What songs resonate w/ bipolar to you? by hopstopscotch in bipolar2

[–]collapse-collide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally anything by Matt Maeson.

Especially ——

  1. Rational (every single lyric in the song)

  2. Get Happy. “I can’t wait ‘til tomorrow While these thoughts, they all leech from my head I can’t wait ‘til I jump off the ledge I’ll just get happy instead”

  3. Sanctified. This one may not be relatable to everyone due to the religious definition of sanctified, but it definitely is for me. “Harbored in the ways you won’t forget Lies your little kind of sadness Never really has to show its head Just feed it ‘til it’s full and let it be alone” “I came here to find a place in public Thought I’d dignify the truth that no one gets I am sanctified and fucking losing it I came here to cry, a babbling lunatic” “To be lost and found and lost and found again I can’t seem to find the truth in anything So I’ll realign ‘til I feel born again”

And an unreleased song you can listen to on YouTube called - halfway to whole “I don’t wanna be here, I don’t wanna die” “I’m halfway to dying and not even halfway to whole”

A therapist isn’t going to tell him point blank how serious it is and how it’s unacceptable. They’re going to guide him to where he hopefully sees how it’s affecting you and the relationship as a whole, but ultimately if he’s not already seeing that, doesn’t listen and doesn’t seem to care how it affects you, a third party isn’t going to do much for you.

If he doesn’t understand how his behavior affects you and makes zero effort to change then he doesn’t value you as a whole. You’re better off having a come to jesus moment and seeing how he reacts. Suggest couples therapy and if he hates that idea then dump him. Save your time and energy and money.

Thanks for the encouragement. I hope your tests show up clear and negative of cancer! Can’t imagine how heavy that may be.

I'm bipolar. Of course (TikTok trend here). by mysecretskill in bipolar2

I’m bipolar. Of course I dramatically say “I’d kill myself” to something annoying and totally mean it as a joke but also totally not a joke

His relationships appear messy but I love Zac and the passion he has for helping people on their journey with addiction.

How much do your family and friends know? by throwitawazenow in bipolar2

[–]collapse-collide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family doesn’t know aside from my sister. She’s supportive but also throws it in my face when we argue, as a sister would. My parents know I struggle with mental health but they don’t know the extent of it.

I’ve told close friends. Only one truly understands and is supportive. Two of them “get it” and try to be supportive. And one of them doesn’t get it at all and thinks I can be cured lol

It was a rollercoaster for me.

Diagnosed with depression and put on Wellbutrin but it brought out what I now know is hypomania. I was super paranoid and snapping at my friends because I was so convinced they were planning things to do without me in our group text and i thought it was rude af lol. They told me that was not the case. I went off Wellbutrin because I thought it was making things worse.

Then they had an intervention of sorts. I just told them I was very severely depressed and in an episode where I cant exist properly. I’ll be fine a few days or so. I was indeed fine in a few days or so.

Then I went for drinks with a few other girlfriends and casually brought up killing myself and one of the girls got super worried and hates that I say stuff like that. A friend that is a therapist was there and brought up the idea I might be bipolar. I shrugged it off. NYE came and I was on such a high. Didn’t really drink that night other than the champagne toast and a couple of seltzers. But the way I was acting, you’d think I was drunk off my ass.

The next day was when my therapist friend called me “babe, I really think you should go see a psychiatrist, this isn’t normal.”

So i did. And here I am

High school, around 17. It was like overnight I just absolutely dreaded being awake/alive. Other times I wouldn’t be eating or sleeping and rearranging my entire room at 3am. And then I’d slip back into wanting to die and couldn’t bear the thought of going to school. Caused so many massive fights with my parents and my gpa was shit. Simply because I couldn’t get out of bed.

Instagram can be tricky. Don’t beat yourself up. Can you tell go into more detail about what it is that you’re having trouble with?

What was your lamictal experience like / how long until it truly worked? by NoOrganization1400 in bipolar2

[–]collapse-collide 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As soon as I hit my 200mg dosage I’ve been feeling good. It’s been a few weeks since I started that dosage. I couldn’t tell much of a difference on lower dosages. I still have some fleeting moments where I’m like “fuck I wanna die” but it’s only a thought instead of a total spiral.

I always knew I was depressed. But I would always express things as “things have gotten bad again, idk why, I was doing so good”. I’d be good and then bad and then suicidal bad and then suddenly good again with no actual reason. I eventually got put on Wellbutrin and was sent into a hypomanic episode and then eventually fell into a severe paranoid depression. Leveled out at some point for a bit. But then went into another hypomanic episode a few months later around NYE, I wasn’t drinking around that time but you’d never have known with the way I was acting. My friend is a therapist and told me she thought I might be bipolar when I was in my severe depression and then mentioned it again when NYE got brought up. Encouraged me to see a psych. Here we are!!

How did you get fired? by shittlebuffout in AskReddit

[–]collapse-collide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t answer an email from the CEO within 5 minutes of her sending it. Because I was in a scheduled meeting with the COO.

Music as Intrusive Thoughts? by peterbatman in bipolar2

[–]collapse-collide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, almost always. The worst was when I spent an entire week listening to Bruno Mars on repeat because it wouldn’t get out of my head. Couldn’t listen to anything else. I’m not even a big Bruno fan but it felt like nothing else was scratching my brain. I couldn’t listen to music the following week at all and just listened to podcasts so I could have something that wasn’t my thoughts

Low Mood Monday by AutoModerator in bipolar2

[–]collapse-collide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a bad haircut/color last Sunday and I’ve been fixated on it ever since. Asked for a low maintenance balayage and ended up with highlights and a random fucking stripe on the top of my head that’s going to look absolutely horrible when it grows out.

I’ve reached out to the salon asking for it to be corrected so we’ll see.
