***Bipolar

In my last post up. I came across this word Bipolar...new in my vocab...check out what it says...
What is Bipolar?


  • Everyone has feelings of happiness and sadness once in a while. Feeling high and feeling low are part of life.
  • But for someone with bipolar (sometimes called manic depression), these feelings can be extreme. A person’s mood can alternate between the "poles" - mania (highs) and depression (lows).
  • Bipolar is known as manic depression because this change in mood or "mood swing" can last for hours, days, weeks or months. Every time you experience symptoms at one pole for at least 1 week, it is called an episode. Experiencing 4 or more episodes of mania and/or depression in a year is called rapid-cycling bipolar disorder.

This is interesting fact....can someone really be like this?

Any bipolar can tell you this fact: We're fun, exciting, euphoric, cheerful, inquisitive, experimental, and sometimes annoying as all hell. One moment we are the life of the party and the next beating ourselves in penitence. We make for true friends who may be the biggest pain in the butt you have ever met when we are not taking their meds.
