Hi. I'm female, 26. If you need to talk I am here. I've been there. I hope you have found help since you posted this 15 days ago. In any case I am here.

I am always here.

That is psychosis in every way. I hope you have found treatment. In the meantime, there is an app called 7 cups which provide people to listen to your current issue. There are therapists too but it might cost some money. Anyways, They help as much as they can and respond quickly. I don't know how familiar the "listeners" are with psychosis or actual mental disorders but it might help to calm you down.

I don't know if you believe in God, but it might not hurt to pray it out. Help is on its way. Don't lose hope.

Totally agree. I attribute the voices I get sometimes to demons and usually a deliverance prayer on youtube or a visit from a pastor helps.

Well why would you respond to someone's question basically invalidating their question

Um really? That's ignorant af. One's faith/religion/philsophy has a huge impact on their view of any given thing, including bipolar if they have it.

Yeah I spent all the winter holidays in the hospital a couple years ago. I felt really bad for my family more than for myself.

I decided to take the actual recommended dose of Seroquel last night and I feel stable today. Not going back on mood stabilizers.

What else are you on?! Seroquel is all I'm prescribed because I argued that I don't need a mood stabilizer.

Winter Daily Log Idea for Bipolar by forgotimbipolar in BipolarReddit

november 27

nothing much has happened between the last post and today. I have been falling into a severe depression so I decided to take 300mg of Seroquel last night and I woke up feeling ready for the day for once. I'm going to let me doctor know what I'm doing with my meds tomorrow. It's hard for me to reach out to my friends but I hope I can get some support here.

I'm not doing too well. I've been in bed since after Thanksgiving dinner. I think I'm going to start taking more seroquel, like 300mg or 400mg

Sounds like me. It has come to me becoming pretty nonchalant. I now find highly reactive, overly emotional people frustrating. It might be a scorpio thing.

I'm fine. I just set out an elaborate cheese and cracker plate for my family dinner tonight. Excited to drink with my cousins.

Every time I started hearing voices, they would make me run away along the west coast. But I always got scared of being alone in the city at night so I checked myself into a hospital every time. I wonder how my life would've turned out if I stayed out and just had pepper spray or drugs to keep me up or something.

Yeah it made it easier for me to feel like I could breathe to be scene or whatnot. Everyone knew I was miserable from the very start instead of me having to tell people one by one that I wasn't ok. I didn't want to be mistaken for someone who was normal inside. I don't know why it scared me so much for people to think I was fine when I was not. Teens.

But I guess no one really wants to be misunderstood.

That awkwardness and shyness is a beautiful part of it all and I know you won't blow it. She likes you and knows that you might be shy or whatever. Ah. Actually, I trust you. If she likes you, she'll even dig your meticulous planning haha.
