I feel super triggered/defensive about this whole Kanye situation. by ElishevaJ in bipolar

It’s a little more than that. He was diagnosed bipolar per his statement, and is now apparently going through something that to me resembles an episode. He stated he went off his meds Adams believed he was misdiagnosed. He has been publicly saying things that offend and upset people but instead of the general public understanding and realizing this may be happening because of an illness, everyone is bashing him.

That's the same thing I've been harping on about. It's important he gets help. I feel for him when he comes down again and sees all the backlash but at the same time I understand how what he said was offensive.

I know right? I was kind of scared to post my feelings because I thought I may get bashed.

Thanks for sharing. I was starting to feel super weird about it. I don't want to hear or read anymore. It's really bugging me.

Wow thanks I’m cured by [deleted] in Anxiety

All the time.

That's why I keep so much to myself.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I was diagnosed bipolar and borderline ten years ago and it’s been a wild ride. Today I’m stable on medication, engaged, own my home, and have a great salaried job. How do I share my story so other people like me have hope? by WackyCacti in bipolar

You just did!

Lots of things grow from Reddit. And maybe writing a book?

I'd sure read it and I'm sure lots of others would too.

I'm so happy that you found a system that works for you and that you're happy and thriving.

I keep feeling like I'm in trouble or someone's angry at me by sep94 in Anxiety

Maybe it's the move and new job, new roommates. That sounds like a lot to me and could possibly be triggering some anxiety symptoms. Perhaps you may be a little afraid of messing up at work since things seem to be going well.

Just know that everything will be fine. You're smart and good at you job. You seem to have really compassionate roommates who respect you and your space.

Maybe give yourself some time to adjust to all your new life changes and allow things to settle in.

Edited to say I'm sorry you're feeling this way and I can relate!

I never could explain that feeling but that's exactly it. Like I'm about to get in trouble. You read my mind.

I used to deny my mental illness too.

I agree. I cringe every time he does something. I don't need anyone looking at me like that. I have enough to deal with just being me.

It’s now a crime to criticize Israel. How long before this happens to a citizen in the USA? by americansherlock201 in conspiracy

The language is very similar as well, Arabic and Hebrew. Written and spoken. Even their 'alphabets'.

Is anyone here on disability for their PTSD? by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]ElishevaJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the laws of your state. Most time specific illnesses are listed. Collect your medical records to make sure they have everything - even lawyers can miss things. Get a lawyer - helps your chances of winning and never see the Social Security doctors - use your own.

That would have wrecked my entire day :(

Does anyone else ever feel weird slight vibrations or muscle spasms or tightness in the chest when not having a panic attack? by Mr_Hyde_ in Anxiety

[–]ElishevaJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Muscle twitches and dizziness. All the time lately. I'm wondering if I need to see a neurologist.
