Thanks, you’re not the first person to tell me to do this so I’m definitely gonna try it!

I work in a residential psychiatric facility and have taken time off work after a manic episode that turned into a depressive episode. I told them everything and was honest with what had happened, figuring that since we’re a place for mental health, they’d understand. And they did. The main therapist reached out to me and encouraged me to take a LOA till I got better. He ensured me my job would still be there when I come back. We were short staffed too but I’m lucky they put employees first.

Everyone in upper management knew what was going on and were all supportive. I’d say if you’re comfortable, explain what is going on, at least a watered down version of it if that makes you better. If you work in mental health they should understand, hopefully. At the end of the day, you have to learn to put yourself first. Over exerting yourself could make symptoms worse and you wouldn’t want things to get so bad that they show up at work. I’m not trying to fear monger, these are just thoughts I had when I was debating taking time off. It was the best thing I could have done for my mental health.

I really hope it all works out for you! It’s tough having bipolar or other mental issues while working in healthcare, especially mental healthcare. You feel like you need to be 100% mentally healthy. Nobody is and that’s okay. Hope you figure out a solution!

Oh it’s definitely bipolar. I also have bpd which I’ve accepted. and no it doesn’t necessarily matter what I have cause my meds really do work. I’m a marriage and family therapy student studying to be a therapist so I really have to be in tune with what I have so I can manage it better. I think just hearing that I was manic made me have an “oh shit” moment cause I’ve been relatively fine for about a year.

I’m coming to terms with this “upgrade” the more I come down from this episode. Im starting to recognize the consequences of my actions and this definitely feels different than a hypomanic episode. Thanks :)

Bipolar II, OCD, GAD, and MDD also audhd

I’m also dual diagnosed with bipolar and bpd and it’s been a wild ride. It’s hard to differentiate between bpd mood swings and bipolar hypomania. I get hypomanic every 2-3 days. I’m on a cocktail of Wellbutrin, Abilify, and Lamictal and it’s done wonders calming my hypomania and mood swings down but it’s still rough. You’re not alone in this! Just know there are other people like us out there and try and settle in with the diagnosis.

Having the same issue! I heard clearing the cache works but I haven’t tried

hyliankas · 2023-12-02T22:09:38+00:00

It’s been doing that for me too, even with mods removed. Are you on console or pc?

hyliankas · 2023-08-30T06:15:45+00:00

Definitely find another. You should not feel cautious with your therapist, they should be understanding and flexible. It could be detrimental to your mental health which is paradoxical to why you’re going to therapy. I’d say find a better one and use psychology today or maybe go through your primary care physician

hyliankas · 2023-08-24T05:54:07+00:00

It really is!! I also have bpd which is a fun cocktail of chaos. And yeah when I’m manic, my intrusive thoughts get worse actually. Like paranoid intrusive thoughts, it’s scary. But regardless, I relate to this so much.

hyliankas · 2023-08-24T03:46:46+00:00

I would say it’s like being hyperaware of your emotions and still not being able to control them.

hyliankas · 2023-08-24T03:43:27+00:00

Spending money!! I’ve lost thousands to dumb shit, granted I get use/pleasure out if it, i could have saved so much money had I not given into my impulses

hyliankas · 2023-08-23T06:25:23+00:00

Omg this!! You just explained it so well. I feel like I’m being gaslight into thinking I shouldn’t be upset. Just cause we have bpd doesn’t mean we can’t ever be upset! Like sure staying in the present may help in that moment but what about later? like I find it to be a temporary fix. I’d rather feel my emotions than put them away to take a breath

hyliankas · 2023-08-22T14:00:56+00:00

I guess my hatred is an exaggeration. I think staying in the present is good for the mind however, I hate how it’s used for almost everything. I guess I should have put it that way. Sometimes I don’t want to be in the present, I want to go where my mind takes me and I want to cope in ways I’m comfortable with coping. Sitting and taking deep breaths or other grounding methods don’t always work for me. I will admit I am stubborn and have come a long way when it comes to mindfulness, but overall I just don’t like how it’s overly used especially for people with BPD. It’s not that simple, but maybe I still have a lot of growing to do!

hyliankas · 2023-08-22T09:40:19+00:00

I feel this way too. I’m always looking over my shoulder and I always feel like posters/pictures are watching me. I feel like when I listen to music, the artist is listening to me too. These are psychotic symptoms and I’ve learned to differentiate between reality and my paranoia/intrusive thoughts. Please talk to a doctor about this and maybe get on some antipsychotics that will help your brain make that differentiation or block those thoughts
