Hi
I think I might be bipola, I was diagnosed with depression when I was about 22, I became extreamly depressed where I tried several times to kill myself with tablets with only once needing an ambulance I also use to self harm. I received the coucelling and anti depression drugs etc, so for the last 10 years I have had my ups and downs but most recently I decided to give up smoking and asked to have champix tablets to help me give up smoking, after a few weeks of taking them my moods started to change, i became very tired, didnt want to do anything which i had to force myself to do things, i would snap at the smallest and sillest thing so i stopped taking the tablets about 6 weeks ago now but my moods seem to be getting worse one minute i am fine and doing spring cleaning ironing and so on and then all of a sudden my mood will change. i get paid and go and spend it instead of paying bills, i find it difficult to sleep at night i snap really quickly and one minute i will be sitting there and the next i will be crying. i really need some advice as i am going out of my mind and i am starting to scare my self with my moods only an hour ago i was in kfc with my partner and i asked for the chicken to be all legs and she came over and gave us thighs so i told her that we wanted legs and i also order a pot of beans and when we sat down i discovered it was gravy so i had to send my partner back to the counter to change it because i was just so so angry.
I really dont know what to do because i have just found out that my brother and cousin both have been diognosed with bipola and i know it runs though families.
Thank you for listening.
Little Lou.

It can't hurt to get checked out as it is difficult to get better if you don't know what you are up against.

Linz, I have bipolar disorder. It is so hard. I'll be up at 4am when I should be sleeping for work, organizing my closet because I can't get it off my mind. Its scary, it's lonley and it's down right terrifying at times. Sometimes it feels like death is your only escape. But you just have to look for the small things in life that give you a reason to hold on just a little longer. Not everyone is going to understand your mental illness, not everyone is going to believe you. You should NEVER feel the need to prove to others you have it. If other people look at me differently there are days I think so what? Then other days it feels like the end of the world. You made a statment that you didn't want to be that person in your family with mental illness. Haha well that's me and my family. I love my family, but sometimes it makes me wonder if they truly understand my mental illness and accept it. People are going to have harsh things to say! I try to ignore that. None of us want to be bipolar but it's very common close to 5 million people have it. Crazy right? Unfair maybe. But who are we to disagree with what God chose right? Idk just know you're not in this fight alone.
