What do I do? If i'm bipolar it's obviously not effecting my life because i'm happy and so are the people around me. Is there a better test then the 5 that I took online that say i'm not at all bipolar? Am I in denial... How do I get him off my back... nothing seems to work.. he thinks i'm in denial. He also thinks i'm leaving my husband for a movie star because my mom told him she thought I was... this is soooo retarded.
P.S... Marriage advise is not welcome.. I am not leaving my husband. All I want to know is how to get my brother off my back.. because it hurts my feelings. Or tell me a better way to tell if I'm bipolar.My brother is trying to convince me that I'm Bipolar.. my husband says i'm not...?
Unless you brother is a Doctor, I wouldn't worry about it. Have you considered that he may be?My brother is trying to convince me that I'm Bipolar.. my husband says i'm not...?
here is a link to a test that can help you determine if you are bipolar
your fine tell your bro people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones take alook in the mirror bro
Get a pdoc to diagnose you, we can't.
whoa, that's a long question....
whoa
loooooooooooooooong
just tell ur bro to stfu
like hell u are. i am not reading all that stuff omfg
Take control of your own life! If your happy and your husband is happy, that's all that matters!! Maybe your brother has some mental problems going on due to the fact he's so consumed with your life and your mental health. If he doesn't accept you for the way you are, then tell him to stay away before he causes you to go into a mental state!! Tell him to worry about his own life and you take of yours.
Tell your brother that if he wants to diagnose you than he has to get his degree in psychology and until than he should shut up because he's not qualified to make such a diagnosis. Than tell him that although you love him his actions are bothering you and since you don't have to put up with it you won't. IF he can't accept you for who and what you are he's not welcome in your house. Put your foot down. and he'll either shut up or leave you alone. IF that causes a problem in the family remind them that you have a right to live your life as you see fit and not to have people always questioning you. ASK your mother and brother if they would want someone doing that to them all the time. It should get them to think about what they are doing. I think that your brother is so focused on you because he's afraid that he might develop it himself. I think that he's projecting his fears on you.
your writing style indicates you may be in a manic state, probably hypomanic. Do you talk fast too ?
The online tests are subjective, you may answer them they way you want to, not the way you really feel or act.
See a psychiatrist for an evaluation, he can be objective. If he says you are OK, tell your brother to STFU. Otherwise take some meds. I take lithium as a mood stabilizer.
You my dear Are NOT BIPOLAR. Your brother is not a Phychologist and should just leave you alone if you are completly happy (which it sounds like you are). If you tell him this and he still doesnt leave you alone about it and IT really bothers you, go to a phychologist, and get professional advise, it sounds like to me, he is the one with the problem! I dont really know what else to say except I hope everything works out! Oh and who was the celeb? l0l I'm just being noisy.
keep smiling you sound like a great person
I wish you all the best.
you might ignore this because I'm simply going to give you a link, don't I have 23yrs of personal experience and you will find out what you need to know if you take the time to read it.

hi
you are probably not bi.polar if you were it would have been recognised by now
there are a few things in your question that you seem to be right about like your brother judging you against his wife, this happens all the time and as you say just because you are happy one day and can be a bit down the next is not bi,polar it is called being human !
if you realy are concerned see your GP for referal to see a specialist (which will be private so nobody knows that you dont want to tell )
i would never offer marrige advice to anyone i have been married 28 years but i am not vain enough to think i am an expert !
i hope this helps
it would be earier to answer if u cut your question short cuz nobodys gona take the time to read all this
just tell him that you went to see a psychiatrist and the EXPERT said that you weren't, and that bipolar disorder generally manifest itself when you are in your teens so you would have known by now if you were, and tell him that the doctor said you should only listen to expert opinion not someone who thinks they know what bipolar disorder is i.e. your brother because only a doctor can accurately recognize bipolar disorder.....or just simply don't talk to your brother anymore until he gets his head out of his A**
The way you find ot things like this is very simple....GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR. Gee, why cannot people figure this out for them self? I doubt very much if a shrink is on here looking to give out free diagnosis.
I seriously doubt that you are bipolar. Yes, you have emotions - which I think is an important part of who we are. So, if you want to get this off your back quickly, go see a doctor. I think it will be quick appointment.
Tell your brother to mind his own business only a Psychiatrist can make that diagnosis tell him he needs to get a hobby or a life of his own and stop focusing on yours ! brothers can be a pain!
Your bipolar .. It's obvious. Just get on some medication and it'll all even itself out and you'll be very happy.
No you are not! I was misdiagnosed as bipolar to find out years later it was wrong. Chances are it is due from being sensitive and being sensitive has nothing to do with bipolar. I found out my temper probs were due to stress and not enough sleep.
