Hell I didn't even know there are different types of bipolar...I didnt think you really meant you hate them. But no one tends to cut their wrists just for attention. There is an underlying cause.
It is very hard to understand why and how some people are like his but it is very real.
It has to do with how an individual perceives their own brain chemicals. Cutting for attention is a bipolar 1 symptoms believe.
Bi polar 2 things start to get worse even.
Please someone in the know correct me if I am wrong.
Yes, her sis in law as well as us and several of her closer friends all pitched in to help him out.yeah, i sorry to hear that mate...
just a wild thought, have you tried to talk to him or maybe just give him a hand????
Were referring to two different kinds of people here. Cutters usually do it for the visual. The act of doing it and the feeling they get from doing it. I'm talking about people who do slightly more than a scratch in key spots for attention. I'm not saying your wrong at all. I'm just saying the attention seekers I'm talking about need a bitch slap and a job.I didnt think you really meant you hate them. But no one tends to cut their wrists just for attention.

Meth is a hell of a drug.Stoned farmer comes to mind.

Bipolar 2 has hypomania, it varies from Bipolar 1 by lacking the traditional manic phase. However because the cyclic changes are not as severe and sometimes they retain insight and judgment in the hypomanic state they are under treated or treated incorrectly (usually for endogenous depression).I didnt think you really meant you hate them.

Personality disorders especially histrionic and borderline are the ones you are talking about. There's no really effective treatment yet, sadly. Their attention seeking can end with their own demise and it is very hard to feel sympathy for them. It would be terrible to have any form of mental illness. We do not know enough and we have seemingly stopped investing in the science.Stoned farmer comes to mind.

He crossed my mind every time I posted. He was a character that's for sure.Meth is a hell of a drug.
Hell yeah it's hard to feel sympathy, those people are fucking annoying. Add anger issues and they become impossible to deal with.Bipolar 2 has hypomania, it varies from Bipolar 1 by lacking the traditional manic phase.

Cutting and other forms of self-abuse in Bipolar disorder often occur during the state where the patient is experiencing mixed symptoms of depression and mania and is frequently used for stress relief. I believe you see more self injury with Bipolar 1. That is really nit picking because it's a miserable illness to be subjected to in either form.

Yup it's like here let me show you how to cut correctly. My favorite was them cutting themselves, showing up for sutures and then shrieking over not enough localHell yeah it's hard to feel sympathy, those people are fucking annoying. Add anger issues and they become impossible to deal with.

It's a tough subject indeed.... It's hard to feel sorry for someone who only displays these behaviors when they're drunk or hit a tough spot in life. When it comes to patience and sympathy for the mentally ill. I feel that I most definitely am. I just feel like some people choose to act that way. The ones who are really ill IMO don't make those choices for attention. I totally agree with the fact society has given up. I see seriously sick homeless people with obvious mental illness ...left to fend for themselves. There is a guest home out near my house in the country. The people are allowed to walk around if their behavior is good. I've met some funny characters and have learned a lot about aliens Annie.Bipolar 2 has hypomania, it varies from Bipolar 1 by lacking the traditional manic phase.

Yup and honestly when you were juggling a county ER load on a full moon you were hard pressed to not take some enjoyment in it. Yeah I guess I should have posted this in confessions, sigh. I'm not a saint.Well they were out of their episode by then. It likely hurt.
Those people spend so much time blaming everything besides themselves for all their problems. Constant circles, best to walk away before you get fustrated and say something that's makes the situation worse. That's what I got from my experiences.Yup it's like here let me how you how to cut correctly. My favorite was them cutting themselves, showing up for sutures and then shrieking over not enough local

Very well said, the difference between situational and chronic depression is no joke, my sister has severe chronic depression, whenever she comes to CO I go out of my way to get some killer stuff but sadly she lives in a completely illegal state so she won't take it home with her. She wrote an essay kind of thing on it last year and I wish I could find a copy to post on here. A really in depth look through the eyes of someone actually going through it. @Indacouch i completely agree, with the attention cutters it seems they're also all too happy to fill you in on every supposed horrible detail of their life before you're five minutes into your first ever conversation with them.Everyone gets sad once in a while but real depression is VERY different.
It's hard to explain to people who have never experienced it.
