended up getting help, which at the time i didn't want it, with a psychologist. After a few months i felt a lot better. Now I'm back to normal. If i feel things are getting to me, i just remember that whatever happens, nothing is worth worrying about because in the end if you have nothing you will still have family who will take care of you and support you. I still bottle stuff up but, It doesn't effect me like it used too.
I hope you get some help and find out whats wrong.

i would'nt say i'm "unhappy" but nowadayzzze i look on the brighter side of life...it all could be much worse my friend...we all have these "demons" in our heads...dont let them get the best of you....you (and the rest of us) are better than that... so..kik'em in the teeth and carry on with your head held high...no matter what it takes to get "high" ...zap!

 

Ill preface this with the only reason I know this is from helping an ex girlfriend with psycology homework....

What most people dont know about bi polar disorder is that people that have it dont go from one extreme to the other much. Once a year is concidered alot, and its a gradual change also, it dosent happen overnight.
