Is this bipolar or am i just crazy..?

Question

Well ok.. i do a lot of weird **** i know "normal people" dont do.. such as.. eat nails cut of skin near nails with out knowing it.. talk fast at times.. i dont need a lot of sleep.. ect ect.. but the thing that really gets to me is that.. i assume what people are thinking..

For example.. i can be talking to some one and they do something and i plot out why they did that.. and how they feel at that moment.. and i over do it.. i assume a lot of **** that i know is not true.. and i "assume" i know what they are thinking and reasons for them doing what they do...

it is really annoying and i which i did not have this.. what is it? what is it called???? is there a cure??

Answer 1

It doesn't sound like you have bi-polar. My mother was bi-polar and her symptoms were - manic hyper activity and then crashing depression ( I mean she would just lay on the floor and stay there for weeks) and also extreme levels of aggression  . It sounds like you have some kind of anxiety disorder, it also sounds like your just a human. The best thing I can advise you to do is go to a sociologist. Good luck. x

Answer 2

Your symptoms sound like bi-polar disorder to me.  For the simple fact that I have the disorder.

I remember how my moods ranged when I wasn't on medication.  I would have my happy euphoric highs and my extremely low lows.  I could be happy one minute and then cry the next.  All at the snap of a finger.  I would get really depressed, and I would hate my life.  I thought about suicide daily, and I would get very enraged.  

I almost never slept.  I began smoking like crazy to calm myself down.  I was always paranoid people where laughing at me or out to do me harm in some form or fashion.  After a while I became very antisocial and didn't leave my bedroom for months on end.  

I would also plan our a confrontation before it ever happened.  What I mean is that I would think about my course of events for the day and anything that I thought might cause a confrontation verbally I would have it planned out.  I would rehearse the conversations usually of the morning while getting ready for work.  Also I would plan out physical confrontations as well and how to take someone down with the least amount of effort.  The sad thing is that I haven't had a confrontation in nearly 6 years.  

Some people don't realize that there is more to the disorder than someone just being a lunatic or crazy. There is different sides of bi-polar disorder.  I will add some articles below for you to do a little research.  I myself I have sever bi-ploar disorder (which means that I have both depressionn and mania episodes), OCD's, anger aggression towards males, I don't like authority figures, etc.  

The medicine my doctor put me on has made a world of difference.  I can actually concertrate on things now, and I don't get all pissed off everytime something doesn't go my way.  I don't mood swing all the time.  Life is so much more pleasant because I am alot happier and alot less aggrivated.  

Answer 3

This doesn't sound like bi-polar at all. It sounds like you have a lot of anxiety which would account for the nail eating and biting. I have social anxiety disorder and I always think of what people are gonna say before they say it or what they think of me and such. It can be annoying but I deal with it. Try talking to a psychiatrist, they can help diagnose you better.

Answer 4

I am not a doctor, but none of what you described are symptoms of bipolar disorder as it is defined in the DSM-IVTR. You might benefit from some anxiey medication and I would talk to your doctor about that if I were you.
