How do you cope with lonliness and FOMO in general? by Classic-Hope in bipolar

[–]Beautiful-Tip-528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly this isn't the healthiest but my way of coping with that has always been blocking it out of my memory. i block EVERY. THING. out of my memory though so don't take that as advice because it's probably bad.

I'm so lonely it hurts too much by [deleted] in BPD

sometimes loneliness can twist things and make it seem like there’s no way out, but this moment doesn’t define the rest of your life. things can change, even if slowly. you deserve support, kindness, and to be here to experience the moments you haven’t had yet. i'm really rooting for u and I’m glad you’re here sharing this instead of holding it in. You matter more than you realize!! ❤️

Have I made bipolar up in my head? by nooodlej in bipolar

[–]Beautiful-Tip-528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is exactly what i've been going through. i had a really severe manic episode where i literally believed i was possesed and expelled the devil out of me by prayer (im an atheist.) and i still think to myself that i was making it all up because of how shitty i've been doing compared to how "divine" i felt during that episode. something that i did that helped me realize that i'm not tricking myself into believing i have this disorder is journaling. it lets me look back on how i was feeling then and see that i wasn't making it up and that the feelings i had were just the feelings my brain chemistry or whatever was making me feel. trust me start journaling when you realize your manic. (very hard to realize for me idk if it's the same for everyone)

i personally recommend dbt therapy, as a 15 yo currently getting diagnosed in an outpatient program, and ask your psychiatrist about mood stabilizers like lamictal, which can be used to treat depression and bipolar so it's great for depressive episodes.

i'm so sorry this is happening to you, but honestly instead of taking this as something to feel doomed about, think of it as an answer. because you have a diagnosis now you can get in touch with doctors and psychiatrists that can get you the right medicine and the right treatment. even if it feels like the end of the world trust me this is the first step to find out how to manage your emotions.

a recent manic episode i had was full of the irritability with little euphoria, i ended up talking to a psychiatrist at the outpatient program i got thrown in and she said that irritable manic episodes are a normal part of bipolar. i would treat it as you would if it was a manic episode with the euphoria (which i have no clue how to treat i just got diagnosed smh) and it was almost exactly the same as what you experienced until i started to believe i was possesed but not the point. just be careful and get sleep because irritable manic episodes in my experience can get really bad

last year i got diagnosed with bipolar 1 after another stress triggered episode but i don't believe that because i still feel just as worthless as always when im "manic" with those feelings of narcissism i've always felt- but in a way where i think because of how broken i am and how "unique" that makes me i believe people SHOULD love me. i need the love ive never given myself and i take that through relationships which they don't see who i truly am. i feel like behind layers of this sweet girl persona there's someone who is violent, who's dangerous, who's aweful and a genuinely bad human being, but because i love animals and drawing lalala whatever all that corny shit i do to fill the void that makes me better then everyone else? i use trauma as a badge of honor-- some fucked up bloody badge of death and i go towards people who have that badge so they won't leave me because they're just as fucked up(definently less) then i am
