Blogpost 3: Mood Swings; Bipolar Disorder

Hello again i am back ^___^ 

Now i'm here to discuss about the "Bipolar Disorder" (SEGWAY, hahahahaha) anyways, what is again "Bipolar Disorder" ? Bipolar Disorder is a kind of mood disorder.

Well how to start my introduction to my blogpost ? uhhhmmm... Of course by he means of opinion, personal experience or observation. Okay, how to start.... how to start... Aha ! I'm gonna share a little story about my friend. Here it goes: 

My friend in high school have this kind of disorder whenever he is in the mood of mania or he's in his manic episode he always annoy me because of his hyperactivity, even midnight. He would just call me or flood me text messages just to say "HI" "Hello" "Bye" then i was like "What's up with you dude ? it's 3:00 in the morning" but whenever he is in the mood of depression he's like a baby that wants a bottle of milk. There is this one time that we were seriously talking then for some while we noticed him crying in his armchair then we asked if there's something wrong, he said "Nothing". And that's my experience with this disorder.

Roller Coaster. How come a roller coaster expresses people with bipolar disorder ? well as i have here in the article written by: John M. Grohol entititled Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression) coping with Bipolar . That can be found in the site: Psychcentral.com He said:

"Those with bipolar disorder often describe their experience as being on an emotional roller coaster. Cycling up and down between strong emotions can keep a person from having anything approaching a “normal” life. The emotions, thoughts and behavior of a person with bipolar disorder are often experienced as beyond one’s control. Friends, co-workers and family may sometimes intervene to try and help protect their interests and health. This makes the condition exhausting not only for the sufferer, but for those in contact with her or him as well."

Well, as John M. Grohol said Bipolar Disorder is like a roller coaster. It's true because even life is like a roller coaster because of the ups and the downs of life every once in a while. In the emotional roller coaster emotions may interfere people to have a normal life or to cope with normal people that have normal changes when it comes to emotions.

Teenagers ? Well teenagers mostly changes moods rapidly. Even I as a teenager I change moods often. Sometimes i'm feel very sad for a nonsense reason, sometimes i feel very energetic like I wanna annoy everyone, play with anyone, scream, dance and etc. and sometimes ... sometimes.. ahh.. sometimes I feel like I just wanna stare in sky (weird right ?) well that's my personal experience and observation to myself when it comes to changing moods.

Here's an article about Teenagers with Bipolar Disorder, This article is written by: Steve Bressert and entitled: "Teens and Bipolar Disorder" and this article can be found in psychcentral.com he said:

"Teenagers with bipolar disorder have an ongoing combination of extremely high (manic) and low (depressed) moods. Highs may alternate with lows, or the person may feel both extremes at close to the same time. Bipolar disorder usually starts in adult life, before the age of 35. Although rare in young children, it does occur in teenagers. This illness can affect anyone. However, if one or both parents have bipolar disorder, the chances are 5-10% greater that their children will develop the disorder. Bipolar disorder may begin either with manic or depressive symptoms. The manic symptoms may include:

• severe changes in mood compared to others of the same age and backgroundùeither unusually happy or silly, or very irritable
• unrealistic highs in self-esteem — for example, a teenager who feels specially connected to God
• great energy increase and the ability to go with little or no sleep for days without feeling tired"

So Bipolar Disorder can be hereditary because as seen in the article above "If both parents have bipolar disorder, the chances are 5-10% greater that their children will develop the disorder" It means that Teens with Bipolar Disorder can be in the genes of their parents. Bipolar Disorder also starts to take effect when child becomes a teenager.

Okay. I've got nothing to say anymore but i wanna suggest something to everyone that's reading this. Let's accept people with Bipolar Disorder, Let's just think if we are in their situation would it be sad if we are not accepted by society ? So let's just respect their situations, respect their lifestyle, fashion, clothes, trips. Let them go with he flow.

Bye :) #Out
