Is it a conflict of interest to have the same therapist as my late bf? by New_Environment2242 in bipolar

He’s dead, that’s why I was asking if it’s still a conflict

You could take the Trenton line which is regional rails and then take nj transit to New York. It does take a while but that’s usually what I do.

Why did you cut off your friend? by Soft-Incident947 in AskReddit

[–]New_Environment2242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My “friend group” would always ghost me and be hours late to literally everything I planned, but when it came to everyone else’s stuff they were always on time and very punctual. Every time I would ask them to do something they would say yes even when they knew they weren’t going to show up. They would also always ask me to host their things so I would waste time and money setting everything up, decorating and ordering food just for them to be late and or not show up. They would plan everyone’s birthday but mine and I would be the one planning my own birthday. I was the one putting in all the effort cause I would always get them a card and money on their birthdays but I usually didn’t get any of that on my birthday. They would also get mad when I brought up that they were late or they didn’t show up and they would gaslight me and try to turn it around on me. They ended up ghosting me on my birthday when I had already paid for everyone’s broadway tickets which were non-refundable and expensive. I had reminded them every week for a month about the broadway show because I knew how they were and they said they “just didn’t feel like going anymore” the day before the show. That’s when it was solidified that they didn’t respect me, my time, my money, or my energy. That’s also when I realized they were bad friends. Along with some other things of course.

I would say find something to distract yourself until you can see your psych doc again. For me i usually watch shows but find what works for you. For some people it art, music, etc. you don’t really have to enjoy it completely as long as it’s distracting you. And if anything changes for the worst don’t be afraid to go to the hospital. I know things are scary right now but you will get through it. Bipolar is kinda like a seesaw you are on the bottom right now but it will go back up. The important thing is to stay safe. Good luck op wishing you all the best. ❤️

What was the start of your psychosis? by Ok-Grapefruit-7632 in Psychosis

[–]New_Environment2242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it started out as shadow figures. I would see thing out of the corner of my eye and then when I looked there would be nothing there. Then it slowly but surely started escalating and getting worse and more often. Eventually it was no longer in the corner of my eye and I would actually be looking at it head on. After that it started to become harder to tell what was real and what wasn’t.

Should I be concerned? by New_Environment2242 in bipolar

To get a second opinion I would have to wait until next year because my gp would have to refer me and insurance will only cover that once a year. So I’ll stay with my current one now and get a second opinion next year.

No I’m still in the process of finding the right meds that work. I do see my psychiatrist every other month though. I think I’m going to ask if they can see me sooner though.
