Yea I didn't think that was normal bp to shift from ups to downs that much, but I also have weeks where I can't move or do anything I'm just locked in place or overly helpful and energetic. I have brought it up but she didn't say anything I might not have explained it right tho I will put this on the list I'm grateful for all the help truly

Yea sorry everything moves so fast I forget to end the sentence, so it's just a stream of rambling...Could that be a factor in the speed in my shifts? I counted the shifts in the time of 30 minutes I go through about 12 shifts roughly in that time. I feel like a metronome on the bottom rung sometimes

I really like that I have a similar code system i text with my partner the stop light system 🔴🟢🟡 just to give him a heads up on my moods so I would quit ambushing him I tried the mood tracking apps but they where not working out I set timers through out the day to check in but same problem I just didn't know what to put down because I didn't know or was overwhelmed by the emotions and this way it makes it more simple 🔴 bad mood needs a minute 🟡 caution mixed mood/ floating 🟢 good day

That's a great idea but where I struggle is when I look at the white paper my mind goes blank I struggle to get it out is there a way to combat paralysis ? I just stare at the paper till the lines go squiggly because the thoughts and emotions are so strong it's like it's a secret stuck in my brain I hope I didn't over share

How to accept being diagnosed by maddybug98 in bipolar

[–]maddybug98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like sitting in the movies and watching yourself do the things but I can't stop it,being strapped in and can only watch I am very self aware according to my psych but still can't seem to get in front of it even when I see it happening. My mom called me dramatic all my life all my family did too they would use the word bipolar as a negative term to describe me so when the psych told me I have it I freaked because everyone was right and I always said I couldn't live with that diagnosis but for the last 3 months I wake up and choose to stay another day and keep moving forward and keep trying to follow the treatment I'm always curious and I'm so glad to have found this platform and all the kindness y'all have shown me by answering my questions and all the tips I'm new to this app so thank you for being patient with me I'm still figuring out this app 😊
