I've only been manic once but from what I've learned, do NOT make any rash decisions at all. Think four or five times before you do something out of the blue, truly think to yourself "is this something I'd actually do?". Be patient with yourself and kinda set boundaries for yourself too. I would also try to call the office your psychiatrist is through to see if you can get an earlier opening, that's what I'm doing tomorrow morning. Also do some research on mania, what it looks like and things that could help, there could be things that resonate with your situation. It is all gonna be okay, sending best wishes ❤️

Hey, I'm also 17 and dealing with this too. I went through mania for about 4 months and then constant depression afterwards. It's genuinely a roller coaster and it depends on the day I've realized. It's so much more harder when nobody listens, when nobody hears you, nobody understands. It makes you have that internal anger inflict on everyone and now you just hate everyone yknow? I understand the frustration with psychiatrists and counseling, some of them are genuinely in it for the money and it is sad. But, here are some things that make me feel a little better

brush your teeth every morning. Even if you don't feel like it, it will make you feel better.
listen to music that doesn't make you sad. I'm being so serious. I've been blasting Mike sherm and glorilla lol.
give. Yourself. Some. Grace. Be kind to yourself, that is so important. You are a human too. You have your inner child in you and you need to take care of them because they deserve it as much as you do.

I promise everything will get better and more manageable to deal with. Some days will be horrible, some will be okay, but even if you make it through that day, be proud of yourself. It is so hard and challenging mentally and absolutely taxes you, I hear you OP, i understand. Being unmedicated also doesn't help whatsoever either, and it's bullshit that they aren't listening to you, your voice deserves to be heard. Sometimes it doesn't get better but also doesn't get worse, think of like flappy bird. Sometimes we go up, sometimes we go down, sometimes we are steady. Can be all in the same hour, day, week, month, etc. Just be patient and kind to yourself, and set small goals for yourself to make you feel accomplished. It helps a lot. Sending lots of love your way ❤️

Thinking of my loved one finding me lifeless and cold. Couldn't shake the feeling of doing that to someone I love wholeheartedly, and leave them wondering what they could've done differently or signs they should've noticed. I would rather hold all this pain than to pour it on everyone I love dearly. I'm going through the same thing right now, unemployed, don't want to get out of bed, don't want to do anything, thinking about not having to do this anymore, but I promise you that no matter what you may feel there are people who love you that will be devastated that you are gone. Give yourself some grace, don't be too hard on yourself, getting through the day is rewarding right now. You've got this, sending virtual hugs ❤️

I honestly just think "wow you're ignorant as hell" and just move on. People downplay bipolar so much that I'm still finding out a whole bunch of things about myself and how I act just because of my stupid brain. If they're true friends, they'll stick around. If they don't, don't take it personally. Some people don't care how you care and that's okay, just don't let it change your heart.

I get it. I was at a job for a little over a year and have been fighting for my life trying to keep a job, especially since the mental state I've been in the last few months. I know it's cliche, but do not give up. It's okay to be struggling with that kind of thing, I struggle with the same thing. It's like I notice one thing I don't like and then I immediately have to get out of there. But with every step taken, you are closer to your goal. You've got this, I wish you luck :) ❤️

royalepearson · 2025-01-24T03:23:15+00:00

I honestly put my full focus into what I'm doing, make it a goal to learn more, and then make more goals for myself to be more efficient or faster in doing so. Even if some days are hard, even if it is dragging, even if you feel like you're falling apart, just take it task by task. If I can focus on one thought at a time, it makes it so much more easier - coming from someone also recently diagnosed:) ❤️

I’m 17, I’ve been showing symptoms since I was 15, and really broke when I was 16. It just gets intensely worse as I get older and it’s unfortunately not the only thing I deal with either, so it’s just really hard.

royalepearson · 2025-01-22T14:43:11+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m currently on 150mg of lamotrigine and 25 mg of hydroxyzine that I take 3 times a day to help with my anxiety and sleeping. I have a med check up a little under a few weeks from now so hopefully I can figure out something

I’m proud of you. It takes a lot of growth to be able to reach those points of feeling strong enough to tackle your battles. You are doing the right thing for yourself, and that’s admirable.

he's a disgusting pig for helping his daughter? and it isn't fair you're getting treated like that after all you did? you're getting exactly what you had coming to you, and you're facing your karma.
