You can't believe everything that's up on Wikipedia. I'm bipolar myself...clinically diagnosed and I'm not a cutter and never have been. Bipolar has nothing to do with pain. It deals w/ extreme mood swings.

Okay, so you like the rush of cutting & pain. That doesn't necessarily mean that you're bipolar. When you're bipolar you could be totally happy one second, and then screaming and trying to pull your hair out the next.

Cutting yourself is retarded. Why in the hell do you do it? See a counselor to stop [even if you don't want to] because serious consequences come with cutting. Trust me. You get these ugly scars, and you've gotta cover yourself up all the time so nobody finds out. You get teased when people do find out, and you could eventually kill yourself, whether it was on purpose, or on accident.

I like body piercings too. I usually do mine myself, but I'm getting one professionally done sometime this week. Just because you like piercings does not mean you're bipolar.

You kids & these crazy ideas you get.

well; i like body piercings too; and anything with pain. but i'm not bipolar. my friend is bipolar and what it is simpily is one second your completely normal and then in 1/2 of a second you start flipping out going crazy for NO reason at all.

example: if your going down the hall all happy and then you look up and just start flipping out on some random guy = bipolar

if your going down the hall happy and some random guy bumps into you and you start flipping out = doenst' mean your bipolar

if you think your bipolar talk to an adult and see a doctor. but when people cut it doens't mean their bipolar because it gives them a rush. if you need anything else ask :)

i'm not bipolar myself, but there's a good website that can help you out. here's the site-

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

read that & see if any of that relates to how you feel. if it does, i would suggest going to the doctor. cutting is a major issue & should not be used as an effective way to relieve stress or depression. it does not solve any of your problems even if you feel good for a moment or two. just read up on the articles [you can also google more] & you should see a therapist to deal with any of those things.

-hope that helped!♥

I don't think you're really bipolar. Wikipedia isn't actually too reliable since people can enter any information they want on there. If you really think you're bipolar, try looking up Bipolar Disorder on WebMD.com. They have more accurate information.

I know how you feel, body piercings are pretty cool. I got my nose pierced. But maybe deep down, there is a deeper reason for why you cut yourself. What's going on in your life right now? Do you feel like you fit in with kids at your school? Do you fight with your parents alot? Any of these reasons could be reasons why you are cutting yourself. Sometimes we don't know why we do certain things. Sometimes I don't know why I cry. But in our sub concious, we know the real reasons for what we do.

Bipolar Disorder is when you're happy for a week, and then very depressed the next week. Since you said you're not depressed, I doubt you're Bipolar. Besides, if you're a teen, it's normal to feel weird like that. I would look into other reasons why you might be cutting yourself. Maybe you just like danger, and cutting yourself makes you feel alive, like you're taking a risk. That might be why you cut yourself. But still, it's not healthy to so you should look up information about it. Also look information up about OCD. I sugguest WebMD. Hope I helped!
