For me, its a weekly, sometimes daily thing, I get very very low, and then I become really hyper and happy again, and this can happen within minutes, and have no real trigger, although certain things make it worse no doubt.
Bipolar?
(I;m talking majorly sad by the way, to the point that you could cry and do cry, or cut yourself off from people and refuse to answer the phone etc)
I understand what you mean.
It can manifest in many different ways for me. Some days I can't stop crying, some days I'm too numb and empty to cry. I feel crippled to do basic everyday things, even small tasks seem so huge. I feel so lonely and yet wanting to be left alone.
I voted once or twice a week, but it can be a daily thing for me. Some days are worse than others, but it's something that I have to manage every day. I've been suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts since I was 10 years old. I don't think I have bipolar though, but I could have it when I was younger, because I was so out of control when I was younger, lol. Lashing out at people left and right. That's why my parents thought I was possessed by evil spirits and had been taking me to local shamans throughout my childhood. Quite traumatic for me. I hate superstitious people.
I finally convinced my parents to take me to a psychiatrist a few years ago, but I think they still believe that there's no such thing as mental illness, and it's all because the work of the devils. *sigh*
Lots of
to everyone here who's dealing with this. It's something that I wouldn't even wish upon my worst enemy.
