My sister is 30 and she was diagnosed with it when she was a teen, and because of it, I hardly see much of her at all(many years actually). She can't hold jobs and lives shelter to shelter. She goes through many months of depression then it goes away, only to come back another time. She's on medication too but I don't think it helps much. When she goes through her time of depression, she doesn't quite think straight and it can impair her thoughts and decisions. I feel awful for her, cause has she never really done anything great in her life and probably never will.. She's like a drifter in a way.. Bipolar is a horrible disorder.  |

I was having lunch with my friend Peter when he visited here, and in walks this group of ladies with matching uniforms. I noticed later their shirts had the words, "Bi-polar Bowlers" on the backs. I don't know much about it other than my son's dad has it. He has severe mood swings without his meds.  |

That sounds very tough. I hope you are able to cope with her and she gets into some sort of pattern with the medication again...  |

I was diagnosed with this a few months ago...the best way to describe it is like being on a rollercoaster. One second everything is alright and the next you're crying your eyes out or ready to hit something. It's a never-ending battle with your own emotions. I hope this helps you out.  |

She really needs to get back on her meds. If she's of her meds then that would explain the attitude difference drastically.  |

I know of a cuple of people with this and its very serious. Without medicine, their behavior is very bizzare! One lady I know got mad at her husband and drove her car into some gas pumps, luckily she was not hurt and no one else was injured but she tore up the pumps and part of the store. My nephew has it and he is 21. He has just been diagnosed in the last year. He set fires and did some other crazy stuff too. Moods swings are common in both of them but when they are on the medicine, they act normal. Its very devastating but if you think someone has it, they need to get tested so they can get the help they need.  |

Speed, I know alot about this horrible imbalance. Tell your friend to go to www.about.com and type in bipolar disorder, theirs much to learn there. I have a little advice for you, always stand by your friend NO matter what. This disorder is like author 48097 say's, it's like being on a rollercoaster and having no control most of the time. Good Luck  |
