Question by …: Are my symptoms a classic example of a bi-polar disorder? Please fill out the symptoms list like I did. thanks?
First of all, I think I am a completely normal guy; and there is nothing wrong with me. I do not think I have any type of disorder in me.
But i made a list of “symptoms”, and filled them out. If you could do that too, that’d be great.
1) # of average friends? – lots
2) # of very close/intimate friends? – few
3) Mood swings? – very drastic mood swings, changing for very little reason.
4) Need for natural “highs”? – extreme, all the time.
5) Act differently around different people? – YES. Act differently in front of EVERYONE. Most honest towards my closest friends, but still keep a few things from them.
6) “Happy/extremely down” ratio – 80:20 (In 80% of life situations: happy, 20% extremely down).
7) Use humor to cover up stuff – YES. My friends call me the funniest guy they’ve come across. But I do not feel comfortable about telling people (sometimes even my closest friends the entire truths in my life, cuz iv screwed up).
8) Drugs/booze/nicotine? – I used to do pot before. Clean from that. Still on nicotine, but almost clean from that too. Hide the smoking part from my friends.
EDIT:
9) Rebellious? – Yes. Organized rallies in NY for gay rights movements, Palestinian rights in Gaza. Been arrested once by cops, but got let go. I am in strong support of the marijuana campaign too.
