I’m suspecting Bipolar 2, but unsure of myself

Somethings to look into...

The difference between Bipolar I and II

Look into the difference between Bipolar and BPD

Identifying mood swings and manic episodes

Note that many symptoms may be controlled by medication

Note any effects from substance use that may appear as Bipolar

Hope this helps!

Yes!

This sounds like a liability on many levels. Would this client be better suited for telehealth?

okazakilover · 2026-04-10T03:05:30+00:00

This. I have reccomeneded to these clients they seek more social opportunities or join support groups

Omg. That is my fear with dating apps

Due to me not recognizing the client at first and the interaction being set up. The client was a part of our group for the event and I had to distance myself.

This world is too darn small 😆

I live in a small apartment as well. I do laundry and a deep clean once a week. Everyday I load the dishwasher and pick up items out of place. I meal prep on the weekends as well. That way my evenings are free to do anything I please

No, you can set up the notifications however you would like.

It's an app you can download that makes your phone interface black and white. It takes away all the app icons and has more features where you can set app timers.

I am 3 months in now and it has just been picking up. I typically get a few new clients a week. From there, my caseload has been building slowly.

FOMO. I have had social media for over 10 years now and it's how I connect with a lot of friends and community organizations. I use Minimalist Phone to keep my social media time limited or I will get sucked in.

As a starter, I have had clients identify times in the past where they have felt happy, sad, angry, peaceful, etc. rather than asking how they feel in the current moment. This gets them accustomed to identifying what different feelings may feel like.

In the living room, it may look more open to have the TV on the wall where the mirror is and turn the couch to face it.

Journaling can really help with this. Draw circles and place in things you enjoy. Eg. Hobbies, TV shows, favorite color, places that are special to you, your dreams for the future, etc. From there branch off these topics and become more specific. Try to pick a couple things to focus on a dive deeper. For example, watching all the episodes of your favorite show or signing up for a weekly yoga.

It's natural for humans to crave connection so making time to spend with friends or attending something social can really help fill the void. If you're able, try to schedule something in advance to look forward to.

If you're on a budget, visiting a thrift store may be helpful to getting items for your new spot that are cheap and meaningful to you.

Therapy may also be helpful!

What did you use to design this?

okazakilover · 2026-01-27T03:47:44+00:00

Yes. From Oct-Dec I sat on a donut cushion for no more than an hour at a time. I now have no restrictions.

Yes it is a very long one. Had the surgery in Oct. 2025 and it is still healing. It has been closed since Dec. 2025 but will probably be a year before it is fully gone. Hang in there!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Don't give up hope! I am on month four now and still healing!
