I think that his girlfriend is full of BS, butwho knows. I think you should go get a real diagnosis from a doctor you know.
-
No shes not she makes 6 figures So she has to be doing something right.
-
Well if you have any of the main symptoms for it then you might have it. If not then it amy just be your certain personality.
-
I refuse to believe the little voice in my head telling me to kill this bitch and the other one saying omg you better run and the other one saying like who gives a fuck do as you please means im bipolar. But I think I am after reevaluating it.
-
Talk with a doctor dude :O.

Sirricharic, I know a bit about bi-polar, so I'll ask you a few questions.
The voices in your head you speak about, when do they happen?
Do your moods change rapidly, say from being On top of the world - Manic, to Really low - Depressed?
When you are feeling low, do you suffer anxiety or feel as though the world is closing in? Do you get the voices in your head while you are on your lows?
While in mania (highs), do you often strive to achieve future goals more as you would when in your relaxed state? Do you think more rapidly and have more energy?
There are three different types of Bi-polar, I am trying to examine what stage of Bi-polar you are at, if you even have it.
-
apparently I'm bi-polar :P, but yeah....you're not going to die lol.
-
The voices in your head you speak about, when do they happen? Everytime I Think of Something
Do your moods change rapidly, say from being On top of the world - Manic, to Really low - Depressed? Yeah like I feel happy then for no reason I see someone doing some random stuff I get angry as hell even when its not my business
When you are feeling low, do you suffer anxiety or feel as though the world is closing in? Do you get the voices in your head while you are on your lows? : Yeah like it seems like everyone hates me and its only happening to me and I want to crawl in the corner
While in mania (highs), do you often strive to achieve future goals more as you would when in your relaxed state? Do you think more rapidly and have more energy? Yeah like I feel like I can do anything like when I went to talk to this chick I liked and she was like No but I felt bad but I was like what ever and I was still confident but im hyper all the time.

I thought that voice in your head was your concious.. all these years I have a voice in my head like that.. one side is like 'Hmm.. feeling like you should have gone to that convention.. eh?' while other is like 'haha, awesome get to play on the PC all day longggg!!!!!'
Isnt this normal??
All these years! :eek:
Most of the time I am really happy, (takes ALOT to get me angry or depressed) but when im depress im REALLY depress.. feel really down. Maybe I should talk to a doctor and check? :wow:
-
Everybody has a disorder in their own way, because there is no real definition of normal. ;)

Wise words from you, deffently +1 to you :)

I used to have voices in my head, but it turned out to be my OCD doing it when I saw my doctor. You should really really see your doctor and tell them about the voices man.
-
I used to have voices in my head too, but then somebody took away my headphones.

Funny. :rofl:
And, on topic, Sirricharic you should visit a doctor... A DOCTOR...
-
Well the little voices are my conscience but there is too many of them to be it though. Like one is like evil for no reason, another is just depressed and I want to curl up in a ball, another its confident and cool all the time, and there are others too. But my mood alternates for no apparent reason. And my brothers girlfriend is a doctor, but ill go see another doctor just to be sure.
-
Are they their own voices? Like do you just hear them without you thinking of voices or anything? Like is it some weird voice whispering in your ear (apart from it being in your mind)? Does the voice have a certain tone like demonic, masculine, etc...? Because sometimes I think of certain random stuff that its a bad habit which ticks me off.

That is very sad news, I hope you get better mate!

Do you even read the whole topic dude :lol: Bi polar disease isnt curable. Its not like the common cold or a concussion. It is managable with pills but is like AIDS, never goes completely away. Sad but true im afraid. but its genetic so you cant "catch" it.

Amazingly enough they come out of nowhere like one sounds like the little clown guy from it. And another sounds like C.J from SA and theres alot of them. Like I dont even think of them but they just come and sometimes they scare me in my sleep. Like this time I was sleeping it kept getting louder and louder "ITS GONNNA KILL YOU ITS GONNA KILL YOU WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!" Then in my mind I heard a loud gunshot and I woke up knowing its a dream but I peed on myself so that sucked. Stuff like this happens alot and alot of times I picture things in my mind that alot of times actually happen. That scares the shit out of me I just want to be normal. :cry:

