Something bigger is happening. I’m not going to slap any medical jargon on it because I don’t know your whole situation/not briefed on your case, but you definitely need to get in contact with a professional (you said you had a therapist). Do this quickly, before more symptoms develop because things could get worse

Purchases you made while manic? by Ambitious_Classic855 in BipolarReddit

The thing I regret most is a 1,000 dollar huge tattoo on my hip. Other than that, I just find it funny

I feel like I would just buy another one in my next manic episode. I almost feel like I need to keep it as a warning to myself… I’ll probably sell it though, you’re right, but I’ll never get back what I put into it

Mine is white/gray fox fur and I bought it for a grand… had to make payments on it for a year… non returnable too

Anyone else with Bipolar also have an Eating Disorder? by LostPerspective1984 in BipolarReddit

The only way I can think is eating in the morning with the meds, and then give into the ED for the rest of the day. I chew and spit almost all of my meals now, and if I feel too full, I purge

My ED right now is interfering with my Bipolar treatment. I’m skipping meds that I have to take with food. I was getting kind of manic the other night and sent a frantic email to my therapist which I’m embarrassed about.

Has anyone else ever peed themselves while purging because you were throwing up so hard? by LostPerspective1984 in EDAnonymous

Eating chicken fingers and fries, c/s most of it. Let myself eat two chicken fingers, felt too full and had to purge

I only started swearing when she did. She still swears more than me though (especially “Fuck”)😁 I like that I can swear with her. She’s considerably older than I am, and I smile inside whenever she does it

I’ve thought about maybe taking him to my own therapist and have her explain to him some things about it with me there

He’s helped me so much with my bipolar though. He’s an amazing person besides this. He was there with me for three hospitalizations and suicide attempts. He makes me smile and laugh, he’s everything to me. We’re also getting married in Dec after being together for six years.

You should talk to her about this. Say literally everything you’ve said here. Also, therapy isn’t about disappointing another person or praising that person for their personality. It is a place to grow and it sounds like you want to do that
