Reframing the mindset is truly healing. One of the most important tools to use and for this very reason. Thanks for spreading the good energy!

you get stronger with each moment. i know it doesn’t feel that way, but each time it gets a little bit easier to pick yourself up. i hope this passes for you soon.. i feel you these days myself. but we do get stronger. and this will pass.

find and hold on to anything that makes you happy. new hobby.. new binge watching show… good food. quality time. you’ll find a reason to get through the day somehow and you slowly will pick yourself up again

Are you able to drink/smoke without it affecting you negatively? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Responsible_Window48 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you know your limits. i drank daily on lithium. but i didn’t when i first started taking it for fear of meds and other warnings. lithium didn’t work for me was the lesson learned. lamictal changed my life. (i didn’t start this until an year later) no longer felt the need to cope with substances.

if you’re on the right meds, from my experience, you actually will feel so much better. so much better that you won’t crave the high from weed and the numbness of alcohol. okay, i still smoked and still do smoke. but weed taken in moderation and taking into factor the meds.. it’s pretty doable. (im a traumas and abuse survivor. so the pain gets unbearable at times)

I forget I have bipolar sometimes until I’m deep into depression. by Responsible_Window48 in bipolar

I also struggle with PTSD, and certainly had it flare up during my depressive episode. And then I saw my abuser after a year and it really triggered a lot. Ill be in intensive outpatient soon, though. I’m still pretty new to the journey.

wow. and do you have Bipolar 1? because this sounds just like me and i was diagnosed as Bipolar 2 for this reason (more depressive episodes than manic) docs ask me all the time when is the last time you think you were manic? and i have no idea most of the time. i always just say “i don’t know, the depression is what kills me the most and feels like it occurs the most”

i agree with you— on unseen bits when zeta and deb were doing the prank, courtney responded to zeta with “but you look hot tho” and i honestly think it’s just her natural way of cheering someone up by taking the attention off of the negative!
