Is there any other people on here that suffers from bi polar?

You already received some good suggestions, but I just wanted to say that I am Bipolar and my daughter, age 19, is also Bipolar.

I wouldn't be able to manage my depression without counseling and medication.

Here is a website for a Bipolar Support Group that I find very helpful:

I have bipolar 1 and was also recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I have EXTREME mood swings and I was switching daily, even having midday and even as quick as hourly mood changes, but that is all due to the Borderline personality disorder. Now that I'm medicated I feel 100% better!!! There is a Bipolar for Dummies book out that was very good. You can try your local library and check out a few books and find the best one and then later make a purchase. Good luck with the bipolar and don't give up, its a bumpy road!!!!

A book want help! You need some medication or try to deal with it on your own. I have dealt with people with bi- polar disorder for a very long time and a book is defiantly not the answer. There are many prescription that do not have to many side effects and they will help with your mood swings and help you live a more normal life.

Ive had bi polar for a few years now , i found it hard to expect at first, try talking to your doctor they have some really good leaflets and support groups out there, i did a course for suffers and found it a real help most of all sick with ur meds and good luck

I think the wellbutrin is critical to controlling my mood swings. Without it I'd be nuts

go to ABOUT.COM keyword bipolar, if your a youth use juvenile bipolar. you can get everything you ever wanted to know

books dont help me, but i have meds for it and they have really helped
