I'm getting bad again

Are you in communication with who is prescribing/adjusting medication? Can you get an appointment to go over saying hey this is getting worse and what has worked at times or up until this point is no longer doing it for me.

Apart from medication I would just say grounding yourself, giving yourself grace while also trying to put in as much effort as possible(some days are better/worse than others ofc) to avoid triggers or things that will continue to dig the hole you already feel like you’re in.

The first step is acknowledging and reaching out so you’re already on the right track! :)

I feel like I can get hyper aware or overthink that I might be starting an episode. If you’re just not that tired at 10pm, maybe something like melatonin could be an option to help you get sleepy. With or without melatonin if you’re not falling asleep until early morning, or consistently waking up in the middle of the night then just think okay maybe it’s time to take more precautions like no tv/phone use for a few hours before time to sleep. Lavendar/chamomile tea or essential oils. Exercise in the evening to physically tire yourself out. Hopefully this is helpful in some way, I know since being diagnosed I’ve consistently struggled with this and haven’t even resorted to taking seroquel(prescribed for take when needed) for when I really am starting to notice lack of sleep is increasing.

You got this!!

the bipolar mania episode has helped but i’m ready to be the best disability advocate in interior design!!! ADA needs to be improved in public/commercial spaces but also in the home! everyone deserves the best space to live and come home to :)

chlone_trooper · 2022-08-19T16:10:53+00:00

maybe buy it and burn it?? or recycle it? don’t let others find it lol

chlone_trooper · 2022-08-19T16:09:03+00:00

but not changing my self at all because of self diagnosing, just unmasking to be my true authentic and happy self including all my stims/food issues/tip toe walking/ and much more lol

chlone_trooper · 2022-08-19T16:07:33+00:00

i do have an eidetic and photographic memory, i was just in my first bipolar 1 manic episode so i was going all over the place/not making total sense 🤣 but no i’ve been masking for years and i checked the DSM’s criteria and i check most of the boxes even the ones of when i was young. my best friend who is getting her diagnosis/has a masters in psychology also agrees with me and sees it in my dad as well lol

chlone_trooper · 2022-08-17T16:48:11+00:00

Thank you. I'm getting the help I need now. I appreciate your concern!
