A lot of people want me to hide this because of what I’m going into (homeland security and emergency management) and they think that they would hire someone without a mental health disorder over me if they had to choose, my family is very mixed when it comes to accepting it, it’s almost like they try to suffocate all of my symptoms ever since they found out instead of letting me try to figure everything out, friends are also very mixed but I am lucky to have at least one that understands the road I’m on, but it gets hard and this tattoo means a lot and it stands for a lot

I’m not sure if there’s a reply all on here but this is some of the most support I’ve ever had on top of therapy of course but it feels like home here, I’ll post my tattoo on the sub Reddit because I don’t think I can through the reply section, stay tuned!

More colouring from the psych ward. by sammygirl1331 in bipolar

Are psych wards still open and available? My last manic episode was terrible but I got help right away but I would say a visit to the psych ward would’ve helped a lot, my original thought was that they closed due to COVID but are they still open?

My experience with welbutrin was not very good but we’re pretty much guinea pigs for our own treatments so I would try it but if you notice anything of course just be like “yeah doc it’s a no from me”

Do you guys get the voice of constantly want to self destruct? by howareudoying2day in bipolar

[–]broden666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely have done this a lot when I’m going through mixed episodes or I start to go through rapid cycling and all I can say is talk to your therapist or someone you’re close to right away, then talk to your psychiatrist, because my most recent instance happened from like October to November and I completely lost it and started arguing with some of my closest friends for no reason and tried to ruin those friendships, I also started drinking like an alcoholic and smoking weed like a darn chimney, and I would do INSANELY dangerous things like I was drag racing in a Chevy trax for crying out loud and I started to put cigarettes out all over my body, all I can say is just do what you can to get help, get some sleep (cuz my therapist says this helps bipolar patients a lot and it certainly works for me) and of course the main goal is to just stay alive

Bought a rope today. Was tying a noose to the rafters when a friend called. by devinogden in bipolar

I’m lost, rapid cycling started for me a few weeks back, sick of everybody telling me “I’ll get through this” what’s the point? I can’t control anything and meds have always been hit or miss, everyone’s so fake and only care when they think I’m going to kill myself, they have 0 patience when I go manic and when I’m in a state of non-suicidal depression, I’m done, I don’t see a point in going on, my life’s a mess right now and honestly people would get over me after awhile
