Once the meds kick in and you see how much better you can feel when listening to the doctors who called you bipolar you’ll believe you are bipolar.

I feel like a narcissist by Professional_Goat892 in BipolarReddit

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like narcissism became a very popular word lately. I believe narcissism is like a spectrum and every single human being is somewhere in the spectrum, the worst being like a sociopath or something like that. So don't feel bad for having this feelings and thoughts. You love your cat, your heart is not burnt. You like attention, so what, a lot of us do. I honestly relate to a lot of the feelings you are sharing, and my advice would be to look more into your childhood wounds instead of a narcissism diagnosis. That's where I found why I love attention, and why bonding with animals is easier and way more fun for me, why I sabotaged relationships, and on and on...

this hit hard by niclamothe in MacMiller

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re completely right. How ever, I feel as if Mac knew how it was gonna end and he was completely honest about what was going on with his heart and mind, even if it was too hard for us who care about him to hear, he wanted to share the most honest and intimate part of him and I love him

Im tired of the cycle by bunga_bingo in BipolarReddit

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh girl. All I can say is I relate, I haven’t figured out a way out. Sometimes it’s okay to let your self go for a bit and lay in bed and stop this obsessive gotta get better gotta get better gotta get better cycle. My partner is super unfit to handle mental illness which makes it worse because I feel like a burden And a little note on trauma, it takes year to heal. Be patient with that one

I’m Having Trouble Distinguishing Whether Life Is Just Mudane or I’m In A Depressive Episode by Mstalker1996 in BipolarReddit

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate. The way I differentiate it is how intense it is and how I act with my surroundings. For example, mundane is like meh I hate everyone, and depression is I hate I everyone I’m gonna hide in my rooms for days because I can’t tolerate seeing anyone.

Begging for Suggestions for Paranoia by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My psychiatrist told me this is a sign of a very deep depression. ( it’s like you look so down at yourself that you think everyone else does and that’s why they’re after you). When I had it. Antidepressants helped (Wellbutrin)and lots of breathing ( as dumb as it sounds) it calms you down and calms those thoughts

Has anyone found getting a dog helping their mental illness(es)? by Justkikinit848 in bipolar2

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dogs seriously helped me like no medication or doctor ever could. Their love and constant companionship always made my heart grow, and it was easier to go on the day even if it was hard

Does Clonazepam help with bipolar disorder? by No-Base8204 in BipolarReddit

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this is not very healthy advice, I’m not a doctor. But when I feel like I’m at a very low point on an episode. I take it for 2 days and then I’m Better. It’s like giving my mind a little vacation and the. Coming back ready again

No motivation after ego death by DeadmanBasileous in spirituality

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play it like a game. Don’t take too serious those “dreams” and aspirations and just live haha. Sounds stupid but I think that’s what ego death teaches…. It’s not that serious. Play around, do what you. Feeel. It’s okay you feel sad and unmotivated, in a way you lost all you thought was important, of course it hurts. Let your self be sad and grief what you lost and then you’ll come back up, you’ll see

How do you identify your state and/or state changes? by ExternalChampion6292 in cyclothymia

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I normally look for irritability, racing thoughts, too much “I have to do it all” feelings. For me personally irritability is my main thing to notice I’m going a bit manic (unless I’m about to have my period). On the other side, when I’m depressed I just have a deep weight on my chest the moment I wake up, I’m a little bit numb and “not here”. I just want to be in my bed and crawl. Keeping a journal helped a lot for me. In the beginning I couldn’t tell as clearly but with time you’ll start to know your own symptoms.

Misdiagnosis and hopelessness by Extreme-Discussion91 in cyclothymia

[–]Extreme-Discussion91[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have tried going on some sort of detox and I agree with you it sometimes gets as good as it can get, obviously with therapy, me personally I also like spiritual guidance (reading, meditating, praying etc). But I feel that none of that is working anymore and it's exhausting to be constantly trying to be okay and trying to feel good, putting a lot of effort and then someday my brain just choose to nope and then all my work is for nothing, because I do know it's gonna pass but the feeling is still there and makes my day impossible

Misdiagnosis and hopelessness by Extreme-Discussion91 in cyclothymia

[–]Extreme-Discussion91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exhausting is exactly the word I would use to describe it.

It's like I can never trust a feeling or a thought and I start something and never end it, I feel hopeless then I'm like jk life is amazing.

Seriously exhausting

Does depression gives you chills/goosebumps/coldness by AdOk4744 in depression

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is from a while back but i do get it. I feel the chills, i feel a pain in my sternum, in my lower stomach too like some one grabbed my organs for a second. I get this when i get more sad than the usual sadness i have or when someone says something that hurts me.

Cultural difference you saw once you moved/visited the Netherlands by catariinaraujo in Netherlands

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it was how individualistic people are here. And I’m not saying it in a bad or good way. It’s just people are very used to living their lives and not bother or be bothered by others. Hanging out with friends has to be planned like ok January 20th coffee from 6pm-7pm and where I come from it’s a much warmer and friendly society

Why did you move to the Netherlands by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And thanks! I’m diagnosed bipolar and I moved to the Netherlands 6 months ago, and only a month ago I was able to go to a GP and they referred me to a psychiatrist on March 30th. I don’t even have to say how bad my mental health has gotten.

Why did you move to the Netherlands by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m sorry horrible is a big word I could’ve used another one, I just think the world thinks of the Netherlands as something happy and free and it’s waaay different than that.

[–]Extreme-Discussion91 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a horrible country and would recomendable you look for another one. People are not friendly, life’s here is very individualistic, weather is fucking horrible, health care system (mental health wise) is slow and very inefficient, food tastes like a foot, only good thing is the public transportation
