I wish I didn’t have Bipolar, or Borderline Personality Disorder, I cannot get close to people and can cut people out of my life with no regrets. I hate being so high people think you are on drugs, and I hate being so low you want to end it all. I have a constant crowd noise in my head, it’s never quiet.

hang in there sweetie and find your strength …. somehow i managed to
Yeah. Me, too.
During a regular check-up, I was telling my family doctor about the frustration I feel with people sometimes; not liking loud crowds, etc. After some discussion, he told me I am bipolar and that that was the reason I would drink (I stopped drinking in 1996 and don’t miss it). Well, he gave me a prescription for Depakote and it helps. He said there was no ‘test’ for being bipolar.

The fact that you are aware of these issues and have feelings about them is wonderful. I have family who have these same issues, and refuse to believe there is anything wrong and hurt everyone around them, including me. I admire your ability to have a voice and a face and the desire to be happy. Pray, and keep your head up, and you can make a positive difference in your life.
I have it also,I take medicine for it and it keeps me pretty level
