I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 2 Disorder. Sometimes it is overwhelming in many ways and hard to be humble. I have always been up front,honest and blunt about my thoughts and feelings. But I have also said things that I myself would wonder did I say that? Or wow where did that come from? I hadn't been diagnosed at that time and I started to have a really hard time getting along with people and wondering why especially since I was well liked before. Just couldn't understand what was going on, and began to not like myself, because I couldn't deal with reality any more. I know right from wrong but I can't seem to control either. Yes I have always had a bad temper. But I have to be provoked, and it doesn't take much anymore to provoke me. Example is rude Inconsiderate people. I have a really hard time not telling them they are idiots. I am getting better at refraining from it. Haven't found the right medication cocktail yet but side effects from the medication I am presently on is truly annoying to. But it does help sometimes. It's hard to deal with mood swings. I must say I like the hypo mania much more than the depression.
