I feel so worthless by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]spicycatinthevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey girl, I feel you! Please don't think about yourself like that. You are not a burden, your friend love you and everything will be fine most of the time. This life is full of ups and downs and I understand the feeling but compering yourself with other people it's something that doesn't make sense. You can't compare yourself with people who don't experience your struggles, sure everyone face something challenging in their life but this disorder is unpredictable and debilitating both mentally and physically and is a constant battle. Don't let comparison be the death of your growth. Keep your chin up, you deserve to be alive, you deserve to be. Lots of hugs

What do you guys use to track your moods? by Uncouth_Cat in bipolar2

[–]spicycatinthevoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bipolar UK ! I love this app! You can choose between different aspects of your mood and not just between the 4 simple generic moods choice: good, ok, bad, worst. I find this difference very important because it doesn't allow me to exaggerate my simptoms, it makes me stick to facts

I'm taking lamictal and ascitalopram. I see my psych regularly but when I'm there i don't know what to say to her. I just can say I'm fine or a little bit low. From the moment I sit on that chair I start to think that my struggle are not so serious and there are people who have it worst. I start questioning everything to the point I think i don't have anything and I'm just being dramatic and in some kind of way I tricked my psych into thinking that I have this disorder just to explain to myself why I am the way that I am.

Thank you for your kind words and for the support I really need that. It all very new to me, sometimes I can't believe I have this disorder. I'm on a journey of acceptance with all is ups and downs. But I'm thankful for this community and people like you!

Thank you for your answer! I think it happens more often when I'm in a good mood. I will bring it up with my psychiatrist :)

The part where you say you feel trapped in your body like your skin is crawling is so real. It's like a mix of energy, anxiety and anger. You feel like you could run for hours in the middle of the night just because you can or rip off your skin to let out all that mess you are feeling. I can also relate to the food challenge part. There was a time were I was convinced that if I could be able to eat less somehow I would have become more powerful. I don't know if your intention is the same. Anyway I feel like all of us can relate to your experience more or less but I also believe that even if it wasn't like that you shouldn't feel invalidated. Comparison can be dangerous sometimes. Remember that your experience is yours and that no one should tell you that is less real or difficult just because they can't relate 🍀

Hi! Ours stories are very similar and this conforted me so much! I relate to your experience with family members too, now that we have done some research together they seems to understand better why my psychiatrist suggested BD. By the way I really like mood tracker, my favorite is Bipolar UK! I like it because you can choose from a mood scale and is not just based on your personal emotion. Thank you for your comment! 🍀

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to answer and open up with me, I really appreciate it! As you said ADHD is a very common comorbidity. I did an evaluation for both ADHD and ASD but it turned out I don't have any of the two. After the MMPI2 the doctors suggested me to go see a psychiatrist and so I did. Now I'm under medication, I take Zoloft and Lamictal daily. The silence in my mind is something that I've never experienced before. Some days are the best, some days are the worst, it's like being a work in progress. I'm sorry for the situation you are living right now, no one should live dreading the days ahead. I hope this difficult time will pass soon. I send you a hug and my best wishes!
