I was diagnosed with bipolar back in 1998 and over the years I have learned how to combat it. I am not quite sure if the bipolar came from being abused or if it is cause I got hit by a car in 1974..I have lived a rollercoaster ride and have been on many meds..today I only take Cymbalta and vitamins to keep calm.. thankfully I have things to keep me busy..I also suffer with other medical issues but never give up!!

Hello Slime,

Experts say that Bipolar as well as other mental health issues are mainly hereditary. However, trauma in our lives can manifest the disease. I am sorry you have other health issues. If you ever feel like messaging me, please feel free. I would love to get to know you. I can really relate when you say you have been on a roller coaster ride with bipolar. Most of the time I am fine but I have really had my issues with this disorder.

@Pink25 Today is a good morning so far. With me I have a really hard time when the end of summer beginning of fall is when I fall into a bipolar episodes. So I love Spring and Summer which where I live it's rains a lot except this year..the cold weather makes my pain extreme which also is depressing..I take some vitamins to combat it..well have a good day...

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
