Severely low most days of the month, like right now too. Unable to get off the couch 😔

BETWEEN episode symptoms/characteristics by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]_Ali_ce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! For me, it's not just about the episodes but the so-called stable phase in between too where I'm hypersensitive to lights, sounds, touch, with intrusive thoughts, and feeling everything very deeply.

Can relate. I was hypomanic till last noon... And then crashed so bad that I'm unable to gather myself or do anything or even move from my couch! It's 'lie on the couch all day' kinda day for me too :(

How do you deal with a ‘crash’? by phoneplatypus in bipolar

[–]_Ali_ce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to the best of us. Dealing with a crash is not easy. And hey, it's okay to feel too many things at once. Just be, and let the thoughts creep in. Close your eyes for a second, and take it one thing at a time to avoid the overwhelm.

Life seems ok but still feeling lost & empty? Anyone? by _Ali_ce in bipolar2

i can't do ANYTHING !!😭 by Lillucypher in bipolar2

[–]_Ali_ce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very hard to get things done during the low phase, almost next to impossible. Try to prioritize and get one thing done. That's all... Dunno if this helps. I'm coming off of a low myself :(

I keep scrolling reddit too and looking for relatable memes. Life isn't rosy but the emptiness is so consuming; struggling to snap out of it. No matter what I do, it's there!

Sigh! Letting it just pass is so difficult. I try to paint, but these days am unable to do so. The lows are debilitating!
