Bipolar depression is only half of bipolar disorder … the other half is mania. Without madness, it is not bipolar. Bipolar moods last for weeks or months and only change 2 or 3 times a year …. other causes of mood swings are hormones, stress, sleep loss, hypothyroidism, and a dozen other causes physiques.Chacun has moods like those bipolar disorder ……. because everyone has mood swings, temporary loss of trial, loves shopping, loves sex, sometimes feels down, gets angry now and then and is hyper at times. The difference is that all of these symptoms in bipolar are so intense that they interfere with your ability to function. Think of a pole (BIPOL) with center 0 (0 being normal) and 10 at one end (manic) and -10 to the other (major depression). Most people have swings but stay within 3 to -3. I have a fairly severe bipolar, but since my psychosis is sweet I -9 to 9 …. As the depression that comes and goes is not bipolar, but just the recurrent depression, you must have a mania for it to be bipolar ….. you must go to both ends of the perche.L rapid changes in emotions or get angry or sad is easily not all there is to bipolar. It’s just having emotions. People with bipolar disorder are not only rapidly changing emotions, they go through periods of depression followed by periods of mania or elevated mood. Mood affects everything about you …. your energy level, self-esteem, sleep patterns, appetite, sexuality, emotional response, judgments, etc. …. not just your emotions. And while rapid cycling is possible, it is rare. The average person with bipolar cycles only two or three times a year and moods last for weeks or months. It is considered a fast cycle if they cycle 4 times or more in a bipolar an.Si everyone has a different set of symptoms and severity of different symptoms, that’s what bipolar is like for me : Depression – too tired to get out of bed, shower, even brush my teeth. Cries all the time, sleep 16 hours a day. Feelings of self-loathing and guilt that lead me to think about suicide but I’m too tired to even think about how to go kill myself. It makes you feel small and worthless and totally insignificant. It makes you think of the enormous world is meaningless and how you are in it ….. and he refuses to let you have any ideas right or see all the good things …. when you look in the mirror all you see is the pain, you do not even see you, you do not have the taste of your favorite food more, see the flowers bloom, whether or not the sun came out, you become so foreign that you barely notice your environment ….. You do not even feel love for people more …. Positive thoughts are just not possible …… black hole is a dead end and no light of hope …. and most of all it makes you feel sooooo alone. And even if there was someone who cared about you, they would be better if you kill ……. because all you will never be a burden ……. this can last from weeks to années.Mania – Far too happy! Party Girl! love drink and drugs. Talk soon and pressure because my thoughts are faster than my mouth can not keep up. Hypersexual – as I sleep with strangers and the guys I just met on the internet or I masturbate 10 times a day. Once I was bisexual because there were twice as many people sleep with. down load porn and spend tons of money on sex toys. Spending spree ….. I once spent my money mortgage on African violets, yes, $ 1500 on African violets (and I’m depressed and let them all die). Quit my job because I wanted my vacation pay for lottery tickets and I was so convinced that I would win I started to write business checks and bad because I’d be rich as soon as the figures were drawn . Decided that I could replace the furnace in my house by myself … I mean how hard can it be ….. Only sleep two or maybe three hours per night for months and never feel tired. In the end I was unemployed, $ 30 000 in debt, and had almost lost my house, which needed a new furnace because I removed the old .. or parts anyway. This can last for mois.J ‘ve also mixed states, when I’m depressed and manic at the same time, which are really the worst … By the mind and body are depressed, but there is this underlying energy to run all the time ….. I am very emotional, but emotions tend to be negative (guilt and anger), I have intrusive thoughts and urges to mutilate me (like trying to keep my hands in the garbage or cook on the BBQ) and I also have psychotic episodes where I hallucinate. This is when I am more sensitive to suicide because I am depressed, wanting to hurt me, and I have the mental energy to plan and carry out.
