    Bi Polar?
    I am nearly always grumpy and I don't know why. Ill be sad one minute and happy the next. This is an everyday thing. I have a wonderful life, wonderful friends, a loving boyfriend, everything I could want, but I have a hard time keeping myself in a good mood. I never know what type of mood Ill be in. This has been happening since 06' when my dad passed away. Stupid things piss me off when in the back off my head I know they shouldn't. Sometimes I get so mad that I can't even remember why I was mad... Other times Ill get so mad that I loose my appiteite for days on end. I don't even attended church anymore. The only thing that keeps me happy, and off the egde is weed. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of this problem? What's wrong with me?:confused:

    You should get a doctor's diagnosis. If weed is the only thing that helps you, maybe you can get a prescription for it so you can use it legally. Or maybe a doctor would prescribe you something better.

    You stated that you started feeling this way after your father death, sorry to hear that, maybe you've unresolve issues from this and you needed to see a grieving counselor.

    Weed might be a tempopary relief for you but you need to talk to a counselor so that you can have a long term relief plan. Your be surprise how talking to someone can help you because your be free to express your true feelings that you might not feel comfortable expressing to a friend or relative.

    Also, they have many counselors you can talk to that are free. You can Google some in your area.

    Maybe, I don't know... Ive tried that. I even went to anger management for four months. Nothing like that seems to help. How can dumping my feelings and emotions on a stranger benefit me in anyway?

    That is what we are doing in this site,'Dumping our feelings and emotions'!

    By interacting with others we come to terms with how we feel,get a little light shed on our problems from another perspective.This is the basis of social work or counseling/therapy.

    If you want to look into bi-polar disorder here are a few sites which might interest you.

    Psychiatry & Mental Health - Medscape
    Look at the left side for resources/bi-polar

    Bipolar Happens - Bipolar Disorder

    That one I really think explains a lot.
