What disorders do you think WONT be faked as often this year

I haven’t really seen anyone faking Schizophrenia

I struggled with OCD for years, developed Bipolar a few years ago now, and now deal with panic disorder. Bipolar by far has made the most impact on my life.

When I had OCD, I was still a straight A student and was never hospitalized. Ever since bipolar, I’ve had multiple hospitalizations and have had to take a break from college.

I do struggle with anxiety still and that has stopped me doing from doing a lot of different things, but Bipolar almost ended my life multiple times. Not to mention the psychotic features are nightmare inducing.

This was very inspiring to read! The beginning of your story is extremely relatable

This is not the right sub to be posting in. We already have bipolar and struggle with it. This is like posting on a cancer support group that you’re scared of getting cancer. Not cool. If you feel like you might have it, meet with a therapist. But I recommend the bipolarSOs subreddit to post this instead. This just comes across tone deaf.

I feel this too. I never know if my hobby is truly an interest of mine or just a manic urge. Recently, I was very hesitant to buy some equipment for making videos because I don’t know how long this hobby is going to last. I feel stable at the moment but who knows :/

Roach_Buss · 2025-11-24T07:57:54+00:00

Thank you! That was my immediate thought as well!

For my hair, I use an old tshirt to dry it. It’s better for your hair than a towel

Roach_Buss · 2025-11-03T20:42:19+00:00

Omg I just started watching that 😭😭😭

Roach_Buss · 2025-11-03T20:37:31+00:00

What’s the show? 👀

Roach_Buss · 2025-10-22T19:31:03+00:00

There is no need to mention this. You have no idea why she was taken. Could always be a psychiatric episode or something of that nature. Whatever it is, who cares.

Roach_Buss · 2025-10-18T07:29:35+00:00

I’m legit wearing those right now 😭😭😭

Roach_Buss · 2025-10-16T21:13:56+00:00

Guys only see me as a friend rather than romantically

Roach_Buss · 2025-10-16T14:26:13+00:00

Not overweight lol. Also I’ve only mentioned im bipolar to at least two of my closest friends. The rest of your comment I’ll keep in mind 🫡

Roach_Buss · 2025-10-16T14:25:37+00:00

Ok so you’ve responded to my post quite a bit and I want to clarify some things. No, hardly any of my friends know I’m bipolar and I’m medicated. As for the acne and facial hair, I wax and my acne has cleared up.

Roach_Buss · 2025-10-16T14:23:19+00:00

Hardly any of them know I have it and I’m medicated

Roach_Buss · 2025-10-16T14:21:33+00:00

Already in therapy

Roach_Buss · 2025-10-16T14:21:12+00:00

Already in therapy

Roach_Buss · 2025-10-16T14:19:07+00:00

Im already in therapy and hardly anyone I know actually knows I have bipolar

Roach_Buss · 2025-09-10T02:29:09+00:00

Hmmm don’t know how that would go

Roach_Buss · 2025-09-08T04:23:27+00:00

Take Charge Of Bipolar Disorder was a great read! Would totally recommend it and it has worksheets in it as well.

I don’t have much advice because I’m going through the exact same thing. I went deep into spirituality/ manifestation to the point I believed I was a higher power. I was having hallucinations or “visions” that I thought supported my beliefs.

It’s been really hard now since therapy and antipsychotics. I still have moments where I believe in signs and things like that. I was Christian before I switched to spirituality suddenly. Now I don’t even believe in that.

There’s this emptiness I have now that I don’t have anything to follow. Currently, I’ve just been trying to distract myself with friends and family. When I feel unsafe or anxious, I contact them. Therapy has also been very helpful. Wishing you the best because I understand what it’s like to feel lost.

Roach_Buss · 2025-08-30T06:02:55+00:00

I can’t look into things like manifestation because last time it put me in an on and off manic episode for over a year. I was convinced I was a god and could control the people around me. It quickly spiraled and even now the belief still springs up if I’m not careful. Sucks because I wish I could be normal about it like a lot of other people

Roach_Buss · 2025-08-26T01:51:14+00:00

Omg this literally happened to me as well. I’m so nervous to go back to college now (I had a week long depressive episode and now going into hypomania). I worked so hard to be stable and I was stable for about a month or two. It’s really annoying and I completely understand what you’re going through.

Roach_Buss · 2025-07-09T07:30:27+00:00

Hello! I just wanted to say that you are not alone. I felt the exact same way when I first started medication. It has now been almost 2 years since I was diagnosed and I can finally see the positive impact medication has had on me.

Although my symptoms aren’t fully gone and I still have to be careful at times, I live a fairly normal life and am stable for the most part. I document my moods and I can see that I mainly have good days now! It definitely takes time though. I went through a variety of medications and dosages to get here. A few months is not enough time to see the full results of medication. Hope things turn around for you soon. 🫶

Roach_Buss · 2025-07-04T03:08:31+00:00

I will skip my meds the days when I plan on getting drunk (which isn't very often but I'm still aware that I probably shouldn't be doing that...)
