Feeling ill, tired, dizzy, faintish?

Lately, I’ve been feeling sick to my stomach, but not like nausea. I’ve been dizzy, I feel like I’m high on some drug, at points. I feel like I might faint, but I never do. I’ve been sleeping a lot. I feel really off. I don’t like it.
I’m not pregnant, I had done a pregnancy test and I had gotten my period a little later than normal, but I’m irregular so I wasn’t much surprised.
I have bipolar, does this do anything? I don’t take meds. I’ve been emotionally off lately.. but it’s been getting to a more normal stage.
Any ideas?

Has anyone ever been prescribed bipolar medication combined with a weight loss aid?

If you were over weight but have bipolar have you ever had a dr. give you a weight loss medication in combination with your bipolar meds? Does it work? Would it be bad side effects?

What weight loss supplements can people with Bipolar condition take?

I would like to know specifically what supplements to help aid weight loss for Bipolar people on weight gaining Bipolar medication (which slows the metabolism and increases appetitite)

I already know of Green Tea to speed up metabolism and suppress appetite and Acai Berry DOES help you look a bit thinner in the face and relieves minimal bloat if taken moderately.

What other supplements are safe?

I want as much help as i can get!
Thanks!

Insomnia and Bipolar disorder?

Are they the result of the other being present?
for example, is insomnia one of the symptoms for bipolar and vice versa? If so, which ever order it may be, how would you know if you’re experiencing these? What are the main symptoms?

-I have rapid mood swings, I get depressed for no reason and it lasts about 1 1/2 to 2 days, then i’m fine again.

-I get about 5 to 6 hours of sleep a night, roughly since i wake up a lot in that time frame.

-sometimes i can go 2 to 3 days without sleeping and feel perfectly fine then i just crash and have no energy.

-I’m very uncoordinated and very forgetful, i cant concentrate in school.

-I find myself being sort of anti social on occasion, wanting to be alone not even with my friends. but i’m usually a very social person otherwise.

-Is there a certain age where these disorders come about? I’m 15 years old.

I would just like some opinions of what could be wrong with me, so i have an idea and what could be causing this at my age.
also, i’ve dealt with a lot of death this summer.
of family and a close friend, and death is a great fear of mine, could that be it, and will it pass?

So do I sound Schizophrenic?

Lately I had a Psychotic episode. I completely lost sense of reality, I felt different to everyone else and felt like I was being watched and people where out to get me, I was scared and I could not control my own thoughts, I have a voice in my head which is not mine, it comments all the time on what I am doing but I don’t control it, I think about things I don’t want to, and I am scared to make eye contact with people because I feel like they can read my mind.

I used to think that the Devil put the thoughts in my head, I feel like the world is against me and I see shadows running along walls and I believe that Ghosts are following me, never letting me rest, they’re always there. I constantly have to be on the lookout for Ghosts, and sometimes I hear people shouting my name, but nobody is there.

I never smile and I react to things inn appropriately and sometimes I am seen as cold, because I laugh at things when I get nervous, and if anyone looks at me in the slightest way I get really paranoid and think they want to kill me, I suffer from Severe Anxiety and was recently detained and was in a Mental Hospital for 3 weeks. It drove me mad in there.

I was already on an Antidepressant, but now I’m on an Anti-Psychotic which treats Schizophrenia and Bipolar, I am really clumsy and get really frustrated easily and have angry outbursts, I am really sensitive and my moods constantly shift and I can love someone one minute and they mean the world to me and the next minute I despise them, I have a fear of abandonment and always have nightmares that I’ll be left alone one day.

I sometimes feel like I am on a mission and I am the only real person in the world and I wonder if people are really alive like me, I know it sounds weird, I feel like I’m not going anywhere and I can pace up and down a room for ages because I do not know what I have to do, my thoughts race and my Mum says I always mess up on my sentences and say things which seem sensible but I am really just very random and the things I say have nothing to do with any situation.

Pictures of people scare me, as does looking in the mirror, I feel like the eyes are staring into my soul and it makes me uncomfortable. I feel like everyone is against me and that I am alone in the world, and I get really obsessive with my religion, I don’t know how to be a normal person and feel like someone controls my thoughts. Am I Schizophrenic? My brother suggested I was and the Anti-Psychotic I’m on is for it and Bipolar?
