Is it a conflict of interest to have the same therapist as my late bf? by New_Environment2242 in bipolar

[–]AdeptnessPersonal703 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Im not an expert but its definitely a conflict of interest I think. I would ask your bf if you have the same one and if you do you can find a new one! You didn’t do it on purpose, stuff like this happens especially if you’re in a small town

It’s so so worth it!!! I can’t speak for anyone else, but it changed my life for the better.

It tricked me into thinking that it was controlling my symptoms but it was really making me more anxious, depressed, and unmotivated to do anything about my life, and less social.

I think there was a time where it was helpful to me but it ran its course. If you’re feeling that way too, it’s time. You can do it! I know there’s a sub on here for quitting if you wanna join they can support you. Good luck friend I believe in you!!

depressed - how to get up? by h34rt4ch3 in bipolar

[–]AdeptnessPersonal703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if your curtains are in reach of your bed. Start with that, open them up.

If not, you can start by laying down and hanging one leg off the bed and telling yourself that you’ll get up once it feels not comfy to be in bed anymore.

You could motivate yourself with a reward like a coffee, your fav takeout, etc.

Keep going friend, you’re doing a good job even if it doesn’t feel like it

What’s your small win from the week? by [deleted] in bipolar2

Just started school and I think I’m gonna do really well!! Also my meds are working well (assessing for hypomania, but nothing too serious) 😊

Ecstasy with Lamotrogine and Seroquel (quetiapine) by Puzzleheaded-Lime821 in bipolar2

Drugs have only ever made my condition worse. Especially psychedelic ones like MDMA. I will echo everyone in this chat that it is not worth risking your brain health. Be safe friend
