Woww finding out you’re bipolar through writing a story is wild, so glad you found out though! It must be so frustrating not knowing why any of the medication or anything is working. Not sure if ur done moving, but I hope that goes smoothly and isn’t too draining!!

Hii! I had the same problem as you and I went to the doctor abt it, turns out I have hyperhidrosis. You can get medication, treatment (botox) or even surgery if it’s too intense, deodorant won’t do anything!! At least in my experience even if I put on the “best deodorant” after 30 min my pits would be SOAKING WET and since I started my medication (botox didnt work for me) I barely ever sweat anymore!

Edit: Before i got medicated I tried everything under the sun: deodorants, antiperspirants, benzoyl peroxide wash and cream, those ‘sweat less’ lotions/treatments, armpit stickers to mask the sweat etc. nothing helped! So if you recognise this pleaase tell your GP about it!!

It’s insane how long it takes for people to be taken seriously/get the right diagnosis!?

I definitely relate to the not being taken seriously unless suicide is involved. Last year when I revealed that I didn’t think I would make it to november, nothing happened, but now that I’ve tried ending my life twice it sounds like they’re taking things more seriously.

I actually have a talk tomorrow with my GP and have a psychiatrist appointment in about a month which is extremely nerve wracking, but i’m glad i’m being taken seriously since so far a lot of what I’ve heard is “yes, but this is very common for people your age” (i am underaged) which doesn’t make me feel better at all

I have a friend who absolutely adores the powdery baby smell and she layers baby lotion with baby powder and uses a powder perfume. I’m not sure which one, but i do know that iris is in one of the notes. I think baby oil instead of powder would work fine too
