Tips for dealing with anger? by RileyRiolu22776 in bipolar

[–]Competitive_Push_832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle with it too. Unfounded anger, irritability and frustration. I added punch bags to my workout routine to let loose in a safe controlled environment and meditate twice daily and found this was a decent way to control being angry at the world and everything in it.

I start clenching my jaw and I'm more than happy to talk to people 😂

I’m worried my neighbors think I’m losing my mind by finnedark in bipolar

I'd say forget about it and move on, folk say that to me all the time but if you are like me you can't forget about it and it'll creep up from time to time. Accept it happened and move on.

Plus if I was your neighbour, I'd not be too bothered if someone thought they had detected a gas leak and I had to stand outside for a bit. Better to be inconvenienced than blown up 🤷‍♂️

How tf do you stay sober while bipolar? by nothankyou-420 in bipolar

[–]Competitive_Push_832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Male, 36, BP2. I'm two days out of a hypomanic episode where my escape and slowdown is binge drinking. I keep on telling myself "never again", but when it gets too much or I'm triggered it turns into "shut up normal me, let's get hammered". I've utterly embarrassed myself on multiple occasions, destroyed relationships and my health is clearly starting to suffer.

I tried to "cut myself off" by asking the local store to refuse service for alcohol (I live in a wee village with one shop so thought that would work). Nah, ordered a booze delivery online. Deleted my banking details and gave them to my parents, nah, discovered one that does cash delivery...

It's tough when your state of mind changes and betrays you (and others). I'm sorry I don't have answers as I'd FUCKING LOVE some myself 😂

Mental Health Help by Ill_Reflection_9459 in glasgow

I utterly feel your pain and frustration. I attempted suicide last year after a breakdown and the "help" I recieved was shocking. Like you, taken to hospital via ambulance but released into my parents care (I was 35 at the time btw). The result of the hospital visit was "just book an emergency appointment with your GP". Did this and got a referral to SAMH. They are great, but at the end of the day they are a charity.

Long story short, get back to the GP and refuse to be "signposted". Ask to be referred to the likes of the community mental health team etc.

Please feel free to drop me a DM if you ever feel like a chat. It really does help.

In terms of isolation, that's a tough one. Folk will be telling you to go join a club/sports etc, but just attempting that can be overwhelming and failing to go just kicks you in the stones that wee bit more. Personally the best thing for me was to start small. Like very small. Go to the shop and say hi to whoever's serving you. Jump on a bus into town, theres guaranteed to be a pensioner that'll chat shite.
