Feeling Bipolar?


I like to feel that there is truley no "normal". Every person make's life what is it. If your bipolar it can be very difficult to find that mid point. Not being so manic and not being so depressed. Being bipolar you may feel some of the following symptems:

Fell very different that you may usually feel
Your thoughts may be very fast for very slow
Your feeling feel very disturbed
Functioning difficultly
Concentaration difficulty
Feeling irratical


Seeking treatment is your next approach to your illness. It's unfortuate because most people deny being bipolar. When seeking treatment for bipolar, or manic depression or any mental illenss it is a lifetime commitment and many people can't handle the commitment.