Good Luck! Oh and tell your bro to leave the ';shrinking'; to the pros.
LOTS OF WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That might be a record.
I am a product of the MTV generation. You can't expect me to read all that.
Sorry
You know brothers can just be mean. Ignore him. He might be trying to make himself feel better by insulting you. In any case, it's a low blow to accuse you of mental health issues just because he doesn't understand you. Do you always believe everything your brother tells you. I'm here to tell you, you don't have to. You have to remember your brother has NO qualifications for diagnosing you. You do not sound bipolar to me, but if you have any concerns at all, go to a doctor, a mental health specialist and find out for sure. Ignore your brother until he learns to take care of himself and his own problems, and learns that it's rude and disrepectful to ';diagnose'; you without a medical degree.
Well....this is a hard one. My sister is bi-polar but there is so many different ways bi-polar effects certain people.
Who knows maybe you need something for the anger issues. Would it hurt to go to doctor and talk about it?
Geese if anything quit talking to your brother about anything personal or even at all! If you are happy and your marriage and job are fine.....then I wouldn't worry about it.......sounds like hes the one with the problem. It isn't abnormal to show feelings of anger or sadness!
wow, my eyes hurt from readingg this all. lol, dont listen to yourr brother, he is your brother so its obvious that he is just trying to piss u off and your husband lives with u and loves u so if he says you are not bi polar than ur not and u should try to ignore your brother or just dont talk to him.. u r married so u dont need him all u really need is love with u and your husband so tell your brother to back off and just dont call or talk to him until he learns to be nicer to u and treat u better.
Good Luck.=]

Give this to your brother and tell him to shut up.
Contrary to popular belief, the mood swings in Bipolar disorder do not happen in a second. It鈥檚 not about being happy one second, then mad, then sad. The mood swings last weeks or months and a manic or depressive episode needs to last three or more days before being labeled a Bipolar episode. Also the mood swings in bipolar can be trigered by events (even the weather) but more often are not triggered by anything
Here are some of my personal examples of the extremes. My moods generally last for a couple of months then there is a short period of being normal before I start to swing the other way
The low - Do not care about anything, stop showering, stop cleaning house, crying a lot, sleeping 14 hours a day, want to die but don't have the energy to plan it, hating yourself for every little bad thing you have ever done..... feeling guilty about everything you have done while manic, knowing that everyone else hates you too. I feel like my mind has stopped working, thoughts are dulled, can't read..... just lay there like a dead lump of nothing.
The High 鈥?these are symptoms as listed online followed by my examples
* FEELING EXTREMELY HAPPY OR IRITABLE* Like you just won the lottery or like your boss just cut your pay in half so he could give his daughter a raise but the feelings go on and on for weeks or months.
*INFLATED SELF ESTEEM* Believe that everyone loves you, everyone knows how smart, funny, pretty, sexy, you are. Think you are so good you can do anything.
* REDUCED NEED FOR SLEEP* 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night for weeks or months and you are never tired.
* TALK FASTER AND MORE THAN USUAL* Ramble on and on but the talk may be disjointed because thoughts are going by so fast you can't get them out fast enough. It's called pressured speech.
* BE MORE ACTIVE THAN USUAL* Needing to run 10 miles a day when you never used to even jog. Taking up 5 new hobbies.
* RACING THOUGHTS* Can be seen as confusion. It's very confusing because your thought go by so fast and you have no control over them it's like having 10 people all shouting at you at the same time.
* BE EASILY DISTRACTED BY SIGHTS AND SOUNDS* Ohhhh bright and shiny things. :) Because you have ceased to even try to listen to your own thoughts.
* ACT IMPULSIVELY, DO RECKLESS THINGS, REDUCED INHIBITION, SPENDING SPREES* Spending the mortgage money on furniture, buying 25 books about penguins because wouldn't it be cute if they could be a colony,* DRIVE RECKLESSLY* 120 mph down back roads with the radio blaring and not really paying attention to the road because of all the bright shiny things, *GET INTO FOOLISH BUSINESS VENTURES* cashing out your 401k to invest in a worm farm or going deep into debt so you can gamble because you know you will win, *HAVE FREQUENT, INDISCRIMINATE, OR UNSAFE SEX* like sex with strangers (without a condom) or with your sisters husband or your husbands sister. Suddenly decide you are gay because the opportunity for twice as much sex is there...... Oh my I didn't know I was into BDSM before... tie me up and flog me baby.
I am Bipolar 1 and while the other types of bipolar may not be as bad they are still much more extreme than the online symptoms portray. The above are things I have one while manic and that's just a few of them.
