II have noticed throughout my years of having bipolar disorder that sometimes I become increasingly paranoid about matters in life. I take my medications regularly and as prescribed yet somedays I do experience breakthrough symptoms that are worrisome. Keep in mind mental illness is treatable but never totally curable at this time. I try to remain as stable so to speak as possible allthough the use of caffeine and nicotine can cause problems of its own in anyone, not to mention someone who has an illness such as mine. Sometimes i find myself second guessing myself, wondering if I am thinking correctly about a certain subject or person. At times I can get an idea into my head and I run away with it to the point of paranoia, believing what I came up with in my head is definitely true and a reality. It is so easy to become confused with an illness and to think incorrectly at times having trouble deciding if a sudden idea or thought is true or not. People in general can become suspecious without a mental illness. Even more so a bipolar individual has intense thoughts and emotions which can become so certain until the person is convinced without a doubt that what they are thinking is accurate. At the end of the day we have to trust ourselves and our gut feeling even though that is not always easy to do. It is best not to jump to conclusions in life or ever accuse others without first weighing all the evidence and seeking outside advice from a trusted individual.

AuthorI was diagnosed bipolar 1 in March of 2005. It's been a challenge to say the least to live with this disorder everyday. There has been some major ups as well as downs. It's just something I have to deal with. Everyone has their own problems and struggles to sort out and this is just one of mine. I'm not asking for anybody to feel sorry for me. I just want to educate those who don't know much about it, and if it helps out somebody along the way even better. Archives
