I always get a grin on my face when people self-diagnose.

I wonder about this, if God knows my future, do i have free will then? If God already knows whats going to happen, my choices are already made ..There goes my precious free will gift... then living also seems pointless, why stick me on this planet if my outcome is already decided. Why not bump me directly to first class or straight down to the pit?
oh, and ur a toss box...
i just discovered this thread.
i just have this to say about morphine, it is horrible, horrible, horrible. i just hate that feeling of not being in control of your mind or your own body. i've had more than my fair share of operations and the past few times i have almost taken the anaethetist by the throat and told him if he gives me morphine while i'm under, when i come completely round, firstly his bill won't get paid and secondly he won't live to tell the tale.

About two years ago I went for a simple op, and after being woken, I found that i couldn't move at all. Nor could I swallow or speak. This lasted only a short while but it was as close to drowning as I had ever gotten. It was a horrific experience.
After maybe a minute or so (can't be sure) they finally heard the gurgling sounds and sucked out the excess fluid. I was so pissed off.
I now prefer to avoid the operating room all together.
Don't like not being in control.

I had some crazy painkiller last time I had surgery and I absolutely loved it. 
My doctor wants to diagnose me with Bipolar, and then my very intelligent-but-not-so-smart-best-friend seems to want to agree with the doctor.
I do not believe that I do have Bipolar.
I have come to like my so called "sunny disposition".
And if that means that (should I ever get diagnosed) I am not naturally like this, it is all because of a chemical imbalance in my brain then so be it!
I say, Cheers to that my friend! If having Bipolar makes me happy and puts me on a natural high, helps me deal with life's issues a little bit easier than most then whats so wrong with it?
As long as I'm not harming myself or anyone/anything else, it's all good!
Yes, there are times that I act a little disturbing, but hey, that's life and at least it keeps people guessing!
I wish more people could experience life the way that I do!
As for drugs and bipolar, now that is something else! Stay away! Been there, done that, got addicted, although I will never openly admit it, but, managed to find my way out before things got out of control!

Apparently there are different types of Bipolar, and they recon I have the "Happy" Bipolar, I am unnaturally happy for long periods of time, I mean, nothing gets me down, I always have a smile and always have loads of fun! The so called "down" only hits me like once or twice in say, 3 months, and then it only last for a few hours or so. I then usually lock myself in my bedroom where no one can bother me and cry for those few hours, I do feel worthless and all the other jazz that comes with depression, but have never had a suicidal thought, I believe that I am stronger than that! So in essence, a few hours of depression in exchange for +/- 3 months of absolute bliss........... Hell yeah, I'm ok with that!

Never heard of a happy bipolar - but I'm not medical expert. Sounds like it may be something else?
My ex used to be manic for months (hurts those around her, as every action is motivated by selfishness) and then end up zombie like lying in the psyciatric ward for 3 weeks unable to do anything herself.

I second that.

Bipolar 2 Disorder...
No manic episodes, but one or more hypomanic episodes and one or more major depressive episode.[75] However, a Bipolar II diagnosis is not a guarantee that they will not eventually suffer from such an episode in the future.[citation needed] Hypomanic episodes do not go to the full extremes of mania (i.e., do not usually cause severe social or occupational impairment, and are without psychosis), and this can make Bipolar II more difficult to diagnose, since the hypomanic episodes may simply appear as a period of successful high productivity and is reported less frequently than a distressing, crippling depression.

I am almost exactly the same except that I never cry
