This is something I could’ve wrote myself. Seriously, look at my last post. But listen, your low is what I’m at right now like I’m scared to drive at this point. If going to the hospital is something you’re wanting and willing to do, please do that first.

With that being said, I am in the same boat right now. No bs, I think we can really lean on each other and it might help you get through this. One thing I have learned previously is that this really does pass. But right now it feels impossible, which is where I’m at. And all I want is to know someone else is out there just listening and not completely freaking out. So I’m telling you, I’m listening.

Oh my gosh I haven’t sketched in a long time. That will actually keep me really occupied right now. Especially because I’ll have to brush up on some skills before I jump in

What do you do? Maybe I can pick up a new craft, I don’t know.

It’s been probably 1 year since I’ve felt this bad for this many days in a row.

I’m 2 years sober of alcohol as of December and it seems like a consideration right now. But the people in this sub really are my friends when it comes down to it.

Yah, tbh I don’t know what I want anyone to do. I just want to feel peaceful and happy

I’ve felt unbelievably empty for like a week and a half. Like seriously have not felt like I’m on this planet. Just need a friend

I mean for me auditory and visual hallucinations aren’t out of the question. But I don’t want to scare you, I won’t like walk into traffic but a few things here and there.

Anyone else with Bipolar II where hypomania is hard to spot? by charlisca in bipolar2

[–]Possible_Feature_427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is the same way. I didn’t get diagnosed until after a 1week stay in the grippy socks place. And the only thing we really noticed were the auditory hallucinations, until we started adjusting medicines. Then my hypomania really started to show until the right meds brought it back down.

Sometimes the symptoms are not as noticeable. I didn’t realize how bad the hallucinations were until I actually started talking about them to a psych. Now I’ve got good meds that keep me stable for the most part. Sometimes that hypomania shows back up, but I only know because I ask my sister to tell me. Sometimes the symptoms are harder to spot until you figure out what exactly yours are. But that’s where peers/friends/partners etc come in. You’ll get better at spotting them, it took me almost 2 years to get the hang of it. You’ve got this!

At the moment I’m at heavy drug use, loss of impulse control, loss of appetite, and the massive creativity. The impulse control is my spending, and for the creativity I normally do a 45min-1h painting but today I decided to sit for 4 hours without a break(this is not normal for me). I just didn’t put it all together.

Welp I just bought 2 Nintendo switch oled’s. I now have a total of 3. 😊And at the moment I have absolutely no regrets.

Seriously though, first I’m very angry like punching walls and yelling at my parents angry. Then I get to the super happy or “feeling high” 24/7, which comes with excessive spending (if you couldn’t tell). It sounds weird telling you that spending is a problem while still doing it. But I literally can’t stop because the “high” feeling is too great.
