Oh what a great day....Or not.

You see i have a bit of a secret i dont go blabbing about. Its that almost everyone in my family is diagnosed with bipolar. And it seems the doc thinks i may also continue this tradition. This....May be a problem. First id have to leave my job. Second id have to spend much more money then i have on the medication. And then theres the whole....Well id be bipolar thing.

It seems if i do indeed end up becoming bipolar i am going to have a hard time ahead of me.

So yeah....Being told you are showing signs of being bipolar...Not fun.

For those of you who dont know what bipolar is. Link

I feel for you, my mum is diagnosed with bipolar...if you do happen to have it, you will be able to cope with time.

Man that sucks. I've never really encountered someone with bipolar, however if it's what I think it is...then everyone at my work has it.

Well, all joking aside, I'm sure it's not all that great to deal with. Someone's husband at my work has bipolar and from what she tells me, yeah...it's not a pretty picture.

So all the best buddy, hopefully everything turns out alright.

@ dancer: Depression, Overly paranoid, Expecting myself to do things i really cant(overconfidence in ones self), Small thoughts of suicide,Lack of sleep, Etc.

Although all of this can be caused by just a string of bad luck IMO. Though the doc says the fact that im showing signs and have a long line of it in my family makes it highly possible.

so basically bipolar is comparable to tourrette syndrome, but with mood swings rather than random yelling?

tourrettes isn't always yelling, some people get the lack of fear, or they will do what they shouldn't do...
