Bipolarism >_<

How can someone call themselves fine when their mood escalates up and down so much?

Depends on if they've been diagnosed as bipolar. Sometimes it can be personality disorder or just someone's method of coping with issues. Mood escalation isn't really a good narrow it down symptom

But it can be frustrating dealing with someone who is like that though

It's all a matter of adjusting, coping, and living with it. With my AvPD, I don't socialise much. I tend to avoid things even if they're beneficial. I get nervous and freaked out over things that, I'm sure, other people consider minor. I fight every morning to stabilise myself and make something of my day. In all of that chaos and fear, I'm fine, because I choose to fight, I choose to cope, and I adapt constantly. Like AvPD, Bipolar isn't something that simply goes away, even with medication. So you live with it, and thrive. At least that's my thought. Did that help at all, or was it all just blathering? I dunno I'm not really sure what direction I was supposed to take the initial comment... lol

I don't think I would ever be able to deal with it I know what it is and everything I just couldn't imagine being so emotionally capricious.

Well, that's kind of one of the downsides to having a mental condition. When you have it, you have no choice but to deal with it, because it's constantly there and it's always going to be there. It can also be hard to find people willing to stick close to you and help you deal with it. That's one reason I cherish what friends I have, they made the choice to stick by me even though my actions, as a result of the avoidance, can impact their lives as well.

I suffer from depression and although it hasnt been diagnosed, Im sure I have some level of Bipolar....seriously one minute I can be happy as a pig in shit and within minutes I can either want to cry in a corner or want to plunge a knife into my chest and there is no explanation for it whatsoever. Even when I hit my really down points I get annoyed at myself because I have no reason to feel like that but I cant control it. It is what it is. I put my shades on and deal with it.. I can call myself fine because as long as I dont plunge that knife in, I am fine....

Hmm in my opinion i could deal with it or somebody else having it when it gets down to it most mental illnesses are in the mind sure enough your not getting rid of it but alot of depression and things more simpler can be fixed by trying to be happy or choosing to resist it not saying all though because im aware of the amount that you pretty much cant help

Well the only input I can put in this is that you just get used to it. My best friend(for 8 years) is Bipolar, it runs in her family. She'll be completely fine one moment them she'll suddenly get up and stomp to her room. I usually hear her yelling then she comes out and shes really happy. I look at her for a bit and just go back to reading my book.
