The Basic Facts Of Bipolar Symptoms

The symptoms of bipolar are divided into two groups; they are manic and depressive. People with bipolar disorder are going to suffer both groups of symptoms.

Mania

Mania is the high point of bipolar symptoms . With mania the person is feeling high. They are happy and feeling like they are on top of the world.

However, the main point of mania is that the person is not only pleased, but glad in the extreme. All symptoms of a person actually has in a manic episode is pushed to the extreme that is why it’s regarded as a mania, not just simply be happy.

The other trouble with the manic episode is that because of the extreme high, the person may tend to do something spontaneously, and cannot control their behavior. A lot of people during this episode will feel like they’re unbeatable.

Another problem that will occur in a manic episode will not look like happy behavior. The person will be extremely aggressive and provoking. They will look extremely impertinent or annoyed.

Symptoms of bipolar (manic episode) include:

• Very confident
• Irritable
• High energy
• No require to sleep
• Unrealistic thoughts
• High self-esteem
• Fast speech
• Very active
• Incapable to focus
• Restlessness
• Irresponsible behavior

Depression

Another kind of episode suffered by a person suffering from bipolar disorder is depressive episode. Totally the opposite of mania, depression brings about someone to feel extremely weak. The person may feel very sad and low.

They may start to feel like their life is worthless. A depressive episode can lead to suicidal thoughts and actions.

The depressive episode is frequently more dangerous than the manic episode. This episode is almost always treated with the medication due to this reality.

The standard medications, though, used to treat depression frequently don’t work for bipolar depression and in fact will make it worse. Someone suffering from bipolar depressive episode usually will move slowly and begin to act extremely different than a person that is simply suffering from depression.

Depression bipolar symptoms:

• Feeling blameworthy
• Very sorrow
• Moving and talking slowly
• Always sleeping
• Extreme changes in eating habits
• Feeling of emptiness
• Sluggishness

It is important not to ignore the signs of bipolar disorder. The symptoms of bipolar are the first sign that something is wrong and the first opportunity for someone to get help and treatment.

I’m an Aunt of four children two girls ages 15, 13, and twin boys age 10. Their mother (my sister) is addicted to Meth. The fathers have abandoned them as babies and have never been a part of their lives. Currently they have been living with their grandparents (my parents) but in a very cramped living situation. There is only one bed and the other three switch off sleeping on the floor. My parents are doing their best, but unfortunately it’s not an ideal situation. I have two younger sisters that still live at home with my parents so currently there are 8 people living under one roof. I know the children are stressed and have had a tendency to act out. I’ve been searching all over the web to try to find some sort of help for them. Most of what I’m finding is geared towards teens with addictions. Fortunately for them they have refrained from using but as my nieces get older I am fearful if they don’t get some counseling or additional support they will follow down their mothers same path. They need help before it’s too late!

if your parents are addicted you got it easy you could do what ever u wanted, u lucky mofo

The most difficult decision i ever had to make was whether or not to tell my parents about my twin brother Ryan’s drug problem. I vowed to him i wouldnt tell them, but that was when he was just casually doing it at parties, it had gotten out of control since then and he was becoming addicted extremely fast. Me and him had always been close as we were twins, and he hated me for telling them. I began to hate myself too because i knew i let him down. He ended up getting the help he needed with his family there to support him. (there is 5 siblings so a lot of support). In the end he realized i made the decision because i loved him and didnt want anything to happen to him, but i always wonder if i made the right decision because i let down the one person i knew i could trust and it was the same thing for him with me and i blew it.
In case you were wondering Ryan is almost complete with his senior year of high school(this happened January of 2008, so he missed his senior year but he was already going to get held back as he was skipping school and failing his classes) and will be attending college in the Fall.

If you’re wondering why my parents never knew, they suspected it and always asked me and i always said he didnt do drugs because i was keeping my promise. I ended up telling them after many times of them asking because i couldnt lie to them anymore.

You definetly did the right thing… He’s just mad for getting in trouble. Inside, he most likely feels glad, because your parents helped stop it before it REALLY messed up his life. You might have even saved his life! A lot of things can get out of control really fast with drugs. Keep yourself healthy and NEVER use them!

Ok I am freaking out. My ex and I have been in and out of court for years for our 2 children. At one point I owed him money and they put an offset on my taxes, a lien on my car, and garnished my wages. The judge ordered that it stop because while I did owe him for a short period, my kids live with me and he pays nothing. We go back to court 2/17/10 because he owes me over 5000.00 for last year alone. My state return is on hold and my federal went to pay back TANF that he collected when my kids were with him and he lost his job, even though the attorneys have determined that it is his job to pay this since he owes me so much and was collecting support from my paychecks for 15mths because the IV-D people wouldn’t answer the calls from me or my attorney to see why they had not enforced the court order to stop all of this. I got the lien removed in June, 2009, the wage garnishment they finally took care of in September, 2009 but they obviously forgot to inform the IRS because they just took every cent of my return. I can not survive without this money…I am raising our kids with no help from him, he doesn’t even see them anymore; I am a single parent and have twins that are younger than the 2 I have with him (their father pays but he doesn’t make much so its like 50 a week); I am in school full time and just lost my job 3weeks ago because I could no longer afford the child care. Oh btw the ex I am referring to works for the Railroad and makes approx 4000.00 a month… He has shown that he could care less what the court or the lawyers say as he never returned a penny of the support he collected when he didn’t have them, and I am terrified that he will spend the money before anyone opens on Monday and then they will say "oops, our mistake" and order him to pay restitution at 15.00 per week on top of his current support (which he never paid or pays so I have to wait till March to start receiving it thru the wage garnishment. I have never heard of so many court people being involved in a case and then making so many mistakes. My child support modification was pushed back because the IV-D office found 5 or more mail tubs of mail in their basement from March-April of 2009 unopened and made everyone refile like nothing ever happened. I lost money there, lost money when he kept the cs payments he wasn’t supposed to, lost when the judge told him he better pay the support to the clerk until the garnishment took effect, and now they took this. My car is broken, my bills are due, my kids need things and I am a step away from having a breakdown. There should be someone I can call or fax the court order to so that they can reverse the transaction but every number I called is a recording and no one is open….Anyone who has a law degree or a real legal know how PLEASE HELP ME!! Its not fair that they can mess up my life like this and I am expected to … "I don’t even know what they could possibly expect me to do"….Oh and of course, I live in indiana…..
Ok thank you so much…I did get that number and left a message and will definitely call them again Monday (and again and again till they answer and help me…lol) I was so freaked out about them saying it was already direct deposited and figured it meant to him….whew….THANKS SO MUCH!!!

