First of all, yes, there are people here, but this guild is a little bit infrequent in active members.
Of course, would you expect anything different from a group of bipolar disorder diagnosee's?

Absolutely. Too many people are "self diagnosed" as Bi-polar, which kind of hurts the rest of us who definately are bipolar. By hurt I mean it's effects are minimized by half of society claiming every person with personality shifts is bi-polar. It sucks when you have a serious crash, can't find the energy or the will to put your feet on the floor, and your employer is telling you to take a pill and get into work....as if it worked that way.
The things you've described experiencing can be any number of things...a million different personality disorders, many different neurological disorders...honestly from your post, it seems just as likely that your schizophrenic- what with the voices, mood swings and he paranoia...what made you stop at bi-polar? Ask any Bi-polar diagnosee on this board if they think their life is "fine", without medication, therapy or some form of serious support system. I get by without meds, but I have a seriously intense support system, a therapy group, adjusted diet and excercise regime..all of which keep me functional.
I'm not saying you are or you aren't..I'm just saying you need to see a doctor, get under some care and find out if it's really the problem. Do yourself a favor, don't stick yourself with the label...let a doctor do that for you.
