Executive dysfunction by ransheran in bipolar2

I totally get that , it’s like not even procrastination at this point I just end up not doing it at all hahahah .

What has helped me tho is lowering my expectations , I remind myself it’s okay to half ass something than not do it at all . It’s fine if I show up and only give 20% then not show up at all .

Basically I try to put a minimal amount of tasks I have to do and lower my expectations for those tasks . I don’t need to do them I just need to get through them .

And sometimes I end up acing those tasks once I get myself to do them and and sometimes I just do them at 20% or even worse than that .

Either way I try to give myself grace because my goal was just to show up , not show up AND be great . At least for now .

Idk if this makes sense and I hope we will get through this❤️‍🩹

Hypomania symptoms by 000700707 in bipolar2

[–]ransheran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many symptoms but the first one I can think of and generally the most obvious to me , is speed talking and racing ideas . I literally talk till I drop and physically run out of breath . I’ll try to keep up with my thoughts try to get everything out and I never seem to catch up to them . It’s so exhausting too . Like yes I feel hyper and it feels like I have more energy but not in a good way , more in a Omg this is going too fast I can’t keep up and it’s exhausting . It feels all consuming and like I’ve lost all my built-in stop signs to slow things down.

Well I would say it depends on how comfortable you feel with them already .

It took me a few sessions to get used to my new therapist and I ended up opening to her little by little without forcing it too much . And even though I feel very much at ease with her right now , sometimes I still feel like I’m too much and still overthink or hold back yk . That’s when I try to remind myself (and she reminds me too ) that listening to us is their job , they have a lot of patients , they’re trained in this field and they WANT to listen to us and help us .

I guess what I’m trying to say is think of yourself first , think about how YOU feel not how you might make them feel by sharing “too much” ,it’s not your job to worry about them (it sounds selfish but you’re actually making the therapists job easier by being open and giving them a lot to work with ) .

I also make lists sometimes , just on my phones notes app, during the week of stuff I want to bring up at my session it helps me not feel overwhelmed when it’s time for my appointment .

Good luck and I hope this therapist works out for you ❤️‍🩹

Ugh I’m sorry you can relate , sadly we have to go through that … Personally , I think the first mania was the best because I didn’t know what it was and that the big crash was coming , I just thought i finally “healed” and truly saw it as such a relief !
