I have left you a couple of messages, also. As far as the memory goes...I know people, places, etc., just timelines I cannot recall, both before and after the treatment. Short-term memory is about 60%. For instance, yesterday I had breakfast, then 1 hour later I had breakfast again, because I had forgotten I already ate. It wasn't until later in the day when I remembered and realized I ate twice for breakfast. It was weird. Little things like that happen all the time. Not remembering where we went to dinner the night before, or not remembering ever seeing a movie I had just seen a month ago...

Just wanted to let you know I replied to your post. :-)

Hey thanks for the note yeah I was diagnosed pretty early on with bp but I feel glad that I had time to deal with it back then instaed of being a full blown adult and having to deal with it now......are you taking any other meds bes9ides trileptol???

thanks for the note, how do i cope ? i put a brave face on for my kids as best as i can, i fake it and if it gets really bad i hide . i have a husband and although he is unable to understand or help me in that sence he is supportive and will take over if he sees im not coping, but i honestly dont know how much more i can take of this mixed state, i think i prefer one or the other being all over the place just is outrageously complex. take care

hello

i am ok under 75 mg seroquel the mania didn't stop, apparently will take some time. i shall stop posting in the forum and keep quiet for a time until i see things improving
thanx for consideration

Thank you for the gift of your friendship .. and welcome to the WL&D community!  Certainly hope you will consider adding the trackers and using the new food journal that MedHelp will be releasing soon.  We're thrilled to have you here and wish you the very very best.

omega-3 is very good for BP and is a natural AD that never turn you manic. You can go up to 6grams/day for depression. B complex is also good. Never try st John's wart as a natural AD drives manic. Chamomile (arabic babounig) very good to calm you down before going to bed, try Secam comp or isis.

never mind

I cannot for sure mania is different for everyone just like depression. When manic some people will party loads and not sleep, others will cause fights physically and verbally, some will do loads of drink and drugs, some will study harder it really depends on the person we're all different. What do you like doing when your happy?

I wouldnt describe myself as a professional i study into medical health and know a lot about bipolar and i am a very active member of this forum but nothing more =)

A manic day and vary and its actually harder to look back on the tracker and find when i have been manic because im usually very fast cycling when manic very depressed then will explode into anger then feel on top of the world for the rest of the day confident, relaxed... so so fueled with energy and just want to be with people then ill collapse again and be crying. Its really very difficult to explain but we can talk about it more if you like, ofcourse i can add you ;)

Just that you said yourself. Swing daily base, sometimes it shifts during the day too. But if I up (hypomania), so I'm not up longer then a day but most of the times I'm depressed.

That's cool - I can answer any questions you have [at least, to the best of my ability - lol]. Do you frequent any other boards or chats other than MedHelp? I ask because there is a very, very good one at WebMD, Bipolar Disorders Support Group. I frequent there very often and sometimes, in a more public environment, it's easier to get responses. I only post randomly at this one because I keep forgetting to check it. ><;; lol.

Just a quick note to say hi!
