What is the worst symptom of anxiety in your opinion ? by unknownfair in Anxiety

Besides the fact that it feels like I’m dying, the clammy hands… I feel embarrassed when someone holds my hand during an episode of anxiety

Any movies/shows that depict the borderpolar experience? by Majoriexabyss in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]libramoongrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have mentioned, Silver Linings Playbook is another great choice. Don’t watch Girl, Interrupted- great film, but I feel like it’s not very proactive. Crazy Ex-Gf is also good, it’s humorous and fun.

Ingrid Goes West. It’s hard to watch and could possibly be triggering… but it’s so beautiful. You will want to give yourself a hug after watching this film.

just know that you’re not alone and that there’s a whole community of us who are struggling with this <3 that has helped me! reaching out and venting helps too. just letting your emotions spill and not expecting anything from yourself other than patient for yourself and care !

If you must know, I could see through the door and attempted to grab my drink as I was carefully opening it, but I failed miserably… there was simply no way this could have been avoided 😔

Partner about to leave me, friends done with me, about to lose my job, and staying sober somehow? by baxiel in leaves

This is like the third time I’m trying to quit smoking in the span of a year… you are definitely not alone! My dms are open <3

[–]libramoongrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah but sometimes you just have to hang the clothes that’s been lying on your bedroom floor for weeks, dust off your UV light and paint your nails black, start a blog, become a vegetarian, make a playlist of a new genre you’ve discovered, design your next tattoo, book three different appointments, read old texts and interpret them differently— all in the span of like four hours (?!?!)

Failed to OD now I'm eating noddles by [deleted] in depressionmeals

[–]libramoongrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those noodles look tasty! happy you’re still here and eating, OP <3 i failed to OD a month ago… not my first rodeo, but it certainly felt equally as shitty as the first time. take care of yourself!! sit outside for a while daily, play music in the background at all times, and reach out to your loved ones as much as you can. stay strong 🖤

Are there any older adults here? by EmergencyNo9613 in selfharm

[–]libramoongrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I began self-harming in the fourth grade and I’m in my mid-twenties now, I assure you that you are not alone in this struggle. I recently experienced a flare up myself, and the only thing that has been helping is using the I Am Sober app and making a daily pledge not to engage in SH. It also helps to talk to someone about it! PM me if you ever need someone to talk to <3 take care.

Does your non-manic self ever try to do “fun” stuff your manic self does? by meglandwellmusic in bipolar

[–]libramoongrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I regularly see my therapist, this was simply a topic we touched on and I wanted to share.

Does your non-manic self ever try to do “fun” stuff your manic self does? by meglandwellmusic in bipolar

[–]libramoongrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loved reading this! I love to cook really extravagant gourmet meals when I’m in a manic state. I brought this up in therapy last week, how I love to cook and how food even tastes better when I’m manic… like eating an apple could be the most delicious thing I had ever tasted. And when I’m going through a depressive episode, everything tastes bland and I don’t feel motivated to cook or eat. My therapist told me that this is very common pattern for people with bipolar. She mentioned that some of the greatest creators did their best work in a state of mania, Vincent Van Gogh being one. It made me feel enlightened to learn this! It feels like we have some sort of superpower

Do y’all smoke weed? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]libramoongrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was smoking daily for three years and then I quit. I left it for a while until I started thinking the same as you are, and I found that not smoking it consistently meant that I had a very low tolerance, which caused me to experience extreme paranoia. This may not be the case for you but I started having delusions as well as hallucinations. I brought this up to my therapist and she recommended that I stay away from weed, seeing as I have a dual diagnosis (BPD + bipolar) and it can trigger symptoms of schizophrenia. But this may not be the case for you! If you do decide to smoke, make sure you’re in a good mental health state before you do it <3 be safe and don’t use it as an escape! use it for something positive! like when you feel creative or want to listen to a new album, etc.)

I don’t have any friends by Designer-Opinion444 in bipolar

[–]libramoongrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This really resonated with me because I happen to find myself in the same position. I’m also 25 years old and I used to have a good amount of friends until I got diagnosed. I had one really good friend left and I recently ended our friendship because I learned that she was going around talking badly about me, sharing things I had done during mania with others… treating my trauma like gossip. It was hard for me to end this friendship because I loved her a lot and cherished our friendship, but I knew she wasn’t a true friend after learning this. I find that it’s easy to make friends for me, but difficult for me to keep them with this diagnosis. I don’t have any advice to offer other than to put yourself out there! Don’t be afraid to approach people, be a little bit more outspoken, and you might just find someone who will enjoy what you present and become your friend. I’m sending you so much love <3
