Struggling with undiagnosed bipolar disorder

Posted , 12 users are following.

I'm really unsure about posting here and I feel really lost but I'm hoping someone can help. I've been experiencing episodes of mania and depression and its truly ruining my life. I've had numerous episodes these past couple of weeks and almost broke my hand punching a cement wall. I don't know how to control myself and my moods and I go for short periods of time days or even weeks of elated mood then just outta nowhere crashing depression and I feel so lost and confused. Other times I'm so happy I just do whatever I want no matter how dangerous or the consequences and it led to me becoming addicted to opiates and benzos. I feel like no one can help me and getting professional help isn't an option for me so I'm just looking for ways to cope and I just wanna know if anyone else has experienced similar things?

    Do a mood diary and take it to your doc it will help with a diagnosis or a referral to a specialist where you will get a diagnosis.  This doesn't happen overnight and can be a bit long winded. You should not have to just cope you sound like you need help. Please don't refuse help there is help out there for you.  It took over 20 years for my diagnosis because i just tried to cope.
