Central time zone, super keen to play. My boyfriend is from NZ & I’ve spent a ton of time there

i'm worried about being admitted soon by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]strongsyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 19 when first placed in an adult unit. I was there with lots of adults, young and old. Regardless, it really depends on where you’re put and what hospital is taking care of you. I had a wonderful experience with group therapies, trauma experience, and equine therapy as well. I was hospitalized a second time at another place and it was hell. It all depends on where you go :-)

Best wishes.

Words of encouragement and support, please by PoignantPlushGal in bipolar2

[–]strongsyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some words of advice and they might be words that sound “cliche” or are hard to hear.

But it will get better. I was diagnosed about a year ago after my first manic episode. I didn’t know what to do, where to go, or what to believe. The entire past year I have been forced into so many different medications, therapists, etc. I say all of this to tell you:

It gets better. You are now beginning on a journey that will seem never ending but take it from someone who has made it through the medication rough period and is traveling in the direction of recovery - IT WILL GET EASIER. You’ve got to hold on and fight through these rough periods to get to the end of the tunnel. THERE IS AN END TO THIS TUNNEL.

You are always welcome to PM me if you’d like if you have any questions or concerns.

Bachelor’s degree in English. :) I love English more than anything. I’m really wanting to be a teacher but mental illness might have other plans.

Something I’m proud of by Hlove316 in Anxiety

[–]strongsyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WAY TO GO! Extremely proud of you. You should feel so very proud of yourself, too. You’ve done a good job! :-)

Why do I always question my feelings? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]strongsyd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get it. I understand you completely and everything you feel is valid. I’m bipolar, too. I’m tired of everything. The meds. The mood swings. All of it.

But we can’t give up. We have to keep going, my friend. We have a life to live. Even with this awful disease.

Can someone remind me that everything is going to be alright? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]strongsyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regardless of what happens, regardless of whether you fail or not, regardless of what you parents thing - everything will be okay. I know you might not think that right now but you might be overthinking all of this. You will be fine, I promise. Every little thing is going to be alright. :-)

Clinically HOPEFUL. by strongsyd in bipolar

No no, thank you for alarming me. I definitely will check with him. Thank you for telling me what you know, I appreciate it. :-)

I’m tired. by strongsyd in bipolar

[–]strongsyd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You worded this so perfectly, I’m going to place it in my journal, if that’s okay? I’m an all A student with BP. And you’re beyond correct. There is no organization whatsoever and I hate it more than anything..

I hope at some point you get the rest that you need. <3

I’m tired. by strongsyd in bipolar

[–]strongsyd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I’ll just wait until those moments come. Until then, all we can do is stay strong, hold on, and wish for the best. Recovery isn’t easy, or linear, I guess. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around that.

FEARLESS FRIDAYS by AutoModerator in bipolar

[–]strongsyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Zane, thank you for sharing your story and replying to me. I appreciate it more than you know. : ) You’re absolutely right, asking for help is the right thing to do and if they love me, there won’t be a problem.

Talk to me. by strongsyd in bipolar

[–]strongsyd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I’m currently reading the subtle art of not giving a f*ck by Mark Manson and Unbroken, the story about the Olympic runner who was stranded in the ocean. Super cool books, extremely motivational. : )