I understand your pain I went through a nasty divorce that lasted for 2 years over three kids and an ex who doesn’t make as much as I do and wanted me to pay child support and have the kids in his full custody and on and on and on. Believe me there is a light at the end of this long dark tunnel, be prepared when you go to court and DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT every single thing that happens with dates/times etc. that stands up in a court more than anything thats going to come out of anyones mouth keep a journal and document every single thing that occurs concerning your ex. As far as your tax refund goes, its the department of child support services for your state that has intercepted your refund, you need to let the judge know at your next court date so that he can order them to give it back to you or order your ex to pay it back if he received it. If he is not paying his child support that needs to be documented and submitted to the child support dept as well yes it takes time for them to enforce the order on his employer but it will happen and then if he doesn’t pay welcome to arrears, and he will pay either through his drivers license being suspended or his tax refund next year. I hope everything works out and if you have an attorney make sure you are noting this all to submit to him/her. Good luck

My boyfriend wants to buy two separate travel systems for each baby because he wants them each to have their own separate stroller(he hates the twin ones). He also wants it that way because one is a girl, one is a boy & he doesn’t like any of the colors the twin strollers come in because he wants people to know one’s his little boy & the other is his little girl.

I told him that instead of spending so much money on travel systems,we could buy two single car seats in whatever color he wants. He then asked me about a stroller. I told him that 99.9% of stores have carts & until the babies are able to ride in the stroller itself we could just use those to put them in. He hated that idea too.

I know how he is,he won’t look at the price,he’ll look at the pattern & design then buy. I know he’ll spend $500 easy. Does anybody have any other suggestions on what to do(besides letting him spend)?

This is my guess as to what’s going on.

Dad hasn’t had any say in anything regarding the kids. So now he’s dug his heels into something irrational and is clinging to it to the death because it’s the only thing he has to cling to.

So the question is, if one parent is taking both children out, how are they supposed to be pushed? Is he willing to wear one child while pushing the other?

If you want him to give on this, you’ll have to give him another decision to have control over. Pick one that you’ve argued over and have gotten your way on, if you really want to give him the idea that his opinions are valid. Just a suggestion from a guy who has been backed into a corner more than once and has defended a stupid idea to the death, even if I know it’s stupid. Pride.

Crib bedding is the centerpiece of a well-appointed nursery, as more experienced parents and decorators will surely agree. The bedding you choose for your baby boy will certainly help him to find serenity and well-being as he begins life. Before choosing a pattern or color for their baby bedding, it is most important that parents familiarize themselves with the characteristics of safe crib bedding.

Crib linens should fit conventional measurements for cribs and tot beds to ensure that your sleepyhead has a safe place to rest. Stores with integrity now sell bedding with the right measurements, but you’d still be wise to double check this before you buy anything from a particular merchant.

Wise parents will avoid hypoallergenic materials by carefully considering these concerns when reviewing bedding products. A shopper who’s done his or her research knows never to choose an overly puffy quilt, as this can suffocate a helpless infant.

The parents are ready to start thinking after having all the information, about the color or  theme which they feel would be best for their son’s boy crib bedding. Parents inclined to search the internet will be especially amazed by the available variety of styles. To speed up the process and limit the playing field, parents should make a list of all the ideas and themes that they have been seriously considering.

Those parents who have already taken a final decision to decorate their home in a traditional manner would find themselves in no time drawn towards the large and very impressive variety of classic crib bedding. Classic styles in infant bedding have a continued popular appeal even today. Whether it be classic looks you’re shopping for, our wide collection of boys clothing is sure to offer something for everyone.

Linens that are traditional often contain soft hues and designs that make the baby’s room feel very serene. Striped fabrics (perhaps ones containing a boy-appropriate blend of blue and white) may seem particularly appealing for their son’s new haven. A white linen set is a beautiful choice that will give your baby boy’s room a classic but airy feel that anyone who enters the nursery will be enchanted by.

i would like to have both a boy and girl at the same time twins is it possible through Invitro fertilization?

Sort of.

You have to do PGD then have a boy and girl embryo put back into you. PGD is used to scan for genetic disorders. The remove a cell from the embryo right after fertilization (safe for the embryo) and dna test it. Through the dna test, they know if it’s a boy or girl. PGD runs about $2500 to $3000.

But nature might have other ideas. One might implant giving you only a single child or you might have a vanishing twin.
