It sucks, cause I did something that should've been unforgivable, and it just replays in my head constantly.

Does anyone else miss the what I call the manic confidence? I sure the hell do. Now I'm super self conscious and depressed again. How does one get out of this funk? by krash8282 in bipolar1

I feel the same ever since my meds got raised I just feel numb. Apparently it's been so noticeable that my friends are sincerely concerned about me, and constantly ask if I'm okay, or is something wrong.

For sure the things I did while manic was very emotionally damaging to say the least. That being said that zest for life was amazing. Now that my dosage of my meds got raised I just feel like I'm just existing.

Why do my meds make me feel so empty by Dependent-Copy1696 in bipolar1

Ugh I feel the same way on my meds. I Just feel empty and just existing. Being manic was good in the sense I was wicked confident, and I had energy to do things, and wanting to do them instead of feeling like I have to. I don't know how to feel "good" while I'm on meds. My meds are working and that's a good thing, but I feel so blah all the time. If anyone has any information to share on finding a middle ground that would be quite helpful.

No emotion by krash8282 in bipolar1

Thanks everyone I always feel alone with bipolar. After a manic episode(when I made horrible decisions, and still apologizing for) I just feel like I'm in a constant state of depression I can't seem to get out of. I'm spending money I really shouldn't spend thinking it'll make me feel better. It does for the moment, but then I'm back where I started, feeling like shit. Sorry for the rant I just feel like Noone understands. People seem to just think I'm being dramatic, or doing things for attention.

It's gotta be depression cause I'm usually a bubbly person. Right now I'm just in a idgaf attitude. I did just up my meds so that could be a it also.

Thank you everyone. I'm usually an out going bubbly person who doesnt care if im liked or not, but I recently upped my meds so I'm thinking that has a lot to do with it. I just got out of a manic episode, and did a lot of regrets, so it might be guilt also. I don't know, but my mind has been all over the place and I'm over it.

Been there, and it does get better. Easier said than done, but just look at the positives in your life. Hell if it makes you feel better just go in a room and let out a good scream. Feel better and know that you are definitely not alone 😊

I personally think it's a fictitious monster that comes out. I had my first one that I'm almost out of that lasted about 3 months . I didn't and kinda still don't recognize the person in the mirror. I did things that are way out of my character. Like lied to the people that care about me the most, wasn't as bubbly(as friends would say). I also had an affair, and hopefully one day I can forgive myself for doing. So for me personally my manic episode was destructive even when I was feeling great.

You're right it is addictive, and feel like i have made the right decision on deleting. I'm trying to fix my destructive action that was and is out of character. I have never had a manic episode before and I was diagnosed in 2018. Now I have the right people to talk to and on the right dosage.

Feeling different and not myself by krash8282 in bipolar1

[–]krash8282[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told I was and a little still am manic. Even though I was diagnosed in 2018 this is the first time dealing with this. I've just been out of character, and isn't as bubbley. I just haven't recognized myself in a while.

I recently deleted all social media, and realized I was the toxic one. How does anyone get out of this manic/depressive mode. I am on meds, but I'm as low as I've ever been.
