i am tripolar! No i am not! oh yes i am! what!? AHHH!

Yeah my dad is bipolar and I don't really talk about it cause we were never close before it but when I had to have him committed to mental ward in 2004 when he was 60 I was taking care of his bills and things and found child porn at his home. I have a 19 month old daughter so I'm sure you can understand that I don't want to have anything to do with him. I know it's an illness but my uncles have also made the decision to not have him at their homes. They both have young daughters. As far as his child porn thing we don't know if it's the illness or his preference but I know he and my my divorced when I was 2 and I'm 31 now. My mom said she used to be able to sense things wrong with him but couldn't quite put a finger on it. The only advice I can give you is to do your best to not alienate your family and don't try to hide the illness. Seems my dad had been hiding it for years. Then again my grandfather shot himself infront of my dad so this may have had something to do with it but I don't really know. I can't even talk to him. I have given up trying. If you love your family try to stay close to them for support. My dad hasn't been close to anyone since he and my mom divorced.

I struggled with bipolar for quite a few years and it affected my life in quite a few destructive ways. I went through quite a few different meds which was frustrating but I'm on the right ones now and I'm doing great.

i have severe anxiety disorder and my doctor thinks i may have bipolar. my email address is genler100@yahoo.com it is genler10 not 100 on yahoo messenger..

I have bipolar.
I manage it pretty well now, but it wasn't allways so.
For all the medication and treatment i ever got i found they were relatively inefective.
what worked for me was this, A good diet, lots of exercise and an understanding partner, she has it too and we both know the signs of mania and depression.

I used to feed off the mania, but now i know it as dangerous as the depression.

i know my cure sounds pathetic, but it worked.

I also found massage worked wonders, shiatsu. really made me feel good.

and thats what its all about, keeping level and consistent.

I am also bi-polar and have been for about 12 years.
I have been on the right medication and have a wonderful
doctor who has been with me from the very beginning.
If it were not for family, friends and doctors I don't think
I would be doing as well as I've been doing.
I have also been hospitalized which was not fun at all.
I am a few years younger(41).
