Thanks for your reply. I will be keeping an eye on my daughter for sure!! I was diagnosed with "depression" due to supposed circumstances from the age of 25 but it took almost 20 years of recurrent bouts, counselors, doctors, and a catalogue of events to be properly diagnosed as BP. I get very depressed and can also get very high(in a silly,mad way) and can be both at once, if you can imagine that. Right now I am in the high side as on AD and nothing else (until I see my psychiatrist again). This was after 12 months on the low end and taking anti psychotic meds. It is very very hard to get a happy medium.
I would rather be high than low but it mucks up your life (and work) as people think you are mad. My daughter said last night I was acting like I was "tipsy" and I got upset as I gave up alcohol 2 and a half years ago (and went through hell with her attitude when I used to drink).
I really must go and do the dishes, make beds etc. will b bk later.

20 years? I might sounds surprised, but I shouldn't be with the healthcare professionals i've seen.

Britney has just been diagnosed with Severe BP, so am now more armed with knowledge!

Anyway, speak soon and hope you stay 'high' as long as possible

Hi Everyone

Some progress here, Mum is a little more mobile which is making life a bit easier. Also fixed her an appointment with her regular GP to discuss getting an MRI so we can get a full picture (sic) and know whether this is a one off or something to be always mindful of.

I'm feeling quite good in myself which is a pleasant change. Done so many things I couldn't do before in terms of getting out and about which is a nice feeling.

!!{hugs}} to everyone who needs them!

As I thought! I am surprised she has not been diagnosed before now, being on such public display and showing such clear signs of Mania. I hope she gets the right help. People who are BP tend to become addicts and abuse alcohol and drugs and feel they are "super human" and do the most rash and bizzare things.

The one under the bed is a right grump, he barks(very loudly) at nothing or the least small noise, moans,whines, howls at police sirens, sings happy birthday(lots of barks and growls!!)on demand. You cant touch him unless he says its ok! But i do love him!

Some sites can be a con there are some like mirrorbingo which give you a free £10 to play with I havent played with Mirrorbingo,I did it with a site called Astrobingo and won the £41.98 as stated on my signature but I couldnt take the money out as I didnt place a deposit when registering and if I had the money could have been withdrawn,its best to look at the terms and conditions of a bingo site to see how you can claim your winnings if you win If you do play Bingo good luck Diamond a tip use ask Jeeves to find bingo sites with a free £10

No Risk Bingo:
There are loads of bingo sites that offer a free £20 or £10.
Read the threads/rules for each in the gambling section.
However generally, you are given some free cash. But you can only withdraw if you win £30. So you will either bust out (but it's their money do't forget) and walk away. Or win +£30. Then to get the £30 you need to give them a £5 of your own. Then you either get to withdraw £30 or £35 depending on the site. Either way £25 or £30 is profit.

I have done 6 sites and won on 3. About £90 from it.


WARNING: Below offer can lose you £10
My big win 2 days ago was a different offer. Join by a referal. Put £10 in (BEFORE YOU PLAY) and then you get £100. You can only withdraw winnings, not the £100. So you have £110 to play with. You will either lose all of if (thus you have lost your own £10) or you will have a win. I advise leave immediately after a win.

I have had a hectic stressful period at work.
I had to do an induction for the 4th most important person at ****.
Who used to be the H&S Director.
And I had never done one before.
And I hadn't seen the info til late last night.

I had to get in work by 7:15 (left home at 5:50am!!). Ran round getting site tidied. Then was called and told the induction was an hour earlier than I was told i.e. NOW.

But he was a nice guy. Well I did it - and I am leaving here at 3pm. Going to Brum for my and my great nephew's birthday weekend.

.......and relax.

First time I've posted on this thread. Thought it couldn't do any harm. 3 weeks ago, I had a few people back for a party at my flat. I don't do this often and warned my sister (who I lived with) beforehand and she seemed fine with it. Had a massive argument with her the next day and her boyfriend threatened to punch my face in and my friends for having a party. I was alone and hungover at that point, so I freaked out when I got a text from sister's bf telling me to be in at a certain time that day because "a few people were coming round to have a word with me". Sister then text me asking how the studying was going (I had exams that week). My heart started beating really fast and this went on for hours, I was really panicking. My friend came round and sister's bf did not. He text me that night, all sorts of horrible names. I ended up not going to my exams that week, something which I have never done before. But I was in a total state and felt I couldn't go. At the party however, I was put in a position of matchmaker by a male friend A, his female friend liked my friend B. I had never met the girl before but she seemed nice and because she was aware that guys A & B were speaking about her, she wanted to go somewhere to chat with me. She went on and on about B (who is also my boss at work), asked if she was stepping on anyone's toes and was I sure it was okay etc. I said yes, of course but as she kept talking about it I began wishing she would shut up!! I was feeling uneasy and realised I had feelings for him (B).

Background with B is I work with him, he went out with 1 of my friends and was absolutely devastated when she broke up with him. I gave him a lot of support, he talked to me for ages over a few months and he felt really depressed. Then one night 2 months ago he was very very upset and he initiated something but when it got to a certain stage, I stopped it because I knew he was still in love with his ex. As far as I was concerned, that was it. I didn't speak to him about it because I thought it would be simpler that way and he had enough to deal with.

Realised a few days later that I had been tempted (had never looked at him in this way before) and so in a roundabout way I told him that. He said he hardly remembered and had been really drunk. I decided that was fine and to just try and forget about it.

Now realised I had feelings, I told him and he said we were just good friends and he wasn't in a good place at the moment anyway. (which I know, because we speak a LOT!) One of my friends told B's new squeeze about me, which embarassed me greatly. This girl was understandably annoyed because she had asked me that first night! I don't know if this is making much sense to anyone, but basically my friend B has pushed me away as a friend, while also given me mixed signals the most recent of which was telling me in no uncertain terms he was happy with the new girl. (as if I want him to be unhappy?!) I feel like a complete fool and I'm really hurt he has pushed me away but also because my sister doesn't care about me at all and lets her boyfriend off with everything, never takes my side.

There's a bit more that's happened but I don't want to bore anyone who might be reading. I have told my friend B I'm really down and don't understand why he can't be more supportive, instead of pushing me away. I am gutted I have lost his friendship. Have thought about how easy it would be to take some tablets many times in the last wee while. Not getting any better, as every day it seems something new happens to twist the knife. I'm usually very bubbly but now I'm not sleeping, eating too much or not at all and feel awful inside. Thought about anti-depressants but worried that will go against me for future jobs. Don't know how to deal with all this. I have never felt so awful before and I'm sort of scaring myself.
