Answers:
Everyone's experiences are a little different and it's hard to get a surface for it from someone posting on yahoo answers.
Read the book "Madness: A Bipolar Life" by Marya Hornbacher. She explains the various ups and downs and her means to solve it (which ended up hurting her more contained by the end). You can gain more from that book than you can from anyone on yahoo.
You experience days, weeks or months of depression followed by feeling ardent to do everything an anything.
People experience the low periods in different ways, but all surface will question their self worth, feel incapable of completing tasks, experience sleep problems and will find social situations extremely difficult. When depressed they will need to sneak stale alone a lot to deal with their thoughts. They will cogitate of suicide but are unlikely to do anything because they believe that they can be happy.
A big problem for all depressives is that people will pinch advantage of them. Depressed peole will avoid conflict and are seen as weak by the cheats and bullies of the world. When depressed this doesn't form much differnce, but when the manic phase returns it means the suferers is startiong with a lower reputation an less resources than they should be.
Bi-polar populace are by necessity creative and understanding of others. It may not always seem that mode but they are.
Some days are good some days are impossible but some are so bad its all you can do to stop your self screaming. I have have times when i have been so close to the edge that adjectives I've wanted to do is lay down and die because i felt so crap,
It is totally inexplicable; It`s about mood swings and not always being competent to strike a happy medium. One has lows for completely no reason whatsoever & highs which vary considerably too. It is said that race who suffer with BPD are usually very creative & this theory is borne out by the full-size number of celebrities & artists who are afflicted to one degree or another.
What does it surface like? I have had it for as long as I can remember. I remember when I be about 7 I told my father I never smiled. He said of course you do! Which shut down all communtication right after and there. Of course at the time I had no idea why I be different, I just knew I was.
Basically at hand are two types of BPD. There is the one that makes you do very extreme things. Such as sex in public, ferocity, and general mania followed by intense feelings of sorrow and thoughts of suicide.
Then at hand is the one I have which basically swings back and forth but not as unpromising as the first type. You will have feeling of not "belonging" in the world. There is saddness and even thoughts of sucide. Sleeping go on for hours and hours. Then you can swing to the other side which is mania. You feel like things are in reality going great; you'll go on mania behaviour. You'll want to verbs, have fun, hardly sleep.
I take two medication for the "disorder" and one for anxiety as I have HIGH anxiety. I am very creative as others mentioned here. MANY "famous" people concordat with BPD or some other "disorder". I personally refuse to believe of it as a disorder because it helps define who I am. I am not a disorder, I am simply me.
