What Would You Do If A Good Friend Tried Committing Suicide?

Bi-Polar disorder can be treated with Medication.

Study up on it if you give a shit, Yaya.

If this is yet another load of shit, I have some lithium I'll be happy to send your way :)
 
And speaking of people who are bi-polar, how are you doing yoyoputz?

I am not so sure if bi is enough for yaya, raw. Is there anything called quatro-polar?
 
Well, I'd say that he suffers from multiple personality disorder, but that would imply that he has a personality.

:D

DCL, your pic didn't work.
 
oh raw, ya know he has at least one (or more) personality, even if it has all the charm of an butt pimple.

Sorry. If it's showing up on yours, it's just because it's still in your computer's memory. Try quitting your browser and then coming back.

You'll see.

Or a hemorrhoid.

Oh, NOW I see it!
 
Okay, so I'm not "bipolar" but I do have some chemical imbalances that I take meds for. (please limit the teasing, people)

When I tried to commit suicide a friend of mine called the police, first of all, which probably saved my life. They came over and talked me out of my depression, and then called some specialists to come over and talk to me.

I think if you have a friend as down as that, try to stay with them as much as possible. Don't make them (and i say make them because depressed people usually really really don't want to be alone but won't say it) be alone. Take him/her out places, or just hang out. talk. stuff like that. let them know you care.

Chicklet, I don't think that any of us would tease someone for having a medical condition like yours.

But we won't let a Yaya thread burn anyone else the way so many have in the past.
 
Unfortunately Chicklet, Yayati is most likely blowing smoke up our asses.

I am bi-polar. If it was someone who actually had a valid concern I'd post something helpful.
 
Angel, did you see the documentary on Bi-polarism on MTV? Considering the source I wasn't sure if it was acurate, but it seemed informative.

I'm still not sure what the difference is between Bi-polarism and Manic Depression though.

No, I didn't see it. I'm without cable, remember ;)


Bi-polar disorder and manic-depressive disorder are the same thing.

Nope, my mother thought I was just a horrible child. PM away, I'll be online for a few hours til I go to work.

See? I didn't know that. A roommate I had breifly in college told me she was bi-polar, but I never saw her acting manic or seriously depressed. But then, I didn't live with her very long.

The doc I saw followed the lives of a few people and one was a teeage boy. Oh my God, the things that child said and did to his parents was unbelievable, and this was after treatment. I think it must be frightening as hell to be trapped in his mind.

I was really, severely depressed. I had a few episodes of mania, but they were very few and far between. When I had them though, they were incredibly frightening. It would last anywhere from two weeks to over a month.

The common misconception is that mania = strongly elevated moods or being hyper but its not true at all.

My manic periods were of severe irritability, I was very unstable, I had terrible insomnia, and excess energy that I literally went crazy trying to burn off. I couldn't do what I was supposed to do at work, and I couldn't be around people when I was like that, not because I was concerned with how they saw my behavior, but because being around all of that activity made it that much worse.


I also had two episodes of hypomania, which is the same thing only in briefer periods (Mine were for 1 or 2 days at a time.)

They were almost scarier than the depression.

It is much worse during the teen years, imagine all of the shit a normal child deals with mentally and physically through puberty, topped off with Depression and Periods of Mania.
