What did you think #bipolar disorder was before you were diagnosed?

Like if you heard someone say, "He's bipolar."

If you could text bipolar in less 160 characters (words) what would you type?#bipolarclub

I read using the hashtag #bipolarclub may lead me to finding people with similar diagnoses. I would absolutely love making new friends who understand.

@iamborderpolar Trouble thinking/socializing, oversleeping

#bipolar friends, what are the first signs you notice before a #depressive episode? #bipolarclub #bipolardisorder

[Garrett @tyrellweyland]

Communicating with you #bipolarclub folks has helped me a lot. I was misunderstood by the people in my personal life. I was unwell and alone. You guys made me feel understood and validated. I’m generally well now and, consequently, my relationships have improved. Thank you all.

[Bipolar Connections @Bipolar_Connect]

No, never.... Ok... yes. Many times. 🫤 #bipolar #bipolarclub

[لين @bipolaritycheck]

do u ever feel like avoiding people you’ve encountered when you were manic because you did or said something that was embarrassing? #bipolarclub

[Bipolar Connections @Bipolar_Connect]

@donnaha96331777 Hi Donna, welcome to #bipolarclub! Hope you are hanging in there and meeting lots of cool #bipolar folks on Twitter! 😀

[Caiterz🪼 @bringumybullets]

Anyone else with #bipolardisorder struggle in education/work because you get too lost in your own head, but at the same time you thrive on routine & regular human interaction?…

Yeah, it’s hellish.

[لين @bipolaritycheck]

so when you’re stable are you considered normal or are you still abnormal since you have bipolar disorder? 🤔

[Lily Idle @LilyIdle]

Being afraid of happiness is exhausting. I’m terrified joy is just a sign of mania, that contentedness is really illness. It’s honestly debilitating. #bipolar @BipolarClubDx

[Bipolar Connections @Bipolar_Connect]

@charleeshealth Yeah, a large dose knocked me out, a small dose helped me sleep.

[Tiffany @mizzundahstood1]

1. Mental illness is hard to speak of. For many reasons: sometimes we don't want to be judged, or to be considered crazy, as if it's a joke. We have the mental illness, when we are at our lowest it gets scary, not something to joke about. The judgements are nonstop

I love that my meds keep me even, but I miss the energy mania gave me... I felt like a fucking rockstar on those days, I could do anything. now I feel... boring. ☹️ better than crazy, I guess...

@BipolarClubDx @Ri_Bipolar The #bipolarclub members are located all over the world. Clem is in the UK, I'm in LA, I know we have someone in Germany, Puerto Rico as well Australia/NZ to name a few. My point being, regardless of the time of day you can usually find members to talk to.

[-Amy- @veggieburger02]

I absolutely hate being #bipolar.
I hate the lows, the highs. I hate feeling detached from people. I hate that I feel to the extreme. I hate side effects from med changes. I hate what it does to my family. #bipolarclub

[Bipolar Connections @Bipolar_Connect]

@artbeforemoney @BipolarClubDx @bipolar_memes I felt this way in high school when I was very depressed with no diagnosis or treatment. I used to come home from school, lay on the floor, and listen to depressing music. But since then my meds have worked really well so I haven't felt that way.

[Joshua C. Robinson 🏳️‍🌈 @artbeforemoney]

The worst part about being bipolar, (or perhaps about being human) is that every day after work I come home completely spent, completely unable to write and create. If anyone has an idea on how to change this, I'm all ears. @BipolarClubDx @bipolar_memes @Bipolar_Connect