Well if you are telling the truth (which I think you are) then there are some simple solutions. This can be serious like a brain tumor or some other mental disease. Or some cycological problem or type of disease which isnt life threatning, but a problem and irregular. You should get this checked out by a doctor and get screened, then if nothing life threatning shows up, you will get medicine and the voices will go away. I dont think the voices will go away on their own, unless theres a way to make it go away through counciling, but Im not sure since I dont study situations like yours.
What puzzles me is that you know these voices are irregular and you shouldnt be hearing them. If these voices tell you to do harmful things it seems you dont listen or follow the orders. Which is good, and you should keep it that way. However, these voices in your head might make you lose your sanity. So I really suggest you get checked out by a crap load of doctors, and get medicine. You may think to yourself "Im not normal because I take medicine for voices in my head.." it may sound weird at first but you cant do anything about it and its alright to. Over 54 million americans face mental disease so your not alone.
But what else I want to know is do you ever follow the voices in your heads when they tell you to do certain things? and do the voices ever talk about anything positive that dont bother you? and this is a stupid question but is it possible to have conversations with these voices, like for some reason you can talk to yourself like this?
P.S.
A certain thing that might help, which I kind of doubt will help this (even though it helps alot of other things like phobias and bad habits) is hypnotics. You get put into a hypnotic state and this person tells you not to do something in your sub-concious mind. You yourself wont have to do anything but your sub-concious mind, like while sleep walking mind, will pretty much help its self. For example: The hynosis guy puts you in a deep sleep (when your kind of unconcious but only your thinking and reality mind is asleep) then the doctor tells the person "When you awake, you will no longer be afraid to fly on planes." then he goes "when I snap my fingers you will awake, 1, 2, 3, *snap*" you awake and you will no longer be afraid of planes. This will only happen, however, if you totally put your free will towards being put under this deep sleep and totally want with your free will for these voices to be gone.
So help this infomation helps. Im not an expert but just a guy trying to help by putting in my 2 cents. ;)

Its like that Ive done hypnosis on other things like assertiveness but im going to schedule an appointment soon im scared though because idk why but i took my phone apart and I dont remember doing it.

So you are also experiencing short tem memory mabey? Or some type of sleep walking state when you do stuff you wouldnt normally do or just do it with your own free will then forgetting it.
As for the brain tumor. How long have you been experiencing all of this? If since early as you can remember then I think it wouldnt be a brain tumor since it probroly would of caused severe and serious damage already, possibly death. But if you think it may be a brain tumor here are some symptoms.
General symptoms of a brain tumor
- Headache
Headaches are a common initial symptom. Typical "brain tumor headaches" are often described as worse in the morning, with improvement gradually during the day. They may rouse the person from sleep. Sometimes, upon awakening, the person vomits then feels better. These headaches may worsen with coughing, exercise, or with a change in position such as bending or kneeling. They also do not typically respond to the usual headache remedies.
Please note: There are many causes, and types, of headaches. If you are experiencing headaches, we encourage to talk to your doctor. He or she is best able to listen to your concerns, outline your medical and headache history, and determine the next "best step" in your care.
- Seizures
About one-third of people diagnosed with a brain tumor do not aware they have a tumor until they have a seizure. Seizures are a common symptom of a brain tumor. Seizures are caused by a disruption in the normal flow of electricity in the brain. Those sudden bursts of electricity may cause convulsions, unusual sensations, and loss of consciousness. Focal seizures -- such as muscle twitching or jerking of an arm or leg, abnormal smells or tastes, problems with speech or numbness and tingling -- may also occur.
- Mental and/or Personality Changes
These can range from problems with memory (especially short-term memory), speech, communication and/or concentration changes to severe intellectual problems and confusion. Changes in behavior, temperament and personality may also occur, depending where the tumor is located. These changes can be caused by the tumor itself, by increased pressure within the skull caused by the presence of the tumor, or by involvement of the parts of the brain that control personality.
I have gotten the infomation about brain tumors from a helpful website. And if you would like to learn more about the subject and if your worried about it then check the website out. its http://www.abta.org/index.cfm?contentid=13 (http://www.abta.org/index.cfm?contentid=13)
Overall you shouldnt get too worried and stay calm. Im not a doctor or an expert on this subject. Just go to that appoitment and expect anything but hope for the best. If you believe in God then Im praying for you buddy, if you dont then I wish you the best of luck and hope its nothing life threatning. :)
-
I dont have any of the tumor symptons other then mood/personality changes.

if you're that concerned about being bi-polar i insist you go to a specialist with this kinda thing to get diagnosed properly. Matthew seems to know a lot about it but there's a limeted amount of help you can get on a gaming forum lol.
edit: oh i just read you scheduled one, sorry. good luck with it though :)
-
holy shit... reading these symptoms and it would appear my best friend is bi-polar... happiest guy in the world one day then an emo the next.
-
I think it's only if you get it happens really fast.. like 1 minute your feel your in cocaine, next you feel like commiting sucide, correct me if I am wrong.

Yes exactly :lol: Dont take a gaming forum nerd's advice, get checked from a real professional. Althought websites found on google may also help out alot. They still cant diagnose you with anything.
-

It is for me i just got suspended for thowing my cell phone at this girl and now its really broken. I took it apart some time idk when I did though but there were only 3 screws in it so it fell apart. But my moods arent always depressed and happy. They're more like happy angry depressed enraged loving patient impatient scary alert and confused.
