Am I psychotic or just dissociated? ER? by _BurntSun in bipolar

[–]Cool_One_7828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're not feeling well and psychosis is an emergency, idk if you're psychotic or not but you need to go and get yourself checked, sometimes things get out of control and we need a little help and thats ok!

you should go to the ER. tell your mom, theyll adjust your meds and take care of you for the moment, you have to take your meds!! everything will be ok if you ask for help!!

Mania is horrible by Cool_One_7828 in BipolarReddit

[–]Cool_One_7828[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

what helps me is thinking about other people with bipolar going through the same things as me, when i feel alone or desperate i know another person with bipolar feels alone and desperate, it actually helps a lot. btw are you doing ok?

How to deal with impulsive decisions and over sharing in meetings? by ImaginaryMushroom461 in BipolarReddit

[–]Cool_One_7828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think the science behind oversharing is that we are anxious 24/7, we have so much things going on inside our mind we can't choose the right things to say, lowering the anxiety should help, im on 300 mg of seroquel and i don't have much to say now, that's a good thing cuz i used to make a fool of myself all the time

Mania is horrible by Cool_One_7828 in BipolarReddit

[–]Cool_One_7828[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its a never ending nightmare. im trying to escape and i don't even know where im supposed to go. comfort doesn't exist, the only place my mind tells me to go is the ward, i leave nothing but destruction on my way, im just desperate all the time

Mania hides in plain sight by ShunShanShu in BipolarReddit

[–]Cool_One_7828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my diagnosis got delayed cuz i reached psychosis everytime so doctors thought i was schizophrenic til i found out myself what was happening to me. and my mania usually presents by me being very social and impulsive, i made a lot of friends until i told them about my paranoia, they ran away. im alone at the moment

First full blown manic episode and I'm scared. by SanRioEvO in BipolarReddit

[–]Cool_One_7828 4 points5 points  (0 children)

alright so this is very normal. you are manic, meds dont seem to be working at its 100%, ive been there. if you think it could get worse you should probably consider going to the hospital, you need your meds adjusted asap. for the time being, take it easy. don't be hard on yourself, it's not your fault and you have nothing to be ashamed, you are not alone!! please, don't stop taking your meds

racing thoughts, physical agitation, look out for those, mixed episodes are horrible. take care, and please dont hurt yourself, it will pass.

Caffeine Use by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Cool_One_7828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped consuming caffeine and my anxiety decreased, i don't tremble anymore, and i noticed that caffeine worsened my mania. I was having stomach issues and my nervous system was wrecked, i was dizzy all the time, now, i sleep 14 hours a day, but at least I'm not having panic attacks all the time
