what happened to this? what happened to life? why does everyone hate each other? why does everyone hate the people who don't talk? why do friends leave? why do people get abused? does anyone know? is anyone willing to help each other anymore?
i can't wait for this year to end. i will never have to see another soul again.

Bipolar Alternative names
Manic depression; Bipolar affective disorder Definition
Bipolar disorder is characterized by periods of excitability (mania) alternating with periods of depression. The "mood swings" between mania and depression can be very abrupt.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Bipolar disorder results from disturbances in the areas of the brain that regulate mood. During manic periods, a persom with bipolar disorder may be overly impulsive and energetic, with an exaggerated sense of self. The depressed phase brings overwhelming feelings of anxiety, low self-worth, and suicidal thoughts.
There are two primary types of bipolar disorder. People with bipolar disorder I have had at least one fully manic episode with periods of major depression. (In the past, bipolar disorder I was called manic depression.)
People with bipolar disorder II seldom experience full-fledged mania. Instead they experience periods of hypomania (elevated levels of energy and impulsiveness that are not as extreme as the symptoms of mania). These hypomanic periods alternate with episodes of major depression.
A mild form of bipolar disorder called cyclothymia involves periods of hypomania and mild depression, with less severe mood swings. People with bipolar disorder II or cyclothymia may be misdiagnosed as having depression alone.
Bipolar disorder affects men and women equally and usually appears between the ages of 15 and 25. The exact cause is unknown, but it occurs more often in relatives of people with bipolar disorder.
Symptoms
The manic phase may last from days to months and include the following symptoms:
Elevated mood Racing thoughts Hyperactivity Increased energy Lack of self-control Inflated self-esteem (delusions of grandeur, false beliefs in special abilities) Over-involvement in activities Reckless behavior Spending sprees Binge eating, drinking, and/or drug use Sexual promiscuity Impaired judgment Tendency to be easily distracted Little need for sleep Easily agitated or irritated Poor temper control These symptoms of mania are seen with bipolar disorder I. In people with bipolar disorder II, hypomanic episodes involve similar symptoms that are less intense.
The depressed phase of both types of bipolar disorder involves very serious symptoms of major depression:
Persistent sadness Fatigue or listlessness Sleep disturbances Excessive sleepiness Inability to sleep Eating disturbances Loss of appetite and weight loss Overeating and weight gain Loss of self-esteem Feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness and/or guilt Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions Withdrawal from friends Withdrawal from activities that were once enjoyed Persistent thoughts of death There is a high risk of suicide with bipolar disorder. While in either phase, patients may abuse alcohol or other substances, which can worsen the symptoms.
Sometimes there is an overlap between the two phases. Manic and depressive symptoms may occur simultaneously or in quick succession in what is called a mixed state.

| i realized this a while ago |
[05 Feb 2006|04:34pm] |

i'm so glad that more people are realizing that you don't need a gf/bf to be happy and that if can be happy by yourself when you get that gf/bf it's even better.

|
| i wish i could focus on the positive things |
[01 Feb 2006|06:32pm] |
but the truth is: there are 40 things wrong with my body. i know because i counted
and i'm not comfortable 70% of the time and i wish i could read minds even though i know it would be a real self confidence killer
i don't belive in myself and as many times as i try to convince myself that it doesn't matter what you think i know that it matters because i let it matter
how do you do it?

Do you realize that there are no relationships within our own grade? All of the juniors that actually have a boyfriend/girlfriend are dating outside of our grade or outside of our school.
Pathetic?

i would make this entry a comment but that entry was old so the person who posted wouldn't see it. i think you know you are in love when you care about that person so much you put their well being before yours because you know you can't be happy without that person so you would never want anything to happen to them

Hey everyone, hope the weekend's awesome. :)
Anyway, I just got home and I was looking at alot of the eariler entries in this journal. Like the first month it started. Go ahead, go look at the first entries. Look at how supportive this thing was and how we all used to help each other out. I miss it. This was such a great idea and now its turned horrible. Even when one person actually needs some real advice, or discuss something, someone has to be an asshole and make stupid comments. Can't we go back to the way this thing was?
