Re: True Hope For Bi-Polar Suffering Canadians
Ah now we are getting somewhere!!I thought so !!
Does bipolar come with jealousy?
Best Answer - Chosen
Yes, during the depressive phase of bipolar disorder cycles, jealousy can be quite common. You see, jealousy becomes a common issue when we are feeling inferior, depressed, vulnerable, upset, etc. That's when people are most likely to look at others and say, "I wish I had that, I wish I were like that, I wish people treated me like that," etc. So, yes, during that depressive phase of bipolar disorder, it's common. I hope that helps, and I hope you are actively engaging in counseling as well as taking medications for your psychiatric disorder.

Symptoms that Might Predict First Episode of Mania
http://psychcentral.com/news/2010/0...ght-predict-first-episode-of-mania/16213.html
Is it possible to prevent a bipolar patient’s first episode of mania before it even happens?
Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric condition characterized by alternating periods of depression (low mood) and mania, or hypomania (a milder form of mania). Mania is diagnosed when three of more of the following symptoms are present; an elevated, agitated, or irritable mood, a decreased need for sleep, an increased need to talk, racing thoughts or lots of ideas, abnormally high self-esteem, difficulty focusing attention, an increased in goal-directed activity or difficulty sitting still, and reckless involvement in pleasurable activities (like sexual indiscretions, or excessive spending). Sometimes people with mania can also experience psychosis, a condition in which one has delusions (mistaken beliefs), hallucinations, and temporarily loses contact with reality.

Learning About Your Jealous Feelings
Sometimes we become jealous of someone because we want what they have, but to have it without contrast we tend to try to belittle them for having it. What we don't realize is that we are also belittling ourselves and others see it.
It is becoming quite clear now!!Poor Joe thinks no one else can see it.We are here to help Joe!!

Re: True Hope For Bi-Polar Suffering Canadians
Now you have to remember that being a night watchman is a very important job.If you was not there to guard the toilet supplies someone would steal them all.
Great job Joe of guarding them.Well done.
Now you must realize that this is a job that someone has to do and you fill it perfectly.
Take a nap and we will come back and continue to work on your envy and jealousy and help you with your problems.I am here to help you buddy.

Re: True Hope For Bi-Polar Suffering Canadians
You are still awake??Now quit being so defiant or I will have to get your Mother in here to set you straight young man!!
Now how can I help you with this attitude?If you do not get any sleep you will start 3 or 4 anti union threads in a gambling forum and continue to show your jealousy and envy.Look at all the good information in this thread and let us help you.Now as we have learned a lack of sleep with your bi polar condition will make you start showing your jealous side and that is not good for you.
Keep your head up and realize that someday you too can have a good paying job with hard work and a education but spamming a gambling site with your envy is not helping your well being.[really it is embarrassing ]
So for the last time go get some sleep buddy and take your medication and this will all go away with our help .We are here for you pal!!
