I feel like I am up AND down at the same time. I want to remarry again because being single sucks, but I really don't care if I ever have a man in my life again. How can it be possible to want to go NOW and buy a car, but have not energy or initiative to do it. I want to take my dog to the park and play but I end up in my recliner. Nothing makes me better.

It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway, Van Gogh ... Robert Schumann has been mentioned ... Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath ... some of them with rather grim ends. -- Stephen Fry

My advice is worth what you paid for it – nothing! Previous discussions I participated in: mood swings Academically sound????? Brief Psychotic Episode or rapid cycling Bipolar 1

Been there, extremist. One minute I'm upset. Then the next I'm hyper or angry. It's like I want to do a particular thing, but can't get myself to do it most times, I just blow it off.

Sincerely,
Chris, 43

can these mood swings having to do with, not being able to make a stressful decision, the argument of pros and cons, i argue with myself all the time, or is it who we argue with inside of our heads. them . me, myself, and i ,, beat everything to dead, analysis of is it good for me or bad. not wanting to take chance because of trust.

Iken,

I beat everything to death on most days and make every excuse not to do something in particular that needs to be done. It's almost like being paralyzed in my brain. Don't want to do anything. Its the emotional roller coaster that gets me trapped. There other days where focus is the key and I can functional normally (normal to me).
