I don't want my sweet friend to be bored.. ( Philippa, send me the check later!). LOL
I really do have a question about Bipolar and mania.
When my dad got maniac it included going days and days without sleep- spending money he did not have- feeling on top of the world- super excited about life-- feeling like God was his best friend.
This would often last for months. Then he would hit his depressed state which meant for him- drug abuse- stopping church- no more love for God- life is awful, etc..
I am trying to figure out my pattern here but my cycles are coming daily- my dad's came every 3-4 months.
I am not nearly as predictable. I can feel pretty normal one minute, completey anxious and agitated the next, and then utterly depressed.
My cycles aren't nearly as fun (geez!), and they don't last nearly as long.
So is my bipolar just obviously competely different than my father's? Or is mine just on super warp speed?Only mine leaves out the euphoria stuff too.
If I have to be manic, can't I at least get the good kind?
LOL
