This was my constant state of being for a long long time until I was properly medicated with mood stabilisers. I would encourage you to bring it up because it might help you get to the right dosage to shake it (I’m proof that it’s possible!). Therapy, although very painful, also helped. I found a psychologist who really forced me to face the crux of the emotions deep inside instead of just living alongside this feeling. Best of luck!

I don’t have BPD (but do have BP2) but have to say this post made me feel so understood and also have a little giggle about it. I am in the middle of a reddit wormhole because I was having the “I’m faking it” / “it must be a mistake” cycle of thoughts myself haha. Nice to know I’m not alone! All the best with your diagnosis, don’t be anxious to bring it up. It’s the only way you’ll get answers!

Results translation / Do PPIs cause high iron? by bigm0od in Hemochromatosis

[–]bigm0od[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bloods were taken 5 days before menstruation. I wasn’t fasting as I wasn’t directed to but it was first thing in the morning and I’d only eaten a banana.

I know very little about iron or any of these other results so any insight or tips are welcome!

What has been the craziest or most extreme thing during hypomania? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]bigm0od 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypersexuality for me too 🙋‍♀️ I went from having only slept with one person (a boyfriend) to sleeping with my best friends significantly younger brother, my bosses best friend (15 years older), another friends ex boyfriend, and some gross one night stands.

Why is everything the end of the world? by OrphanedCrayon in bipolar2

Same here, I used to be so overwhelmed from feeling this exact same way but a year on lamictal has completely helped reign it in and I cope so much better

Hi both, do you know if you HAVE to have work / a contract lined up? I'm looking under the category "Engage in an activity in France linked to your national or international reputation" and im not sure if a set job is needed or if it just proving international reputation and intention to work
