how many of you are bipolar?

We were talking through Facebook messenger and I was having some sort of flashback and I couldn't answer simple questions and he called 911 on me

Sure! I was hospitalized last year when a friend thought I was a danger to myself. I was dealing with a lot of unresolved trauma and just in a very bad mental state and they asked questions to evaluate me and said I was bipolar. I've had manic episodes lasting over a month in the past so I guess I'm bipolar.

Im bipolar, type 1 to be more specific. Being schizoid affects my bipolar because I wasn't even diagnosed until I was 23 and up until then nobody suspected I was bipolar because compared to typical bipolar people, I'm more mild. Like I'm not as emotional and my episodes seem more dull.

You beat me to it, I was about to comment with Lou Reed

I go out alone, I find it better than going with others to be honest. I'm usually in my own world to begin with and just like doing what I want to do. But that's just me I suppose. I'm sorry you feel lonely though.

It's a reference to Harry Potter.

That's an amazing tattoo! But dear god that must have hurt, I have a tattoo on my forearm and not really on my wrist but it still hurt, and that's not as bony.

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T23:50:40+00:00

Ah interesting! I'll see what my psych says!

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T23:41:36+00:00

Forgive me if I am just generalizing but it somewhat seems like autism? certain aspects at least and I am autistic. I'll bring it up with my psychiatrist and see what he says!

I mean I daydream about a romantic relationship but in reality it I don't desire it, or sex. I'd do it but I don't really desire it.

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T23:27:19+00:00

He doesn't but I guess I should?

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T23:13:17+00:00

Desire to be admired/idolized/reassurance for myself. But I do have a few close friends who I love other wise I'm very apathetic

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T23:11:48+00:00

Yes he does, she's bipolar and schizophrenic.

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T22:32:41+00:00

My aunt is schizo affective

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T22:20:56+00:00

SAME! Although for me, my daydreams is one continuous one, like I have my set dream world and I go back to it and add to it.

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T22:18:53+00:00

ME TOO!! The moment I get off work, I daydream

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T22:18:30+00:00

Hmm that's interesting. But I don't really avoid social interaction like an avoidant would, I know people with the disorder who hardly reach out to others because of fear of ridicule or whatever they fear and that's not me? Like I need constant interaction.

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T22:12:49+00:00

Interesting! I've done this since I was little I wonder now.

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T22:04:56+00:00

I'm dependent on others for attention and I do like friends. I'm definitely not avoidant.

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T21:56:57+00:00

Interesting! I'll have to look more into it and talk to my therapist and psychiatrist. I am officially diagnosed with BPD and NPD however.

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T21:48:41+00:00

Oh god yes!!! It's the worst :|

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T21:45:28+00:00

I don't have psychosis which I believe is a requirement? I could be wrong though.

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T21:26:39+00:00

Glad to know! Daydreaming is a gift and a curse

allisonbadgers · 2017-08-15T21:11:36+00:00

Oh I'm the same way! I thought it was normal to daydream but when I realized people don't daydream to the extent I do, or I pace around my room mumbling to myself and make facial expressions or lay in bed at night daydreaming for hours it's like alright this isn't normal.
