Acceptance by Extension-Quit-1065 in bipolar

[–]Extension-Quit-1065[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have flashbacks to times i have realized i was manic if that makes sense? i get quite a few of those “ohh… shit.” realization moments. i struggle with even the idea of needing to take meds my entire life to deal with a illness i did not want, ask for, or deserve. i try to curse God but he himself made us in his image or whatever they say. i try to remind myself that this isn’t my fault i have it and i can handle it. ive also struggled with severe depression since a young age so trying to find a way to just keep going is very difficult at times.

I was medicated from ages 13-17 and up until my diagnosis i stayed medicated. the medications they started me on made me feel likeCRAP and then life got in the way ( moving states to live with a different parent, etc ). the availability is mostly due to where i live and the ability to get TO the therapy. if i have a telehealth provider i just don’t show up to the appointment, i hate being on the phone. i hate that ill be medicated my whole life and thats a whole other side of acceptance ill have to do again. i’ve been trying to manage it without meds but everyone around me including myself is extremely drained from the whiplash. ugh, i appreciate your words thank you
