You are manic, in my informed by close experience of the condition over many years opinion. And I am speaking with you, or rather keyboarding. We are engaged in a bidirectional flow of ideas.
Yes, I tell you again to see an MD — a psychiatric MD. Not just a counselor — for counselor is the word YOU used. And now today, based on this new information I tell you to get a second opinion. See a different psychiatric MD and get a independent diagnosis from that doctor.
I am not using the phrase “suggest you see” because I’ve been through the hell of living with a person in manic stage. A suggestion would be ignored!
I’m telling you. See an independent, new, psychiatric MD, and get a second diagnosis.
I see an M.D. psychiatrist regularly who has many bipolar patients. He has experienced many more people with bipolar than the one person you have. And he is not emotionally involved with that person as are you.
My family, with whom I am very close, and who has seen me have an extreme manic episode, all believe that I have been more stable for the last 3 years than I have ever been at any previous time for even one month. And they have seen the post which I have written as well as the rest of my book. There opinion on bipolar in general is at least as informed as yours. And they have known me for all of my 47 years , not just a few posts on a blog over two or three days. Again, I appreciate your concern, but you simply do not know what you are talking about. do you know that counseling is available for family members of those who have a mental illness. I, unlike you, frame that as a suggestion. You seem like you might be rather bitter about your experience with bipolar. But I could be dead wrong about that since we have next to zero information about each other. I wish you all the best. And I pray that
God will grant you the deep peace of Christ.
