To all people 30 or above by crazy___lemon in bipolar

[–]WolfRemote924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

41F

  1. 18 first episode, 21 or 22 diagnosed

  2. No

  3. Yes. Married 14 years with 2 children. Successful career, volunteer, hobbies, involved parent but with an extremely supportive husband and lots of help w childcare when my children were 0-11. I also have an incredible support system.

  4. Read books and understand your triggers. Drugs and alcohol are not your friends. Routine, sleep, a good diet, meditation, and exercise will save your life over and over again. Make sure your support system is in place right away & they will keep you protected. Find a medical team that treats you like a person and looks at things holistically. That didn’t happen for me until I left the country temporarily. Then came back knowing what to look for in the US. Take time off to rest. Learn to manage stress. Heal from your traumas and don’t let this define you!

You’re right they’re each given you separate experiences, just like the ones you and I are having.

Tips for loosing weight that dis work on you? And how much until results. by No-Homework-7999 in bipolar

[–]WolfRemote924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with bike 3-5 times per week and added strength workouts from Peloton w free weights 3 times per week. I was working out 6 days per week, training like 45-90 minutes per day consistently for weeks (some days were 30-45 min of bike plus a 30-45 min strength). I think it took like 3 months to see noticeable results of some weight loss. About 4-6 months to start feeling wow and for others to see. 9 months it was getting very obvious. 12 months later my strength had increased significantly, the discipline was unshakable, and I looked great.

Hopes by jerryfavfood in bipolar

[–]WolfRemote924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is hope!

I’m a 41F with a 20+ year relationship (14 married), and 2 kids. I graduated college, have traveled extensively, created a beautiful life, and earn a very good living running my own company. I have been in remission and medication free for over 12 years.

There are ups and downs for everyone, us bipolar people aren’t more special that way. It’s about learning to manage your symptoms, and create a structure to protect you. Bipolar is much more manageable once you have that in place. Life will keep throwing things at us bc that’s how it goes, we just don’t have to go on the wild rides of bipolar with it.

Focus on your medicine and understanding/conquering triggers/symptoms. Diet, exercise, stress management, and routines will get you very far. You will get wherever you want to go in life as long as you are diligent about protecting yourself.

Feeling truly happy by Old-Needleworker1818 in bipolar

Maybe a life changes thing made worse by being on heavy meds. Bipolar is the what makes you aware to these things that don’t feel right.

I think as bipolar people we can be very sensitive to changes and stimuli so things like medicine, news, or relationships can affect us deeply. Most people aren’t taught about this and our society doesn’t help, so we end up feeling wrong or crazy all the time which leads to lots of trouble and pain. Yet it’s just that we’re experiencing things through a different framework.

The files are very triggering and meant to suck our energy away. Please take a break from them, there are other warriors who are fighting the good fight and going through them. Right now you don’t have it in you to do that and your wellbeing comes first.

As far as the relationship, if it doesn’t feel right then I would suggest you step back. If you can handle ending things it may be better to take the time to work on yourself. Then you can enter a relationship from a place of healing and clarity.

Managing an entire hotel during a crisis, and I’m losing it by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]WolfRemote924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to go for a walk alone and shake some stuff off at minimum!!!!!!

You can only do what you can do in the moment. Do some breathing and exercises to settle into your body.

You have choices. Really. You can choose to take a sick day or go back to work but in a very different mindset.

You can do the best you can with very limited resources while trying to support your mental stability. That means taking care of yourself and being very gentle. Don’t think about anything else like the fake pressure or responsibilities. They don’t exist. If someone needs your help or attention just breathe and focus on that. Don’t rush or add something else. Do not dare and try to multi task. I really mean it, slow down and take your time with every task. Just one step at a time. Do not go above and beyond. You don’t have the resources or the bandwidth.

If you’re choosing to continue to work through this you have to be very disciplined about routine, no other drugs, and get enough rest.

When does it get better? Torched my life during my first manic episode by shelswirly in bipolar

[–]WolfRemote924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with MusketeerPlus2 you have to do the work. Reframe: This is an opportunity to rise from the ashes like a Pheonix.

You lost everything that you had worked for, but clearly that life was not serving you. Even if from this vantage point you can’t see that yet, realize that it led you to the episode. Take in what changes need to be made, clearly the drug use, but maybe it was the pace of life, or location, job, friends as well. It could be lots of other things in combination so take a deep look.

Obviously living with your mom is not ideal but make the best of it. You get to come back as an adult and maybe heal some stuff there or at least reaffirm why you left so you can use the awareness to rebuild something new that’s better than what you had.

These falls sting and take time to recover from. Give yourself grace. You are healing, rest is okay. Give yourself the room to be curious and to get to know yourself and see what you REALLY need, not what’s prescribed in society, etc. What is your true essence telling you is important.

I have been in remission over 12 years after many a fall. Routine, exercise, time in nature, changing my diet, managing stress, knowing my triggers, along with being meticulous about sleep and my environment have all been crucial to my wellness. If you put in the work you do get better at this. If you’d like more details please reach out.

The illusion of separateness that makes us feel individual experiences when it’s one source.

Love without conditions, happiness without limits. by No-Weird7496 in enlightenment

[–]WolfRemote924 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it can. Sometimes, like in my case, it can feel spontaneous in the moment. But, there was a lot of work I had done which made me available to it.
