I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder about a year ago, though I have severely suffered the symptoms for about 6 years. I am not on medication right now because I have no insurance (I know, I know). Knowing that I have a problem, I've become more aware of my behavior, and while the impulsive mania surfaces sometimes, I end up just staying in the house and avoiding society. I know that's no solution either (and I will have insurance and be back on meds within the next 30 days). I haven't been too off-kilter lately, but one thing I have noticed is I cry at EVERYTHING. I was watching a television show today and started crying about 10 different times. I cry if I see an animal. I cry if I see a baby. I cry if I see a sick person. I don't feel like I'm particularly sad about anything. Why am I crying? None of this stuff used to affect me like that!
