From my understanding Manic Depressants have “up-down” mood swings.
My grade 9 English Teacher had Bipolar and one week he was happy as larry, thinking everything was going great in his life and then the next he was driving head on into a Road Train before he realised there was something wrong with him…
He’s been done for Sexual Assualt on 11 counts and is currently serving an extended sentence in prison for similar charges but when medicated he feels he isn’t himself, like he is in “zombie mode”
I know there is a lot more to the condition than what i have been told from him but as well as that, each case is different i suppose

I would say that maybe you have some form of mental dysfuntion, maybe you are just an exhibitionist, who knows. Why not start by finding some loyal friends where sex is not involved then work from thier. Try different activities, try to find a relationship where love is involved as this will be more fullfilling in the long term than casual relationships which my cause others pain. Maybe does not sound exciting but why would you want to be shallow and hedonistic when all can be had by sitting back occasionaly and taking life slowly. Why rush when you have the rest of your life to enjoy. Sit back, deep breath and take one day at a time. Find one small thing in each day which you can be proud of yourself for, even if it is getting out of bed before mid day.

Hon, it might be bipolar disorder that you suffer from and I would really like to suggest to you that medical intervention may be able to help stabilize some of the feelings you are having. It’s not anything to be ashamed of or feel bad about because it is a medical condition. I had a friend that had situations like you described and when she took her medicine, life was a whole lot easier for her and didn’t feel as bad – she did great when she was taking her meds. I really hope you will at least try getting some treatment to at least give it a chance to help. You might also look into learning how to meditate – that can help as well because meditation can ease stress, relieve the mind of it’s challenges, and can help stabilize wild emotional swings. I wish you lots of luck, and don’t get discouraged. If you get to feeling particularly bad, I’d like you to follow some advice and just try sitting down and hum some music – that’s almost like meditating and can help relax you, calm your emotions. You can rock your body back and forth a little bit as well (I do at times without even realizing it, it helps me when I get over anxious), it’s like how babies love to be rocked, it is always a comfort.

I say you’re going through Major depression… I HATE to use the word disorder because I really think taking too many drugs to fix a problem isnt always good…. I’m sure you suffered extreme humiliation during the walmart thing. Losing your job and self security will do that to you. I once lost my job, my best friend and my wife in the same week years ago. Although it devastated me at the time. I look back on it now and just shrug it off. I did exclude myself from many activities I once loved and fell into a big slump of doing nothing everyday all day for about a year at my folks place. Didnt shower for days… was just real sad. After all that I tried to do things I really never committed to. Exercise, healthy eating, cooking even video gaming. I really cant tell u what u have. I really don’t know to be honest. Just find things in life that give u that spark of life again. If u dont find it… wait. Life changes with every breath u take and suicide is never the answer. Know that the feelings u feel are felt by many, everyday, everywhere in every language. There’s more to my story that mirrors yours. I dont take pills I feel make a small problem bigger. and It’s really all just all about growing up. Time to start somewhere new… Get away to a hotel for a week just for the pool.. or just to get away. Tell NO one you work with again of your history and just try to move on and just be you. Jobs will come soon. I never finished high school and saw a passion for food and became a great chef. I have the 2 greatest kids now and met the love of my life… this all really wouldn’t have never happened hadn’t that terrible year come. Things really do happen for a reason…. and before I hit u with some other cliché quote Im going to end this here. just please know… Suicide is NEVER the answer. I wish I could help u more.
