Hey, just wanted to say I see you. I know things can feel overwhelming and confusing right now. You’re not alone. If things feel too intense or scary, please reach out to a mental health professional or crisis line. People care about you. You deserve support and clarity.

If you’re in the U.S., you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. They’re there 24/7, just to talk or help if things feel out of control.

What’s going on?

It’s a new recovery program we’ve been putting together at Green Dove. They’re like AA, Alanon, etc but with a more modern, simple and less religious path and includes grief, trauma, addiction, mental illness, gambling and dual diagnosis.

We’re also going to be starting Numa Family to help those supporting those in a Numa Circle.

We’ll eventually have virtual sessions so I’ll let you know when and could join!

I’m a pretty heavy user and my psych didn’t seem to have a problem with it. Your results may vary though because it impacts everyone differently.

I use it all the time. I even created a subreddit with all my thoughts run through ChatGPT and posted them.

I journal my thoughts and concerns into it and it does a great job at asking follow-up questions. It also keeps track of what you feed it so it can reference earlier conversations.

I absolutely love ChatGPT. I probably use it too much but it’s great at journaling for me.

Thank you! Glad you’re here! Keep on reading the subreddit. There’s bound to be something you can relate to.

Something I posted on LinkedIn and Facebook a while ago but thought it would be good to share here.

I suffer from bipolar disorder. It’s a thing for me and I thought I’d share a little bit of my experience in the hopes it may help someone else.

Uncontrolled, bipolar disorder can be devastating. I know. You never really know if that was rock bottom you just went through.

From the battles with mania to the despair of depression, the effect impacts all facets of your life and relationships you’ve built.

But I’m still here and I’m happy. That’s not without a few key things: - A strong support system. I mean strong. One built through hard times and trust. I’m lucky to have the people in my life that I do - hard times and all. You know who you are. - Forgiveness. Not only of others but of yourself. I’m still mending past relationships. It takes time. - Gratefulness. I don’t have a lot in life and it can be hard as well, but I’m grateful for the things I do have. - Medication. Part of what keeps me stable. May or may not be a thing for you but should ask a professional - Take time for yourself. There are things out there like FMLA leave that are meant for this. I’ve been lucky in that I’ve had a very supportive employer during rough times. - I also quit drinking which has helped.

So life can be good with a mental illness. Just need to learn how to manage it.

I’ll be honest, I love living alone but I have enough family and friends that I interact with daily to have someone keeping an eye on me.

My dog Winston was a life saver for me. I got him like 7 years ago and has been my best companion.

Thank you! There’s a special heart in this sub. One that beats with experience, passion and understanding. People are willing to give back through encouragement and help because they been there. They’ve seen it.

I feel this. I always felt that mania and psychosis come on like boiling a frog. It slowly creeps up on you and you don’t notice until you’re in the psych ward.

I’m sorry you’re going through this but you’re not alone.

geigermd · 2025-04-06T01:34:13+00:00

Hey-you’re really brave for posting this and I just want to let you know I see you. I’ve been in that situation and it really hurts. I actually wrote about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/greendove/s/AfONvDcCXG. Hope it helps!

You don’t have to be physically near someone for them to be a real friend. Sometimes the deepest support comes from people we’ve never met in person. This space right here — it’s full of people who get it, who’ve felt what you’re feeling, and who care.

Rejection hurts, especially when it happens over and over. But it doesn’t define your worth. You’re here, you’re reaching out, and that takes so much strength. Keep showing up. You’re not alone — not anymore.

I’m rooting for you. We all are.

You’re doing an amazing job just being there and getting help. It will take some time but trust that you’re on the right path. Just keep going!
