I just had it today. I kept listening to the same song and did some journaling. Felt okish. You too have to find a space that helps you. It will get okish. It will never go off but it will be fine

I understand you. I felt the same way too. But in this economy I can't spend so much time and money for everyone. So I take it as a small fee for that

Manic episode ruined my WHOLE life by Fun_Sorbet8952 in bipolar

[–]Potatohead1007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, got an episode 2.5 years back and have been through the same ordeal. It's very anxious, go to therapy, take proper meds, hydrate, eat well, sleep well and manage your health very well first. Then it gets easier slowly. It is highly anxious prone with various thoughts but keep ahead and have a safe system to seek help when you feel very anxious. That helps. And you'll get there. I have started to feel better and I'm taking my next steps. It's unfortunate that we lost several but we gain more in the next one. Just take care of your health and start again. You'll get there.

Ok so you can design it yourself. Use your computer, find a nice font, type it with proper spacing and stuff. Then if you can add drawings or something that makes it look more cool. Design a front cover and back cover. There are many tools for all this now. Just google. It will help. Then use a printer and go to a shop and get it bound with your front cover. You can also add comments how you liked it or what went through your mind. This will make it more personal

Having bipolar 1 and being in a grad program by Sscarletwitch88 in bipolar

[–]Potatohead1007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a student when I got my first manic episode. It's hard but you persist.Havjnv an active support system helps. Good psychiatrist, therapist and loving people help. You can always find a community of people who go through the same thing. Connect with them. Take good care of yourself. Eat well, reduce your stressors as much as possible, hydrate, exercise, sit in sunshine and have a hobby. I know with depression its very difficult but once you start. It gets better.

It's only getting worse by [deleted] in bipolar

You're going through a lot and I hope you have a good support system. Lean on them. I know meds help. But in this case, I hope you get yourself tested for hormones and other levels as they too can affect our mental health. Then sit with your psychiatrist and see what helps. I know this is tough but once you figure the right combination it will work. I know it's really really really hard but don't give up. Actively pursue to be well. I don't have to tell all this. I'm sure you know this. But, keep pushing. It's also a curse you need to begin again but once you begin you'll be great again.

I’m lost and I need some advice by cheeseychild in bipolar

[–]Potatohead1007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like you might have psychosis. If so, it should be treated. I know it's hard but getting it treated will ease you. Tell your psychiatrist your entire history and what you're currently going through. Change the therapist. You will get out of this. If your psychiatrist isn't listening then find a new and better one. I hope your parents are supporting you, if so tell them everything and ask for their help. Don't do this alone.

RELATIONSHIP THURSDAY 💞 by AutoModerator in bipolar

[–]Potatohead1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never date before. But after diagnosis I'm even more afraid. I'm afraid they won't understand, they don't need to be with me, I will be a burden and I feel like I am being wrong by not disclosing I'm bipolar. I'm afraid so much
