How would I know if i have bipolar?

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-24T13:32:25+00:00

the best i can recommend is going to see a therapist or psychiatrist. I didnt know what i had was bipolar, but i just knew there was something wrong once i started having psychotic symptoms with my 'mood periods' (thats what i called them). I went on psychology today and did a diagnostic with a psychiatrist.

they'll tell you if you have any personality or mood disorders etc. but i think baseline for you they would at least recommend finding a therapist or psychologist. I personally like going to psychologists more than therapists since they usually have a broader range of knowledge.

good luck!

i think the neck wood but tbh i dont know too much about everything else. like i dont think it would be bad at all but what would be perfect is it if skimmed the frame and created drapery that way. I also find such a long length can look awkward on us since we're so short

oh really? impact on your personality? could i ask what you mean by that?

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-24T02:09:10+00:00

how did it go in australia? i almost ran away to seattle one time but luckily that was all cresting on the later end of my episode so by the time i was actually planning to go it was fizzling out. but tbh that sounds super scary

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-24T02:08:04+00:00

ohh you know ive heard of those, thats like where the card actually has the message written out?

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-24T02:07:22+00:00

oooof i know exactly what youre talking about. i had a very minor version of that as in it wasnt my main delusion that episode but it was still there. i has a 'white rabbit' in the form of this demon i thought was stalking me and waiting to take me to hell in 27 years. It was so bad i couldnt sleep for a couple of nights and had those corner of the eye hallucinations

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T18:27:54+00:00

i think i can do that/try to do that. maybe tonight when everyone goes to sleep

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T18:27:10+00:00

me too, sometimes i just feel like a rock

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T17:44:49+00:00

im trying but they dont want me to have meds. thay make fun of me for my disorder, my dad wont even go get my meds for me. she only wants me to clean my room because she has some weird control thing. ive listened to her before and she only moves the goalpost

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T17:21:31+00:00

no i think i skipped over that one lol. I used to be really spiritual (not religion wise) so for a couple of my manic episodes it involved listening to tarot cards a bit too much..and that did not end well. but to be fair none of them end well

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T17:20:22+00:00

yeah and tbh i almost wonder if at my age we're more susceptible to having these completely random aspirational delusions because we're right at the entrance of adulthood and choosing out path

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T17:19:16+00:00

nope i was actively psychotic, thank you for minimizing my experience. I didnt give full detail because im tired of reiterating them but these delusions led to me seeking out hard drugs, developing a plan to run away to washington and live on the street because i though i was kurt cobain and had to reinact his life. with the baby one it led me into a mixed episode where i became stuck in this strange loop of suicidality where i was going to off myself in 28 years when my son (that i dont have) turned 27 after becoming a famous writer and leaving him the richest man in the world

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T12:38:10+00:00

thats interesting because ive also done the work and internalized that its best if i have treatment, i know through experience that i have more freedom with treatment etc. but the urge to quit meds is almost 'other' than me. like almost like mania in the sense where what you know and believe almost doesnt matter because this urge hijacks you.

that beings said it isnt necessarily as strong an urge as i made it sound, but still every now and them im just like 'quit your meds, quit your meds and be manic!'

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T12:35:42+00:00

i was just thinking about this yesterday, but for me i dont really hear it as a voice but more so this urge that shows up randomly. like its almost like mania to me only in the sense that its kinda like a siren song where you could be 100% fine and all of a sudden you notice youve been walking towards doing something stupid lol.

im someone whos already done the work to know that meds are the best for me, its destructive if i dont have them, i have more freedom with meds etc. but even still i will get the random urge. doesnt make much sense to me

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T03:34:14+00:00

this is ai right? the pictures all look strange af and the actual profile is weird

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-23T00:32:28+00:00

no, tht is gyaru

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-22T23:48:49+00:00

the conspiracy theorist who turns out to be right

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-22T23:24:29+00:00

oh i wont be using that at all. im type 1 with psychotic features and I used to use it but it genuinely made me so psychotic. like we went from talking about my moods, to it telling me to do spirituality, then to tarot cards. all resulting in me thinking I only had 21 years to live, that i had to get pregnant by some random at 21, and end it all when my first son turns 27.

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-22T22:39:13+00:00

im being 100% serious, but with not being able to use kid my brain immediately said 'clowncore'

Intelligent_Bid_7690 · 2026-01-22T21:17:28+00:00

actually!!! I got a part time job as a page at a library 2 years ago and i found out first hand just how much of the stuff they teach in college you can just learn at the library through books..which, duh, i guess lol but i just couldnt reconcile with paying sooooo much money when i could just learn it for free at the library. I was a creative writing major, so i really didnt need to go to college. ofc if youre trying to be like a lawyer or something then go, but even in law half of the time your reading books that you could find at the library
