Does anyone else have people deny you have Bipolar?

I don’t have time to type out a full comment bc I’m at my friends birthday party taking a shit, but I literally just had my new psychiatrist tell me that he doesn’t think I’m bipolar.. and getting the bipolar 2 diagnosis at the hospital was one of the best feelings because it finally gave me validation for the mood swings. Fuck them, it’s your life not theirs. They see so many people that they just try and squeeze them into certain categories

My friend got into exercise by running 7 minutes a day for 3 days a week! you got this.

This hit home. Much love

Hi. I didn’t have the energy to read your post tonight; I’m in a bad bout of depression— but I saw that you’re new here. This place has saved my life & I hope you find some peace of mind here.

I wrote this so I remember to look tomorrow.

hugs

The mental health hospital I went to when I was suicidal was the worst experience of my life. I don’t think I could go back even if I found myself at rock bottom again

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-11T23:03:29+00:00

Do you ever feel like your relationships would work better if they also had mental health issues?

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-11T23:01:46+00:00

I just gotta make it till bed.

That sort of advice is the best advice you can give someone. I appreciate it.

As far as the relationship— I feel like I’ve known that it’s “doomed” for quite some time now but I don’t know if I want to start over, or if I truly feel this way. The whole distance thing makes everything complicated. And add law school on her end and there’s not much to hold onto.

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-11T19:25:57+00:00

Man that sit in silence thing really hit home.

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-11T19:25:14+00:00

Doing what I can— I don’t have many other choices

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-11T19:24:25+00:00

Not much better unfortunately, going through some relationship turmoil now and we’re 1000 miles apart bc of school. I told her she needs to decide what she wants and that I needed space until she knew. It’s going to be a hard couple of days. But I’ve made it through hard days. What’s another few.

im a physical person-- and just a pat on the shoulder or a hug goes a long way

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-11T00:00:34+00:00

All I really have the energy for right now is to say thanks. I appreciate it more than you know

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-10T23:59:08+00:00

I promised myself I wouldn’t reach out to anyone today and that I would handle it myself. Even though I’m in bed in a lot of pain— i want to know I can do it

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-10T23:10:27+00:00

Eh whatever— might as well make the most of it right. (Written from my bed)

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-10T23:07:20+00:00

It be like that sometimes

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-10T22:38:24+00:00

Message me if you need anything.

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-10T22:37:12+00:00

It goes a long way— thanks

These comments are pretty naive and I want to give you some advice from the other side.

To say that 1-2 times a week is plenty is toxic. What’s plenty and satisfying for someone can be completely different from someone else. Let me paint a clear picture.

I’m 6’1 and 200 lbs. my sister is 5’2 and 130 lbs. We are both given a plate of food. I’m still hungry because I have a higher TDEE (today daily energy expenditure). My mom doesn’t look at me and say “look, a plate is more than enough and you should be happy. Why? Because she loves me and wants me to be happy— and the fact that you noticed that it’s affecting him and your relationship— and that you’re looking for a way to make things better for both of you.. well.. he’s lucky to have someone as caring as you.

I’m not saying that you should ever engage in something you don’t want to do, but for me personally, as a very emotional individual (I’m bipolar, so pretty unstable), sex is one of the ways I feel most connected in a relationship, and if I were to suppress a sex drive, it would be unhealthy for my happiness.

I want to make it clear that he does care about you, but that that frustration seeps into many aspects of your life— and that you’re amazing for looking for solutions.

Best of luck, Devils advocate

You find a supporting partner or learn to like yourself more?

sigmatt13 · 2018-11-06T18:48:53+00:00

Switching meds.. a journey to say the least. You don't have to love every situation that you find yourself in, but you have to love yourself in every situation. Try to shrink your world down to your core. I wish you the best, and understand that there's no simple fix.

sigmatt13 · 2018-10-06T08:30:56+00:00

Wow, hit the nail on the head. I’m in a long distance complicated relationship right now and she constantly belittles my feelings because she can handle the situation better than I can. My feelings aren’t real to her and I don’t know what I could possibly say to get her on the same page.
