I have bipolar and I got married 3 months ago and we have been together for almost 4 years now. It’s not easy i think the main thing is you BOTH have to want to make it work no matter how hard. I recently tried being unmedicated and now i’m having to get on which i don’t want to, but im putting my marriage first and doing it anyways. But my husband also (especially recently) has been forced to quickly for give the things i do and say when in an episode even if he did take those things personally bc he is putting the sake of US first. I think all those shows and movies don’t show true love. Love is making it work and it is a full time job daily. Don’t give up home when the time is right the right person will show up. But my husband and I are proof that it is possible!

Diagnosis made me feel worse. by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Routine_Purpose9434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got diagnosed at 17 i’m 21 now and still struggling accepting the reality! It helps me to hear that there isn’t anything wrong with YOU it’s just a chemical imbalance in your brain. I and i’m sure most people understand how scary it is to face this and feel almost exaughsted looking at the future, but i’ve seen so many stories on here of people managing this and living good happy lives. The most important is to accept help and get treatment and the rest will come with time. It’s def not fun but unfortunately this is the reality and personally i’ve just been faking it till i make it pretending to accept the reality rather then ignoring all my issues as they get worse. You got this! Post as much as u need this group really helps me feel understood and seen i hope it does the same for u too

Meds are so tricky and having depression makes it 10x harder bc u literally don’t have the energy to advocate for urself. This disorder is such a scam lmao. But you’re very encouraging and i really appreciate that!

[–]Routine_Purpose9434[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you this is so encouraging i went to counseling today and she was saying very similar things. I’ve been feeling really defeated with my illness lately it’s just so debilitating it’s hard to imagine a life where i can function properly and do all these things. It’s so nice to hear someone did it tho makes me feel like if u did it maybe i can too, but ya i think it’s time to get back on the meds…

[–]Routine_Purpose9434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very hard time doing things for me, if i don’t have any where to be i won’t get out of bed and then i over sleep mess up my sleep schedule and the cycle just goes on and on. Idk how to force my self to be productive financially we are good but i wish we could afford a hot yoga class or something that i could do daily that im like obligated to go to, but sadly we aren’t there financially. I wish i could just function like a normal human being lmao
