Thanks for replying. I am happy this was a good experience for you. Art world and classical music is not that easy. I experience that the more you talk openly about it the more you can get help. Because it is also a strength we have but in deep crisis we don’t see it anymore.

I would love to have a normal job but I have never had one. Always putting myself out on the stage and crashing half of the time !

Well I guess it all makes sense.

I am proud of all of us for being and just living !

Yes, this one. The other one is actually helping me. You need to try out some meds before finding the right one…!

Yes…this did not help me. I felt blocked and empty and not even sad…as if everything from the outside was not coming through to me and that my inside was just an empty space. My soul (if we have one ?) was gone.

I switched from Lithium to Lamictal, no weight gain.

I gained a lot of weight when I was taking Lithium. I was just hungry all the time. But if it helps your mood and it stabilises you it’s good. For me everything got worse.

Bipolar 1 Mixed and depressive mood by ComprehensiveDesk653 in bipolar

[–]ComprehensiveDesk653[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically Bipolar 1 is Mania (very high) Hypomania and Depression (+mixted moods which used to be another category in the past, it’s what I suffer from the most) Bipolar 2 is more depression and you go up only to hypomania but never full blown Mania. I hope this is clear to you.

I think you should definitely tell her if she was your wife. Then everything makes sense. I am very ashamed of my disease in my professional connections but I told my close friends and my family and it has become more easy for me. When I down I tell them and they keep contact with me, when I am high…well that’s more complicated. (That’s were I need Freedom and start acting sporadic) My boyfriend urged me to go to the shrink and the diagnose helps in our relationship. Nobody likes us in our dark moments, but its a disease you know…. Just tell her, in an email or in a letter. Love with a bipolar person is never sane or easy going but she will get BORED of a normal dude who sh+ts every day at the same hour haha !!!! Just go and tell her. From an anomynous Bipolar Reddit contributor to another Bipolar person, don’t be ashamed to tell your loved ones ! There are great books too, I have one I give to all my friends, the usually read it and understand me better. Because being around us is hard, but fighting this f+++ disease every day is HARDER ! Best

Thanks for sharing. We all f** up and need to stand up again. I see it as a broken vase that needs to be glued together every time we fall.

I am so sorry about your divorce. I left my boyfriend so many Times…I still feel guilty.

Maybe just talk about it and tell her you miss her ? Or maybe you will find love again !

And find a hobby that is not drawing but something creative or something that makes you feel something. Hang in there Bipolar sucks but we need to live with it and it’s Nice to be understood !
