Bipolar Behavior: Acting a Bit Bipolar Are You?

Bipolar disorder is all about highs and lows. Sometimes, you feel like you're the king of the world. Other times, you feel like you're the grime on the boots of the king of the world. The way that a bipolar person behaves varies between the disorders various stages.

Bipolar behavior is inconsistent. The are two phases of bipolar disorder that occur for the longest. They are called mania and depression. There is another one called hypomania but it is hardly noticable as it occurs for a very short time. This is the bipolar state where a person acts the most behaved. In this state, the person thinks very clearly and is relaxed.

Now, onto the main stages of this disorder. The behavior of a bipolar person during the stage of mania is just as the name suggests. The person is manic. The person is jittery and seems to feel no fatigue. A bipolar person in this state keeps constantly active, burning up the hours with countless activities, and taking no time to rest.

Atfer this string of energy-filled activity, the person burns out. Then the next stage kicks in. When a person shifts to the stage of depression, all the fatigue that he or she should have felt in the mania days kick in. The person then behaves in a way of a loner.

In the depressed phase, a person becomes a wallowing recluse. He or she experiences feeling of self-hatred, regret, anger, sadness and any other negative emotion that may arise. These feeling last for longer than the mania.
