I am going away for a week of training, I am not looking forward to it at all, but all the staff has to go through it, I just happen to be first, I want to get it out of the way. So, I have to figure out a way to be polite while these people that don't do my job tell me how to do my job better.
I will be taking my zoloft with me, over the last few years when I sit for a while in a classroom environment, my mind goes places that I wish it would not. I honestly can not control this crap, finally went to may doctor and got some medication.
Eventually it started happening on a daily basis at work, pretty wild stuff, I would have to get away from the scene to get it out of my head.
It is strange because it is never the same. Sometimes I get angry, sometimes just overly, overly thrilled, it is ridiculous, doctor said that I was bipolar, he tested me and I got a 9 out of 14, he says it is pretty severe. I have been okay for quite awhile now, but I will tell you the first time it happened it was a pretty crazy experience.
Has anyone dealt with anyone with bipolarism? I have always considered myself a pretty stable person, but this crap just takes control of my mind and goes places that are totally innappropriate at times.

I'm sorry but I don't know one single teen age girl that doesn't have the bi-polar symtoms..I mean really....it's freakin' hormones! Actually don't know a single person that couldn't at one point of their lives look at it and think the same...I feel for all that have true mental illness, I just think that alot of times it is simply bad behavior, and they get a diagnosis, then they think that gives them license to either continue this bad behavior, or not be responsible for their own actions, (which really pisses me off!)....But I guess some times it's so hard to know...there is so much phycho babble nonsense anymore, everybody had something! Some times, (I"m sorry) people are just asses...they are! And they should 'want' to change this behavior...I'm sure my husband and daughter were chemically bi-polar, no question...but that in no way absolved them from their behaviors (with me anyway!)....just my two cents.....I think we as a society have provided too many 'excuses' for everything...

LoL, Lori
I see your point, many people do use this excuse for their actions. As hummingbird stated, she feels the reprocutions of her husbands mood swings, that is terrible. He should not take it out on you, nor should your daughter. You are not everyones stepping stone.
Sorry, hummingbird, thought that you thought that it was good and not me who posted the comment, silly me, forgive me please.
So, as long as your daughter gets to do what she wants she is fine right. I think a lot of teenagers are like that and you have nothing to worry about, she will be fine. You just have to deal with the hormones like Lori said, eventually she will grow out of it. Sad that your other kids have to deal with it too though.
Hang in there, get your moo moo on, I am on my way, LOL.
Hey, you went back to 6 cents, ouch!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, no one should be mistreated like this

It's hard, especially when you have 'accepted' certain behaviors for so long from a loved one, to finally come to the impass where you say, 'enough already, I'm not taking this anymore', easy to say hard to do....good luck.......and remember, 'you teach people how to treat you', and 'you can only control you own behaviors, actions and reactions, you have zero control over anyone elses.'

So much wisdom here! I love it. Lorie,I agree wholehearted with you.There is a diagnosis for every action. Medication for every thing.Everyone has an excuse for their behavior.
Erb,your forgiven honey.No biggie.Its a bit hard to keep every thing straight here sometimes.Dadummy,I call that nostalgia.Melancholi of sorts.Lorie you hit the nail right on the head.Erb,I'll be there with my moomoo in hand! Yes, that hurt to start back at 0. But thats the way it is. Gives me an excuse to sit here and pound these keys some more.

LOL, hummingbird, we love you here honey, so if they start treating you mean at home, you just come on here to us, LOL, we will cheer you up and help you wear out your keyboard.
When you get so involved in coversation with people you almost feel like you know them, I just want you to know that you always have friends here that you can come and vent to, as long as we can vent back, LOL.
Moo moos, very comfortable wear huh, if you put it on instead of holding it in your hand, they will think you lost your mind, lol, then they would walk cautiously around you.
Hope to exchange a lot with you on your way to another $50. 8)

I think that we are all a little bipolar, they used to refer to it as PMS, remember? LOL
They sure the heck did not prescribe pills for it when I was suffering through it, I had to grin and bear it, or growl and bear it. How did we make it in our day?

You are too funny, but that is true, PMS got blamed for everything for a long, long time.
Can you still have PMS if you have had a hysterectomy, men seem to be the best spotters of PMS, I have to ask one, LOL.

Thank you goodnatured.I will treasure your words of kindness when I am feeling bleak. So glad I was led here to you all. You are the bright spot in my day.Everything just melts away.
The PMS? Yes ,I had that.They used to tell me I was the most patient person they knew.After years of living with a tempermental man I am not anymore.I know I really need to get away.If I could be self supporting I would be think. There are lots of women I think that would rather live alone if they could be self supporting.My sister's husband left her for a younger woman after 27 years.. She was devastated I was envious. I told her how she was better off.She now likes her new life with no one to yell at her.If you have a mild tempered man you are soooo lucky.The last 2 I have had one was just plain mean and cheap.The other has a good side and a bad side.Thats whats kept me here 23 years. But anymore the bad is getting to be all i can remember.
