Topic	I think I might be Bipolar or something : /
darkknight109 11/04/17 1:19:08 AM #17:	LeetCheet posted... I've been diagnosed with depression before so I guess it came back in full force then. Entirely possible. From what you've posted, it definitely sounds like there's something going on. LeetCheet posted... I probably need to talk with a professional again as my girlfriend has no idea how depression works. Definitely not an uncommon thing. Hell, my sisters barely understood how my mother's bipolar disorder worked (granted, it got a lot worse after they moved out, so I don't think they ever got the same firsthand experience I did). LeetCheet posted... I remember couple of years ago, I wanted to be less introverted and have more than two friends. Now I am considerably less introverted as I'm having a much easier time talking to other people and even strangers, as well as having more friends. But instead of being happy, I'm just getting frustrated because there are so many people preying on my time and energy because I want to do other stuff like playing videogames and watch movies by myself or with my closest friends(but they barely have any time like myself). Be careful that you're not falling into one of society's traps. Society tends to associate more friends with more happiness, and assumes that anyone with only a few friends must be unhappy, but that isn't necessarily true for everyone. Introverts - the clinical definition of which is "someone who draws energy from being alone and expends it while being around others" - tend to have fewer friends, but the relationships they do have are generally closer and more robust than extroverts. The big question to ask yourself is simply if you are happy with what you have. There is no need to put yourself out there for anyone else's sake if you are content as-is. Some people will be happy with just two or three friends in their life; others want a few dozen. LeetCheet posted... I've even been considering breaking up with my girlfriend because sometimes she pisses me off so much when she never seems to listen to me and what I say. I try to tell her about the issues in our relationship and her faults and how she can fix them but she just gets angry whenever I do. It really seems like she's incapable of learning from her mistakes. Definitely discuss this with whatever professional you go visit - something about this statement is ringing weird for me, and the armchair-psychologist in me thinks it may be related to your depression. But yes, definitely go talk to someone about your concerns, since it sounds like this isn't your first brush with depression. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.
