Bipolar Disorde
"I&#039;m only 14 and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 12. My parents really didn&#039;t want me on any medication, but after my last suicide attempt that almost killed me in the hospital, I had to be on it.
It has helped me SO MUCH. I used to be on the verge on killing myself most days, but now I don&#039;t have suicidal thoughts as often anymore, even though my problems are still here. I can now actually sleep most days, I can concentrate better in class, I don&#039;t have racing thoughts as often, etc. I still get really angry sometimes though and a bit violent. I think the only thing I hate is that when it kicks in at night I feel awful. I&#039;m currently on 400 mg."
